No more text due to vacation :-)

We left Cusco in the late evening hours. Our first overnight bus trip was ahead. Although we didn't get much sleep, we arrived in Puno somewhat rested in the morning. Puno is a...

We noticed the altitude. It's really not to be underestimated. Headaches, shortness of breath, nosebleeds, and sore throat have been accompanying us since Bogota (2640 meters...

From the beginning, we had the idea of continuing from Africa to South America. During our last big trip in 2012, we had some experience with Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and...

We used the last few days to decide where to go in Africa. The plan was made and we knew that we could spend another two weeks in South Africa. The first few days were already...

We left Swakopmund and headed south through Walvis Bay before heading inland and into the desert. We crossed the barren Namib-Naukluft Park and arrived in Sesriem. Our campsite...

Sunday, January 20, 2019 We have arrived in Namibia. The border crossing was once again very easy and fast. Even though it was Sunday, we had to stop at a supermarket right...

Saturday, January 12, 2019 Since Friday evening, we have been in Victoria Falls and once again we had a few free days ahead of us. Yesterday evening, we took a short walk...

We set off again. Our time in Malawi was already over and another border crossing was on the agenda. It's noticeable that the landscape in Malawi is very dominated by agriculture....

A few days of 'vacation' from the trip were scheduled. We were very much looking forward to it. Once again, a real bed with pillows. At 7:00 a.m., our truck took us a few...

Mornings at 8:30, we were picked up and driven to the city to pick up our new travel companions. Not only are most of the fellow travelers new, but also the truck we will be...

From our camp base at Lake Bunyonyi, we had planned a day trip to neighboring Rwanda. Rwanda is a densely populated landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered by Burundi,...

Sunday, December 9 After meeting our travel companions (we are a group of 11 people) for the next few weeks the previous evening, we set off promptly at 9:30 am. Our truck...

And then, when the sea no longer reflects all the turquoise colors like a few hours before, when the sun is slowly approaching the horizon and the sea is slowly receding, they...

On Thursday before noon it was time to say goodbye to Severin and the team from Teddy's Home Hostel. In the traffic chaos of Dar es Salaam, we managed to make it to the port on...

Oft ist man bei Crowdfundings etwas skeptisch, erst recht, wenn das Geld nach Afrika fliessen soll. Deshalb haben wir uns aufgemacht und uns selber ein Bild vom Mulimuli-Projekt...

We almost didn't believe it anymore but it did work out in the end. A few days before our departure, we were able to sublet our apartment after all. So besides packing, we also...

We're almost there: we have comprehensive protection. Nothing can happen to us anymore. Come what may. Cats: Scratch us! Dogs: Bite us! Mosquitoes: Sting us!

Pretty much exactly seven years after our big trip, we are back at the same point. Wanderlust and the thirst for adventure have taken over. We are setting off again.
