Mountain biking around Sorata The main reason we went to Sorata was to join a bike and boat trip with Andean Epics. I met Travis who runs this company when I was travellling in South America two years ago, and I did the full trip from Sorata to Rurrenabaque (http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/Beni-Department/Madidi/blog-275141.html). This time we only had time to do half of it and go back to La Paz from Guanay. Because of a traditional fiesta for the locals in Bolivia on monday, the trip didn´t start before tuesday this week. We chose to warm up for the trip with some biking around Sorata on monday. The area is perfect for long downhill rides with starting point at 4800 meters and plenty of dirt roads and singeltracks to choose from. We started off with a valley stretching down ... read more

Back in Bolivia! I´m back in Bolivia after two years! And it feels great. So far just in La Paz, but it´s plenty to do here, and loads of impressions to let sink in! Last time I was in Bolivia I loved La Paz, Eirin feels the same. She was amazed by the city and the first impression when we arrived. We´ve been here since saturday now, and the days has went quick. The first days you have to take it slow anyway to get acclimatized. Sunday was spent walking around in La Paz. In the main street they had closed the road for traffic and put up an festival. Loads of locals in the streets and plenty of different stuff going on. Seems like they are doing this quit often and with different themes. After ... read more

New York City Ok. I´m back on track! For those of you that haven´t been updated on this travel yet, I will give you a short resume. Eirin, a friend of mine, has taken a year off from her work to do some travelling around the world. When she was mentioning South America I got interested since I was travelling down there two years ago. And of course it had to end up with me joining her for a few weeks. Or, actually seven weeks... So now we are on the road again starting with New York for 4 nights, then a flight to Panama and transfer to Lima. We had to spend one night at the airport in Panama... Not much to write about. By the way: I would recommend everyone going to the States ... read more

Mombasa & Watamu As you probably see, I don't write as much now as I did in south america last year. The first part of this travel was studies, and I didn't feel that it was much to write about. The second part is like a short holiday. And this time I didn't really find the good feeling about writing. (the internet down here has not been as good as in parts of south america either...) But I give you a few photo's anyway. Maybe they can inspire you ; ) ... read more

Safari After 4 weeks of studying we finished on friday and went for a safari for three days. We were 10 students in total and two jeeps. We visited 3 different parks which all gave us different experiences. I might write a bit more later, but I think the pictures will tell the most of the story from this trip. Enjoy... read more
