heute also soll es losgehen. Das timing ist knapp. Ich soll zum halb 10 den hafenagenten teffen. Aber vorher möchte ich ein letztes uruguayisches frühstück haben und mich mit...

This morning I still had a breakfast companion. He comes from Texas and is traveling alone with his bicycle. He tells gruesome stories about the road conditions in Bolivia, but...

they do not sleep, the guardian angels, but they are wide awake. although they know that the home stable is not far away, their attention is not affected by it. already yesterday,...

Buenos Aires mit knapp 3 mio einwohnern, ist eine stadt, die mir auf anhieb gefällt - am besten gefällt von den großstädten, die ich in südamerika gesehen habe. das paris der...

I have 300 km ahead of me today. According to Google Maps, I can expect an average speed of 100 km/h. Of course, the Vespa cannot achieve that speed, but at least I know that...

Another nice farewell from my hosts. After packing my vespa, I go upstairs to take some photos of the artworks and notify them that the gate will be opened - only works with a...

14.02.: tailwind, bright blue sky, and the temperatures suggest that maybe I should put on something warmer. Today I am early and hope that the bakery is already open. I enjoy...

11.02. today it isn't far. It's just under 200 km to Porto Alegre. The weather god is good to me. Scattered clouds in the blue sky, temperatures are bearable again, breakfast is...

mit der route über nova prata habe ich die richtige entscheidung getroffen. ich kann immer besser nachvollziehen, warum es die europäer gerade in den süden brasiliens gezogen hat.

The Ferrari Hotel met my expectations. But I didn't expect such a breakfast. At this price range, I would have expected the quality of Blumenau. Infusions from past days. But no:...

02.01.: the hotel-senor opens the gate for me and waits to say goodbye with a boa viagem. I still see the gray-haired ponytail wearer waving at me and I honk as I pass by...

heute morgen ist die vepse noch im tiefschlaf, als ich sie starten will. Die batterie hört sich an, also ob sie keine kraft mehr hat, die vepse will nicht anspringen. Sehr...

18.12.: São Carlos, 24 degrees, cloudy!! A pleasant breeze comes through the open window. There are moments when only the bearable noises of the big city from below rise up...

The rain stayed with me all night. Even this morning, but its strength is decreasing. The night was a bit restless, and there's a reason for that: When I reviewed the route I took...

01/12: In just one week, I have now reached the third state.Brazil has 27 states, but I won't be passing through all of them. And I have crossed into the second time zone. Now,...
