another day I, then end of my trip: Tomorrow evening I will board a plane of the Bolivian Aerosur to fly to Santa Cruz and from there with Copa Airlines of Panama City to Quito. The connection is pretty miserable and, as is customary in Latin America, fairly expensive - but the bus I was about eighty hours on the way and would certainly not a very pleasant trip. So, airplane!
Annika will depart today evening: Take the bus to La Paz and from there tomorrow at noon on a flight to Iquique in northern Chile. Four weeks have now, we traveled together, after we had decided in the summer during a short phone call to take advantage of that we are now both in South America: Many planned we do not, but the deal that we made in the summer, have met and we have seen so few of the highlights of Latin America ...
I have always thought, as it would for go on after the trip: Both Machu Picchu and the Salar de Uyuni stood for years on my travel wish list - and both places I have now traveled, and what remains now, the places I want to yet to discover for me? I do not know yet. Right now I'm pretty saturated in terms of travel experiences. Being away makes you tired and strained from time to time at the sole reason, because you have no home, no retreat. There are also uncertainties regarding planning and plan changes, health problems and financial difficulties, thousands of tips and warnings, as well as numerous volatile and a pair of connecting friends.
The last few days in Cochabamba I truly enjoyed, we were allowed to live in the apartment of my friend Henry , said Henry was not there / is. While I was coming from Ecuador, while in Bolivia, visited the Henry yap intermediate seminar in Ecuador. Also, I should be at this seminar, alone: the invitation has not reached me, so I of the seminar, by chance, already learned in Bolivia and in possession of my air tickets ...
From the beautiful house with even more beautiful roof terrace, we started a day to hike Cochabamba, learn and experience. We got to know German and Argentinian street artist volunteers saw once more traditional robes and technically demanding graffiti, visited the cancha , Cochabamba's enormous market, ate delicious ravioli, the famous salteñas acceptable Bolivian and drank wine.
course, we also visited the Cristo , the Christ statue that towers over the city: it overlooks the famous Christ to some of Rio de Janeiro and is the largest walk-Christ statue in the world! The view from the many small openings in the concrete sculpture is not bad, because of the pungent odor of urine in the statue but not long endure. Beautiful is the view of the city from the forecourt of the figure.
to Cristo drove Annie and I'm not being two had in the meantime also found a friend from NicaNetz , Sebastian Erb the way to Cochabamba, which led us to a small meeting, during which we decided all together to go to Cochabamba landmark. Sebastian has done this in the evening on the way to La Paz and is touring Latin America in search of exciting, (be) worth writing stories for a few months. Suerte!
I will walk again afterwards in Henry's apartment, my latest custom Hose testing and initiate with Annika on a successful journey. Morning, to the great packing and a final highlight, by the reports on Saturday in the sports section is. On Saturday I will meet Henry in Quito on Sunday and take the way back to Pucará, with a detour to the Pacific coast.
I will report back in time - until then, Be well!
