There is just two of us this time, usually three, four or five, but others couldn't make it. When Roland ( the friend I'm on hols with) suggested Slovenia I had the thoughts of tanks on street corners and prety much a war zone. I was reluctant but you only live once and always get the mickey taken for never eaten an orange before ( which is not true, donuts yes). So lets get started with day 1. Cannot really remember what we did that day and the photos don't really say much. I presume we just made it to the airport, got a taxis to Ljubljana and then just wondered until we found our Hostel. No tanks so far.... read more

Y me es útil para volver a valorar su importancia: en cierta forma, no es posible conocer un lugar sin conocer la gente que lo habita y que lo interpreta desde lo íntimo día a día. Pero antes de iniciar, les platicaré de una persona que no pertenece a los sitios que visité, pero cuya ingenuidad y torpeza son tan grandes que le merecen el dudoso honor de abrir el texto ... read more

So, the first entry... How my travels started... nothing too dramatic... At the end of September 1998 i was finishing my graduation thesis. And in Ljubljana met for a drink my best friend Adi. While drinking beer and watching people going by, he explained his idea to go traveling to Zanzibar... Zanzibar I asked??? Thats somewhere faaaaar away? Yep, Africa he replied... Well, i was interested to go with. But, I didn't want to go only to the beaches, i wanted to see the world. I wanted to see wild animals... yes, lets go then backpacking to Tanzania.

We just now, that we will end our trip ... read more
