Can I Paint Over Poxy Primer

Far Side of the World ....

I ask many times to apologize ... I actually wanted me so much earlier report with a current entry, but the last almost 3 weeks have been just too stressful. I've put almost 15,000 km behind me, have an average of only 5 hours sleep per night, but on average 6 hours per Days worked and my bachelor thesis (after 2 concept changes) completely finished.
But well, you are on the state of Puerto Natales. There I am, therefore, on 12 January early morning set off around noon in El Calafate arrived, and the rest of the day in an internet cafe - as it should be otherwise - been sitting in my bachelor thesis. In the evening I took a bus then to El Chalten at the foot of the famous Mount Fitz Roy. 2 full days I have spent from morning to night in cafes, swallowed up vast amounts of chocolate cakes and worked for the Bachelor thesis. On the day on it was great weather and so I then a 22km hike (but with a few additional paths) taken me to the snow line has led to the Lago de los Tres, where I waited about 2 hours, was only the tip of Fitz Roy exception, not even hidden in the clouds. I've given up, and went back back, and THEN of course, were the clouds away ... but I'm high but then not again, but down over the village of Lake Capri. Really super! gone the next day in the morning back to El Calafate, I am made in the afternoon to the Perito Moreno Glacier (who is still growing!), there have still ne boat tour, and then I walked around a bit on the site. What has made this for a crash, even if only small chunks are fallen down! While I then had to wait for my bus back, I'm back sitting in a cafe on the PC ...! After a short bus ride back to El Calafate, I'm back to a cafe and sat down with my PC there until about 2 clock at night still working until the evening celebrations have made. By 3 clock at night is it anyway my bus to Rio Gallegos drove off, where I am in the morning switched and after a few strenuous passport control on entry and exit of Chile finally at the end of the world, at the gateway to Antarctica, the southernmost city in the world, namely the Argentina's Ushuaia arrived, which was then on Sunday evening, 17 January. If I do not grade my records have rolled in the bus, I sat down with a few top Austrians from near Braunau Ried talk that I've met there in the bus. Monday morning I'm between Cafe / PC and Museum, hurrying to and through the afternoon I was with the Austrians on more than 6 hours of Beagle Channel Schifferl tour. In fact, I'm on the ship but I only wanted ne outlet, working on my PC and when that was interesting - like the birds, sea lions and penguins on the little islands - I then went to the photo shoot. Once we stayed longer, I've seen, nothing seen me wonder ... ... and the waiter I wanted pennant that there are dolphins (which I on the crossing to the fire country seen from the ferry already have) would be. When I then saw nothing, I am just back down at my PC and kept going. The Austrians, however, after the boat tour tells you that there was a whale. ... And I knew that the "whale season" around the end of December to stop and that would be unlikely right to see a whale ... ... ... I've got a Wal indeed "seen", but unfortunately not in fact seen ! The five of us eat on the boat tour and then went fishing together on NEN nightcap in the Guinness Irish Pub. Tuesday in the morning she got me then picked up her car at the hostel, and we are in the National Park down, there have been about 8 km long hike and then have a late lunch in a "refugio" has returned. Later in the evening (it is light anyway until about 23h), we then again for dinner at a panoramic restaurant made next to my hostel and passed ... ... sometimes you get to know really nice people on the go!! The next day, ie Wednesday 20th January was really hard then. I set off for 6 hours by bus to Ushuaia, in Rio Grande had to change trains, then the border crossing to Chile, and at 21h I arrived in Punta Arenas. There, I have immediately with NEM can transfer to the airport and then I went up to 4 hours in the morning - when my plane then went off - even on my PC sitting in the waiting hall. On 21 January, I'm only then from Punta Arenas to Santiago, had to change there and then I went to the northern city of Chile's, just 10km from the border with Peru, landed. My hostel had organized NEN collection service, so I am then arrived around 12am at noon, and finally in the heat! Since Arica is a surfer's paradise, I could not let's take to take a surfing lesson. The teacher then as long tortured me with paddles until I actually caught ne 1-2m high waves, and on the board are long remained, I went up there on the beach. This success spurred'm feeling I have the rest of the day - how could it be otherwise - down at my PC. Since I got no bus ticket to Putre more, I'm on 22 January drove straight to La Paz, Bolivia. My taxi had to do on the way to the bus station but still nen small detour because Gustave Eiffel, who designed the famous Eiffel tower, a church in Arica has built about 10 years earlier ... ... ... but the rest I read it in my next blog, if I do that, later at the airport (I fly right after Lima, Peru).
you later,
la Verenita
