Adventurer – Critic – Photographer
I left the door to the bathroom open and could regulate the temperature this way to a very comfortable level and had a good sleep in my refrigerator. I went down to reception and worked until the last minute before checking out. I walked straight down to the port and bought my ticket for the ...
Yet another night in my refrigerator and I was fresh and ready for the day. I had to go to another terminal than yesterday as I would be going west today to see the Nacional Park Laguna de la Restinga and another beach, actually the most western point of the island of Margarita, Punta Arenas. ...
I woke up this morning because it was too cold. The air condition was old and did not have any regulation at all. It was either on or off. I decided for on and covered myself as best as the bed linen of the hotel room allowed. The air condition was blowing towards the bed ...
The whole night stayed at around 30 degrees and made it difficult to find sleep. I had to drive back to Chacopata and had to leave this beautiful desert behind. After an hour drive I arrived at the long term parking opposite the National Guard at Chacopata and I started to prepare my backpack for ...
After the second night at the delegacy I woke up and continued with my planned route and had to go back on the same road I had come. I had to pass the same three military controls only this time on a Sunday morning I passed them all. I was curious about the drive to ...
The night outside the delegacy was ok and neither light nor noise affected my sleep. I had more problems when I woke up after midnight and had to go to the toilet in the center of the city. The police were behind closed doors and nobody of the neighborhood was on the streets anymore. A ...
I had a lot of problems to sleep and it took until after midnight. I did not turn on the alarm but somehow the military police thought it was time for me to wake up. It was 05:00 in the morning and I had a 20 minute inspection of the whole car. You always get ...
I did not want to spend another day in paradise and went back to the crossroads to go this time the other direction to another beach, Playa Puy Puy. It was still very early in the morning and I had the whole beach and the bay for me. The pelicans gathered in one corner of ...
Silence, the greatest happiness on earth very often comes only through solitude into the heart / Ruhe, das höchste Glück auf Erden kommt sehr oft nur durch die Einsamkeit in das Herz / Silêncio, a maior felicidade no mundo muitas vezes só vem através de solidão no coração / Silencio, la mayor felicidad en el mundo muchas vezes ...
Finally was only for about three hours and I woke up, looked through the back window and saw a man standing in front of his house looking towards me and I realized that it was time to look for another place in order to avoid for him to wake up the whole neighborhood and start ...
I usually wake up when the sun starts to heat up the car and when the light really reaches the eyes and that is actually always 30 to 60 minutes after sunrise. I then try to hide under a shirt or a towel for another hour before I decide to start the daily activity. This ...
I was ready in the morning and waited outside the door of the immigration for them to confirm to me what I had inquired in the internet and, and it was true; six documents. I learned as well that there was actually a Brazilian traffic department in Pacaraima and the needed authorization document was a ...
Last night was the last night with air condition and more important without my baby Matilda again. We left for the airport at 21:30 for the flight at 23:30 to Manaus, Campinas and then in the morning back to Natal. One month without my baby Matilda and she had some new attitudes and some new behavior. ...
My goodness, don't you remember when you went first to school. You went to kindergarten. And in kindergarten, the idea was to push along so that you could get into first grade. And then push along so that you could get into second grade, third grade and so on, going up and up. And then you went to high ...
I was right about the parking and had another peaceful and quite night. There is always a small negative point about the parking location and here it was the lack of fresh air and consequently the heat, as the breeze was not sufficient. The air really cooled off only late after midnight and up to ...
I had scheduled the car for the inspection this morning and knew I would spend the whole day at the Volkswagen dealer. Not really much of an adventure but a necessary part of it. My only friend the car needed a break and a profound checkup. I had been using the car probably more than ...
Yesterday night I chose a different place to stay for the night. I did not want to call too much attention by staying in the same place. About half an hour after I parked a car stopped behind mine, flash lights towards me and a men talking towards me. I opened the door, got out ...
For the first time I left the car with air condition running for some hours during the night. I could not leave the windows open due to the heat and the mosquitos. It was nice cool for a change and after yesterday’s drive I was pretty tired and finally had some sleep. I woke up ...
I wanted to take it easy on the difficult part in front of me, the drive for 450 km on gravel road, not knowing the conditions and especially for me driving with a normal car. I wanted to drive just to the city of Linden and talk to local drivers to find out about the ...
Already yesterday afternoon I had a quick look of Georgetown and could not figure out what to think of this very unique city with a mixture quite new to me but with certain similarities with Jamaica. The first impression was definitely that this country and this city were not very wealthy or the government spends ...
The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Bimini, Bahamas. It was the last major work of fiction by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who ...
My worries would turn out to be intuition. I did not believe that further to the heat of 36 degrees, someone could actually sweat even more than the temperature makes you. I did. I had dressed up for this exciting, worrying and crucial day and went to the border and to the ferry in casual ...
My anxiety did not let me sleep well and I went back to resting. I decided to go back to the consulate to find out about the price of the ferry in order to withdraw enough money for gas, the ferry, fees and some drinks and some food for the day. The lady did a ...
What better time of the day then doing the sightseeing in the morning when the city is still asleep, except the sun that starts to heat up after about 08:00. The historic center is small and you can do the tour easily in a day. I went to Fort Zeelandia first, including museum about the ...
Everything was so peaceful that I had decided to sleep outside underneath one of the pavilions that were lined up at the beach. After almost three weeks without rain I woke up in the early morning hours by the noise of the thunder and the rain hitting the pavilion roof. The roof was safe and ...
