Ein Jahr / One year / Un año Europe » Austria » Upper Austria » Salzkammergut

Unglaublich, aber wahr - schon ist ein Jahr vergangen, seid ich zu meiner Reise aufgebrochen bin ... daran wollte ich am Anfang gar nicht denken - so lange Zeit und doch so kurz ... Zum Jubilaeum gibt´s ein Video (mit Musik) mit ein paar Eindruecken dieses Jahres: Unbelieveable, but already passed by a year, since I started my journey ... in the beginning I didn´t think, it would last that long - a long time, but gone by very fast ... to celebrate this anniversary, here´s a video (with music) with a few impressions of this year: Increíble - ya estoy [View Full Entry]

Villa, San Martín & Junin de los Andes South America » Argentina » Neuquén » San Martín de Los Andes

San Martin de los Andes - 1
Well, I know it took me a long time again to write this blog-entry and I'm already almost half a year behind, but ... there are just too many better things to do, than sit in an Internet-cafe and write blog-entries ... and as I didn't get complaints, I don't feel too motivated, to change this :-) So I continued my journey on Wednesday the 25th of March in the morning and crossed from Chile to Argentina again. In the bus we got coffee in glass-cups, that was some kind of strange :-) Villa la Angostura is nice, but very touristic, [View Full Entry]

Chile 3 - Chiloé & More South America

ChiloÃ© 1
On the ferry with the horse :-)
With only 3 hours of sleep, I still managed (on the 15th of March) to get on time to the bus-terminal ;-) But my stomach wasn’t feeling that good and it needed about 2 hours to decide, if it would not eventually "come to visit me" ;-) So therefore the bus-ride was a little bit "difficult". The journey via the Andes from Argentina to Chile was without any problems and there have been quite some nice views. Unfortunately it was a little bit dizzy in Chile, so I didn’t see the volcano of Osorno. I made a short stop in Puerto [View Full Entry]

The Steam, The Hippies & The Chocolate South America » Argentina » Río Negro

Esquel 1
"La Trochita" - it is comming :-)
Well, after I had changed to the correct bus, we continued to the Argentinian border-control. There we than waited for the bus from Esquel, that will bring us to there. I got off the bus near the tourist-info - they have been really helpful, with lot´s of info and even prices for the accommodations. I choose one next to the bus-terminal. The La Trochita, an old steam-engine-train only operates on Tuesday and Friday - today (06.03.09) is Friday, but it´s already too late. So I waited for it´s return and took some photos there. I will not wait till next Tuesday [View Full Entry]

Chile 2 - Tranquility, Dust And The Fu South America » Chile » Los Lagos

Chile Chico 1
The name is program :-)
At the end of February (28.02.09) I was "stranded" in Chile Chico - and this is really "chico" (small). :-) The border crossing was slow, but it´s always interesting to see, how an passport from Europe starts to make them friendly and they don´t really check your luggage. This time they just asked me, what is in my bag and immediately said "that's okay" and I could leave, whilst the Israelis who where traveling with me, had to open all there bags and they controlled all the stuff ... Unfortunately the tourist-info here was really "bad" - they didn´t know or [View Full Entry]

Glaciers, Hiking and A Little Bit Of Nothing ... South America » Argentina » Santa Cruz

Way to Glaciar Perito Moreno 1
On the 18th of February I went from Puerto Natales (Chile) to El Calafate (Argentina) with an organized tour and continued to the nearby National Park "Los Glaciares", with the famous glacier "Perito Moreno". I have to say, it is really very impressive! Imagine a glacier, with a front of almost 2,5 km and you can access it by car almost directly to the front of it! And there are some balconies, so you are really close to it and if you stay at least one hour you can see it calve (and of course hear it all the time "work"). [View Full Entry]

First experiences with Chile ;-) South America » Chile » Magallanes

Ferry to Chile 1
I had to get up at 5:45, to catch my bus in Ushuaia to Punta Arenas (Chile) ... this was really tough! :-) The bus-ride was kind of funny, because there was another passenger, an older man with really thick glasses and an antique camera ... he forced the bus to stop on the way to take a picture and the drivers needed almost 10 minutes to bring him back to the bus, whilst we all where waiting ... :-) The boat-cruse with the ferry was nice, just the return to the bus was difficult, because there has been a big [View Full Entry]

Fireland - Ushuaia (or the most southern everything :-) South America » Argentina » Tierra del Fuego » Ushuaia

Flight to Ushuaia 1
Yes I know, it has been a looong, looong time (in fact 44 days!), since I published my last blog-entry ... somehow there is happening so much and I just do not have the time to write the blogs ... no time? sounds strange for someone who has "all the time he wants" - but it´s the truth! :-) ;-) I have to begin with an "anniversary": Today (05.02.09) is my 122nd day of the journey - this means, I´m already on my way for 1/3 of a year! Unbelieveable, how time is running! It feels like yesterday, when I left [View Full Entry]

The east-coast of Argentina South America » Argentina

Bus-ride to Viedma
Nice people shared some Mate with me :-)
So I finally continued to see the east-coast. Luckily I was able to go by car with Fernando from Villa Ventana to Bahia Blanca. There I could stay one night at his parent´s home. We went over to some friends of him and had a BBQ at the swimming-pool - was a nice evening. Well, went to bed at 1:30 and had to wake up at 5:30 to take a taxi to the bus-terminal to catch my bus to Viedma! That´s really less, but there was no other bus-connection ... In the bus I sat next to a nice family, that [View Full Entry]

Newsflash: Time to say goodbye ... Europe » Austria » Upper Austria » Steyr

Entrance
Well, finally I did it ... I´ve done the next step on my path, away from my "old life" and terminated the lease-contract for my flat in Steyr and sold all my furniture and technical devices, to the next tenant! So it seems, I´m sure of the new way in my life, because studying to become a Psychotherapist, will not lead me back to Steyr ... a very big "thank you" to my parents, who have arranged all this, whilst I was not at home ... bye, bye, nice flat (home for 11 years - from the 1st of December 1997, [View Full Entry]
