Another Photo Gallery You Didn't Wait For...



...but you might actually enjoy!


It's all about Love...


...kissing...


...floating together...


...more kissing...


...hugging...


...and - I guess - more kissing!


Check out the new Photo Gallery "Couples"! The first few couples I have met on my trip have made it to that brand new Gallery, many more to follow.

Enjoy!



Who's That Guy At The Wheel?


That and much more you can find out HERE!


Visit the newly up-dated MEET & GREET site on the blue truck blog and find out about huge 6x6 trucks, about snow white Dino's, how I almost became father of a future millionaire, what a RHD australian Bushcamper is doing in South America and travel on and on - on many overlander's blogs and webpages. 




And... there is more to come, so come back soon to the Who is Who on the Panamericana.  



Always Those Landings!


"O.k., gear's out... what's next?"


"...I think I can do that!"


"Or should I perhaps just touch and go?"


"No! I think I can handle this one - this time it'll work!"


"Boaaa, and now those trust reversers - and I'm almost done!"


"Here we go, getting parked exactly where ground control told me to..."


"Hey, I tell you landing is a piece of cake for a pilot like me" 

"But now check out those fellows: That's never gonna work - hehe!"


"Crosswinds, that's not gonna work..."


"...told you buddy, touch and go!"


"And you? Way too much speed! Gotta slow that Baby down, you gonna crash it!"



For Aviation Nuts only, those landings and much more about Aviation HERE!

Happy Landings!

For the Overlanders: One Sucre Campspot Gone Missing



Hello fellow Overlanders. Typically I like to share some good campspots here that you won't find already on everybody and their brother's websites. This time I want to spare you from knocking at a door where you expect to spend your night behind, and than getting send away. 

I have gotten the coordinates for this location from other blogs and it is also listed as a POI "Campground" on the current OSM database for Bolivia. The coordinates of three different sources plus OSM POI were matching, so I suppose I really knocked at the right, brown door. 

The campground information I had was: 
  • Alberto & Felicidad (no sign, look for brown door and knock)
  • Coordinates: S 19°02.580'   W 065°15.303'
I was there, knocked at the door, a young local gentlemen opened the  door, it was obviously where it used to be since the door opened to a mas o menos large grassy courtyard. He was obviously working on his car, he was friendly but did not know anything about camping nor about Alberto or Felicidad. I have questioned some other folks in the street that did not know anything about it but mentioned some Hostals that would allow camping. So depending on the size of your vehicle you might find a courtyard of a Hostal or Hotel where you can camp. I have also met travellers that could camp on the parking of the more or less high end Hotel Kolping above the City Center. Or just check into one of the many Hotels or Hostals that offer rooms at very moderate rates in Sucre (as I did).

Hope that helps. Enjoy Surce! - Happy Camping! 




Roof Racks And Trailers Are For Pussies


Just put that new, beautiful sofa on the roof and tie it down with two ropes...


...or load the rest of it in the trunk...




...or half of it on the roof the other half in the trunk...


...if it doesn't fit in your taxi drivers Toyota, get that load delivered.


That's what I call a softtop. 


New beds for the entire family.


Don't need a truck just load it on my bike.


Cuation, wide load. Housbuilder on the move in Peru.


I tell you, roof racks are for pussies.


Sales guy on the move, Mexico.


O.k., a roof rack is not... 


...all that bad.


But really there is no...


...need...


...for...


...a trailer.


Load it up buddy!


Wide load and...


....high...


...load and...


...overload.


A mobile kitchen on the way to the market.


School's out, Colombia.

Roof racks are o.k.  - just trash it up.
