Seid ihr alle gut ins neue Jahr gerutscht???!!!! Ich hoffe es doch und wünsche gleich nochmal: „FELIZ AÑO NUEVO“!!!
Bereits nach dem Jahr 2008 dachte ich, dass das neue Jahr 2009 das Vergangene nicht übertreffen können würde. Aber ich wurde mal wieder eines Besseren belehrt und durfte feststellen, dass es 2009 wirklich gut für mich gelaufen ist. Meine Ausbildung schreitet voran, ich habe viel Auslandserfahrung durch mein „semester abroad“ in Argentinien gesammelt, dabei noch Spanisch richtig gut erlernt, und mich einfach in eine komplett neue Mentalität Entertainment settled. In short, I learned a lot, my time damn well exploited and put me higher on my life-stairs a Stüfchen.
From 29 December I was 2 nights near Talca - south of Santiago. Since we have these days very much Organisational done for the ride, my bachelor thesis has allowed to enjoy a progress, while others have spent their time after the pool. "Pisco Sour"'s the national drink of Chile - a little similar to the taste of a Brazilian caipirinhas ... .. and had me on the 30th after work December evening for dinner and then, unfortunately, tasted a little too well.
For New Year's Eve we went on 31 December morning set off into the wilderness, and were, at least for one night once in a hut. electricity and the like, it was not there though, but at least a roof over their head. New Year's Eve so I have a campfire at a - how could it be otherwise - removed asado ... ... but the alcohol was a great help no more that night, and I was so tired that I was glad when I at a quarter after 12 could finally go to my high bed. Was a wonderful change of date!
The year 2010 has started for me again excellent - a real adventure! We are in a hole To start down Vilches called to our 5-day riding tour in the Andes. 4 people, 4 horses, two pack horses with Huaso (Chilean Gaucho) and his horse. Backpacks, sleeping bags, tents and food, etc tied to the horses, and we are on our "Porsche" is set and off we went. Max had already taken two times a riding tour in Chile, Steffi was a child once ridden and Tina and I had zero riding experience - that the best conditions for an exciting tour! Which is added that the trail we made also counted among the 50 greatest adventures in the world - but the details on the steep slopes, which we all lightly have come of it, I'm off then but a not!
The first day we were sitting right by 4 hours on the horse and I was once again very grateful for my Radlhose that I could put it under my normal trousers underneath a pillow ... so do not even hurt! On 1 January, so the evening we arrived at a lagoon in the National Park del Licay, our tents set up and once Pisco drank around the campfire. After a light supper - as it had already begun to dawn - we then put to sleep immediately. The second day, also the second day in 2010 (somehow humorous take on this way, a new year) should be a lot more strenuous. got up early, we spent the whole day on the road. The landscape has changed every few miles by 180 ° and was incredibly untouched and simply beautiful. Right through the Andes so we are then about 10 hours on the road until we had arrived in the crater of the volcano "Descabezado" (= the beheaded) and have pitched our tents in just this. Since we were already in the immediate volcanic area, we have also used the same opportunity to let us bathe in the hot spring ... .. it was like in an open spa. ... Just great! The third day gave us then first to a waterfall and then over some snow fields until after a lunch break, we also have pitched in a picturesque spot on a wonderful vantage point on the ridge behind some rocks our tents. The floor was like white pebbles that we felt we einzuquartieren midst of a litter box. Steffi and our Huaso named Pancho have been supplied with gas cookers, a small cooking duel, so we are at over 2000 meters in our camp then had the benefit of toasted garlic bread with caramelized onions and an excellent vegetable soup before we were allowed to witness a breathtaking sunset. Thanks again! On the fourth day we had a long distance through lava fields tend to be ridden down the valley and after a very exciting steep slate path once again landed in the countryside. After we fought through some areas of shrubs, we came out to a small stream next to the little meadow was a well-protected. There, of course we have set up our camp. While I had brought wood for the camp fire, the others have prepared our dinner. Steffi and Max have it quite early retired to their tents while Tina and I have questioned our Pancho about his typical Chilean life - Comments by Steffi from the tent behind us - as Max on the other side of the meadow began to snore already had - However, inclusive. Very funny! The fifth and final day was then finished packing up again, to ride back nurmehr 4 hours and re-organizing everything. Almost from the moment we arrived in Vilches, we were received in the kiosk with a "Casuela" (= "Chile's National Soup") and Pisco. Then we went to the bus station to buy ticket back to Talca in our previous accommodation, where I had stored my computer and my big backpack, because on the ride's only the bare minimum should be with. After several days of showers lick and finally once again long and hot, to pack the two bags with all my belongings, even a quick glass of wine with Tina, Steffi and Max sip, then another even faster NEN Farewell Pisco on Steffi's birthday and I was already picked up the taxi and taken to the bus station. Tina and Steffi, the night still remained in Talca, and then set off again the next day back to Buenos Aires. But my night bus drove from only 22:30 against, where I arrived at Epiphany in the morning in Osorno - thus still further south. Erika me then immediately picked up by the terminal and treated to a nice breakfast at her home. At noon we were invited by friends of hers to an asado, so I mainly speak German after 2 weeks again had to unpack my English. And now I am enjoying the luxury of own room and bathroom in her apartment in the city center for a few days to be allowed to live. After a week in some freezing cold with gloves and the like sleeping in a tent or a bus, I enjoy it now especially!
were Today Erika and I from a few volcanoes in the National Park Puyehue - right on the border with Argentina at the height of Bariloche - on a 6-hour walk ... ... and after a few days here in Osorno I break it further to the south ... .. yes you heard it from me ... .. then again next week with photos. ... with a review of the 6th Month - which I then, just six months away am .. unbelievable!
Until then, yours
