Christchurch

The day after I had sour legs, although we relaxed quite a bit on monday. The evening brought some Squash matches that made my legs hurt even more. What a holiday. We made some plans for the oncoming weeks, ranging from a West Coast Tour to some further hiking. Besides I was mainly enjoying my holidays and tried to catch up with some friends on mine which was not too successful so far.

Colombia Day 8-11: Ciudad Perdida

Image
The Lost City trek, what an amazing 4 days. As usual my preparations were so-so and I didn’t really know what to expect. But I’m so glad I’ve done this trip. With 510€ for 4 days it’s not the cheapest adventure. And the hike is definitely not an easy one. But all of it so worth it. But let’s start at the beginning.   It’s Tuesday morning and I’m at Santa Marta. My tour provider is about to pick me up, but I’m still waiting for my breakfast. The guy had said that the avocado mushroom sandwich can be ready in 15 minutes. Well, those 15 minutes are over. So I ask for a to go sandwich. Sure, no problem. I just have to wait another 10 minutes. At this point I’m 5 minutes late, which really doesn’t fit to my Germanness. Finally I get my sandwich, meet my driver and am on my way to the tour operator office. And by the way: mist of it went into the trash, as it was more a garlic sandwich then anything else… We pick up some other people and first I was afraid I would be with only Spanish sp...

Der Traumpfad München Venedig

A summary. That's what I've been promising everyone. Including myself, to come to a good answer for all the good questions everyone asks me: How was it? How do you feel? Are you proud? Would you do it again? These are tough questions, at least for me. Well, let's start with the facts of the trip, that's the easy part. I've walked from Munich to Venice. With some minor exceptions: - instead of starting in Munich I started in Bad Tölz. Saving 2 days, around 50km in the plain. I did this mainly because I never actually planned to do the full tour and I wanted to hike the mountains - I skipped 2,5 days of hiking in the Italian plains. Again, due to lack of time (my flight back home to my sisters birthday was booked) but also because it sucks to walk in the Italian heat next to roads and through industrial areas - three things on the way we had to skip: Birkarspitze, Friesenbergscharte and Schiara. All three were in theory possible (we know people who did them) but e...

Colombia Day 12-13: las Islas del Rosario

Image
  After a good nights sleep in my tiny hotel room I’m getting ready to go to my diving adventure. The meeting point is 15 minutes away from my hotel, so I decided to walk. After a couple of minutes I started to regret. I’m carrying 2 backpacks and a handbag and it’s already nearly 30 degrees at 7:30am. But it’s a beautiful way through the sleepy colonial style old city center of Cartagena. Arriving at the docks I’m so glad that I had transportation organized via my dive center. Due to the Easter weekend it’s absolute chaos at the pier. My meeting point is past the main area and I soon arrive. It was a warm welcome and after a short waiting time we all go on the boat to the island. I wanted to leave my big backpack, but my hotel would have charged 10€ for that and the dive center would be closed on my return. So all my luggage went on the boat. Luckily it went into the hold of the boat as it was quite windy and I got a bit soaked on the way. When leaving the harbor we got stopped by...
