Tony Becker Welcome to Irina´s and Tony´s Travel Blog !

We will set off from Cologne on the Februar 01, 2008 on our around the world adventure. Our mission ... trying to find some kind of intelligent life out there.

Our intention is not to bore you to tears by doing it, but maybe you´ll find it useful and amusing while being bored at home :) So, stay in touch and feel free to comment and let us be part of your thoughts, wherever you are right now.

Hugs and Kisses from Iri & Tony

Bienvenidos ! Last station Colombia, we recharged our batteries in La Boquilla, a lovely small fisher village by the Carribean Sea near beautiful Cartagena and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in Colombia which has suffered from severe serious issues in the very past, mainly in the sector human rights. Luckily and impressively, the situation has massively changed for the better, thanks to President Uribe.We can only encourage everybody to visit the country, we promise you'll get enchanted immediately. Bogotà, a class of its own, people are fun-loving, cusrious and always muy amable. A perfect f [View Full Entry]

is big in Ecuador too. If you are into fashion or at least interested you should know that it's important what you wear on your head and feet, the rest in between doesn't count much.
Good Morning everyone .. no, it's not Morning time in your place, well at least it's always Morning somewhere on the planet. Hmm... let´s see where are we ... we just finished our trip through Ecuador. Ecuador is the second-smallest country in South America, but its range of offerings is no less than astounding. In one day’s drive you can journey from the Amazon Basin across glaciated Andean volcanoes, down through tropical cloud forest and into the sunset for a dinner of ceviche on the balmy Pacific coast ... which of course we all did, and much more as u might [View Full Entry]

Lima rocks ... a tough place to be. No, we didn't climb that mountain, we might be crazy but we're not completely insane.
Dames y Caballeros ! Que estan haciendo ? Aren't you people bored yet by our ""funny"" reports and pictures ? Of course not, you wouldn't have tuned in if you were, de acuerdo ? How is home/work/family life doing, no struggle or strife at the frontline ? Good to know ... as you know we're always concerned about you. Ok, let's get ready for a new episode of the trip around the small small world. El Señor de Sipán ... who is this, any ideas ? Let's start with the country as such .. Peru, we dived into and thru this [View Full Entry]

While Irina enjoyed riding through the canyons, I decided to get lost in the desert. But I am fighter and know how to survive ... Here I am about to prepare myself a delicious cactus shake.
Buenos Dias a todos! How is life in the real world ? Guess it's rough 'n rude, so we better enjoy travelling which doesn't mean it's fun all the time. We hope everybody is in good health and the daily news are getting better. It's been a while since we posted our more or less valuable remarks and pictures, we reckon it's time again to feed you with some more fairytales. Three weeks Bolivia, we almost pulled all slots. Bolivia, situated in Central South America , quickly caught our attention, is a country of superlatives. You'll find the world's biggest biodiversity, [View Full Entry]

We felt a little peeved when we arrived in Concepcion and it turned out that our pre-booked rental car came in the shape of this slightly old-dated vehicle.
Queridos Amigos, did you have a kick start into 2009, or are u still heavily afflicted with severe hangover syndroms since new years eve ? Certainly not, I guess business as usual is dominating our lifes all over already again. Same for us, well not really, let's put in the famous 'same same but different' phrase. We corssed the border to Paraguay on the last day of 2008 and stranded in one of the unpretentious cities of the world, called Encanarcion. While being there we took the unique chance to celebrate the most unsensational new years eve EVER ! The expression [View Full Entry]

Muchachos ... long time no talk, disculpamos and we hope you will forgive us cucarachas one more time. Did you have a nice christmas, maybe you find some time to recharge your batteries these days since it has been a tough year for all of us. We hope the good moments outnumber the bad ones if you look back at it and wish you a perfect start in 2009. We are so grateful for your support, following our steps all the time and giving us the feeling that you care about us. So, que paso in the meantime, after having learned [View Full Entry]

Chicos y chicas, gringos y gringas! ¿Cómo estan? Tenemos un rato grandioso en la Argentina ... in other words, we're enjoying very fruitful moments with the Gauchos, Mariachis, Panchos, Nachos etc. in lovely Argentina. After spending a few days in Buenos Aires, we saddled our horses and headed west, straight into the Cuyo region, west-central Argentina. By chance we picked the province Mendoza nearby the famous, imposing Andes and spent 10 days in the capital to spoil ourselves with the finest wines and world-class bife de chorizo and feed ourselves with la lengua argentina.

This picture was taken by Yeti in the dead zone of the southern alpes. Although some Japanese hikers robbed our oxygene masks we survived this hazardous trip.
welcome again to another update of our serious trip report, so get yourself a decent drink, buckle up and enjoy a closer look behind the curtain of Kiwiland. Before we take off, we'd just like to let u know that u'r always on our minds no matter where we are and what we're doing. Winter is slowly approaching in your hemisphere, provided you are based north of the equator. So, don't give coldness much of a chance, keep your hearts warm. Yep, still floating thru NZ, still tryin' to find out why people make such fuss about it. We colonized the [View Full Entry]

Kia Ora dear people (meaning Hello in traditional Maori) ... After gunning through the north island of NZ we learned that the ancestors of the Māori were a Polynesian people originating from south-east Asia. Some historians trace the early Polynesian settlers of New Zealand as migrating from today's China, making the long voyage traveling via Taiwan, through the South Pacific and on to Aotearoa (New Zealand). The name "Maori" originally meant "the local people", or "the original people". First european settlers from Australia and Great Britain arrived around 1790, These first settlers nor [View Full Entry]

.. and much much more to discover down under. G'day all you happy people around the globe, thx for tuning in. Today is our last day in Oz and we have to admit, we're a little sad. Although we drove more than 10,000km, from Darwin thru the Kimberley further west, then down south along the west coast via Perth, Adelaide to Melbourne we might have covered only 1% of the country, but we have an idea of what's the fuss about. It very much surprised us how diverse the country can be, it has plenty of faces, landscape varies dramatically, one [View Full Entry]
