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.
