More than 1000 US Dollar I had to pay to send this wooden box with the 3 tandem bikes back home. Not only this incredible sum of money but also about ten really sucking days organising all the stamps and stuff – and everybody wanted his or her 5 Dollars: the police in order to reconfirm that my visa were alright, the notary, that it was me that firmed the packing list etc. etc. A nightmare in Guayaquil.

I had to come home first to see the dvd that the channel sent in the meanwhile

If you want to help the  Ecuador and Costa-Rica-based NGO  “El Cielo para los Niños” you can send used glasses, hearing devices, and theoretically anthing else that can easily be sent to Costa Rica by post services. I got to know this NGO very well, staying ten days with them – they helped me a lot sending my stuff back home.  Their office also need urgent hardware help: up to three PC towers could be needed. Just contact me for further details.

If you translate the below article of “El Telegrafo” you would think, everything is going well. In fact the mentioned deaf people who fortify in their own word how important our work is and what everything can be achieved were not showing up the day we wanted to leave. That’s why the Vamonos en Señas project died yesterday.

As the date of the retransport of the bicycle plus gear comes closer and closer and the prices get worse and worse (currently at more than 1000 Euro) I installed the possibility to donate online via Paypal:

There were some more articles like this one. Made by journalists which, for any strange reason dint want to take my professional photos. And which sometimes also wrote quite a lot of rubbish, even though all were briefed by an Email, telling all the acts and facts.

After a longer time out (in Peru) we´re on the road again: with a complete new team, consisting of the Ecuadorian sign language interpreter Jacqueline Velez Lajones and the deaf “Esmeraldeño” Victor Ramirez Lamilla. The next two weeks we will make the along the coast to Guayaquil.

Long time no see – writing the captions in five languages simply is really bloody and time consuming job. That´s why the world had to wait almost two months (-;

After the last post there was one anonymous person donating money (thanks!) – that means my private bank account remained with the mentioned depths.  So I simply can´t study on in 2010 s I planned to.

As thanks to different reasons there won´t be a re-transport of the whole gear by container ship travel it seems that I have to send it by sea freight. This procedure (without me handling my stuff) produces so much paperwork, that I have to pay 900 Dollars for three tandem bicycles plus bags. 200 KG. Ridiculous.

Here we give certain and very specific advices regarding local information on costs and schedules of buses, ferries, etc.

This section is rather interesting for people who are traveling as well.

• The only absolutely restricted hike to Machu Picchu is the “Classical Inka Trail”. The other three, four possibilities of approaching the ruin of Machu Picchu (from now on: MP) slowly and on your own force are free to be done on your own account. The only problem might be the day ticket to the ruin of MP: it can be obtained exclusively in a certain institute in Cusco with many days of anticipation.

Malaria prophylaxis

For the case you decide to take pills on a prophylactic base (which nowadays seemingly the majority of gringos don’t do any more): MALARONE or say its ingredients are absolutely unavailable in whole Bolivia and Peru. Brazil: no idea. But probably neither. So get it in Europe..
