Here in Lima I got my Galapagos underwater pictures developed oldstyle and got them all on CD. They are online now. Lots of Sealions and Sharks, although the Hammerhead Shark I saw, did not make it on the photos.

Arrived in Peru
Dear All,
I arrived in Peru two days earlier then planned. My stay on Galapagos was ´only´ 8 days cruise plus 5 days on the island. Galapagos is the second best place I have ever been to. ( Best place is still the Vulcano Eruption in Guatemala 2006 ).
No Photo can show how Galapagos is like. All my photos there are NOT taken with a big zoom, but you just walk up to the animals and take the picture you like. Choose all photo angles you want and the birds and sealions seem to enjoy that and smile right into your camera.
Today is the 23.11.2007 and I¨m in Mancora north Peru. Although I have never been to Bali, everybody says, it is like that. Little TukTuks drive along the street and the weather is hot hot hot.
I have 4 weeks to go to Santiago de Chile, because I have booked a flight on the 22.12.2007 from there to Rio de Janeiro.
After traveling for some weeks now, I have reduced the content of my backpack. I have given away 4-5 TShirts, 1 Sweatshirt, 1 Shorts and some smaller items. On checkin Frankfurt on day one, my backpack was 19 kilos. Now the weight is 16 kilos incl. the heavy jeans and jacket I was wearing on day one. Furthermore personally I lost 6 kilos of weight !
Thanks for all the birthday wishes I received by Email. I celebrated my birthday during the cruise and my fellow passengers gave me a TShirt ¨I love boobies¨ with a photo of the BlueFootBoobie.

Galapagos Islands Video
Dear All, this is just a short hello from Galapagos. Pictures will follow, but no photo can show, how it is like. Every animal is relaxed if humans come close. Sea lions seem to be in your way like cows in a small german village. To give you a small example i uploaded a small video More to come

Crossing the Equator
Dear Travellers and Human Beings at home,
I had a great time in Venezuela and I never expected so many german Posadas. The highest waterfall on earth, Piranja Fishing and Caribbean Beaches. 30 Degrees C day and night and water temperatures of 27 degrees C. The first time ever, I loved my aircondition !
I left Caracas on the 03rd and with one transfer-night in Lima I arrived Quito on the 04th.
On the 05th I visited the Equator Line and today i spend all day surfing the internet, uploading photos and visiting lots and lots of travel agents in town to find a good Galapagos Cruise. I was lucky and got a 8 day cruise for USD 1150 USD plus airfare of 380 USD and national park entrance of 100 USD. Lots of money but I had to do it. I¨m saving some money in staying in a really fantastic Hostal in Quito for 12 USD per night incl. breakfast in Internet. My Galapagos Trip will start on November 11th, that means I will stay in Quito one week. The cruise will be November 11th to 18th and I will remain on Galapagos Island until November 24th to do some scuba diving.
On November 24th I will fly back from Galapagos to Guayaquil and I will work my way south to Lima and Machu Picchu.
