When the sun goes down

Hola :)

At the moment I am writing during my boat trip through the caribean sea. We were having quite bad weather conditions and not moving really fast. Therefore the journeys between the Islands are bit longer and we have plenty of time on the sea.

My roadtrip through Panama to the haven of Portobelo to get to the catamaran we were taking was a cool adventure in the end. I needed to use public transportation and could see the other side of Panama outside of shiny Panama City. I needed one day of traveling 3 different buses to get to a simple but nice hostel in the evening.

Finally some more impressions

Buenas amigos,

It's been already more than a week that I am in Colombia and even more days since I have written some more than just the Instagram storys. Unfortunately I had no stable WiFi connection during all this time. ich

On the boat tour there was obviously no service at all :) and well due to an accident on sea the following days were a lot improvised until I finally arrived in Cartagena :) I enjoyed it much though.

The Hostel in Cartagena was great but the connection broke down from time to time thus uploading fotos was impossible, too.

Currently I am on a public bus from Tayrona Park back to the amazing Rio Hostel for another night before I start my next longer stay in Santa Marta for a diving course ...;) Spontaneously taken decisions always turn out to be a great experience! 

Hopefully in the diving hostel I have some more service and can start sharing Photos and storys again. 

 Well even though being completely offline is sometimes a great gift :)

Short foodporn ad ;) una patagonita con queso! Perfecto para llevar en el autobus collectivo y muy rico tambien :)

A Mexico de Panama

Buenos tardes mis amigos,

mi espanol es mas bien dia a dia :) hablo un poquito con mis uber gente en sus coche tambien. Vale….

Most likely the words make sense but I am messing up the time usage and sentence structure a lot ;) even though the drivers keep on telling me that my spanish is muy bien.

Currently I am in a plane from Mexico City to Panama City and finally have spare time to write some words, actually I have 4 hours and one hour of time change, thus it’s gone be a long text 😅😋

And finally I am listening to some music again while writing, remembering and looking out the window seeing beautiful mountains, clouds and the clear blue sky :) Actually I am excited and sad at the same time leaving Mexico again. I have found very nice people which are new friends already and enjoyed staying with them as well as discovering Mexico, I could have stayed with them the next months or beyond but as it is just the start of my own journey I needed to move on even though I haven’t seen a lot of this beautiful country. I will definetely come back again :)

I just decided for my self to at least write something to each picture I am putting here as it can only be 10 at a time anyway.

But where to start now…I guess with my last picture ;) I took a ballon tour over the ruins of teotihuacan near to Mexico City. I had to get up really early which was due to the jetlag no issue until the evening 😂

But it was all worth for as the view was amazing, including the ballon itself, my companion from Colombia and the nice guides. By now it is the best experience I made during this trip.

Before doing the ruins ballon tour I decided to take another offer of the free walking tour company including a mezcal tasting (very strong alcohol from the algarve and national drink, not the same as tequila though) and lucha libre. Well after the fifth combination of roasted grashoppers, nachos, spicy lemons, guacamole and mezcal I didn’t got the different tastes anymore 🤣

That was the perfect preparation for the lucha libre en el estadio de mexico. :) Lucha libre is the national sport and it is kind of enhanced superhero wrestling show. We had a lot of fun shouting, booing and laughing. In the last match (actually championship) el terrible one of the bad heros won against all odds 😃

On Tuesday I took an uber to the Museo Nacional de Antropologia. It’s a huge museum about the mexican history from early pueblas to the Aztec and spanish invadors. I took a free tour there and by far could not see all rooms in it. And I stayed there four hours. After that I discovered the huge park around the museum including the history museum in the castle on top with a beautiful view.

In the evening we met all together at the zocalo for dinner and the concert taking place the whole week for las dias de muerte.

Finally yesterday we went to the Frida Kahlo house, at first sight I was sceptical as I am not that into Art, but it was definetely worth it to get to know about the life and living of this amazing woman.

After the museum we discovered one Veedel of Mexico City looking for lunch which is called Coyoacan a cool mix of Ehrenfeld and Kreuzberg ;). There was a huge market we found by accident and the tostadas were delicious 😍😆 the whole Market was incredible and I liked the streetfood, aguas, fruits and sweets a lot.

Finally and obviously the mexican take the Halloween/dias del muerte very serious collecting money and sweets with wonderful costumes, we had a nice last evening though.

Now I heading to Panama and as soon as I am arriving need to make sure to cancel the random flight from Panama to San Jose as I needed a flight out of the country to first get in 😂

Eventually my next entry will need some time as I will write it during the boat journey to Colombia….but lets see what the future comes along with

Last but not least some music again as I just recognized now listening to various new and old songs that I missed it the last days , as I was going from one event to the other 😎

And that is an all time classic newly interpreted and covered...I Love it! :)

There's something happening somewhere

baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire

you can't start a fire without a spark

This gun's for hire

even if we're just dancing in the dark

First full day in Mexico City :)

Hi out there 😜

I finally arrived at my hostel again which is by the way not that bad as I thought it is :)

I am really tired due to jetlag and the full packed day, just came back from a nice bar with new Friends and some grilled grashoppers 🙈😅... I made a free walking tour which was worth it like always ( already planned the next trip tomorrow)

After that I bought some stuff had a cool lunch and went to the huge dias de las muertes parade which is completely new tourist attraction started after the James Bond movie (no joke at all ;) ) but was very cool after all and finally ended up with some mezcal, Beer and tons of grashoppers :)

I will only upload some fotos now 😴

Hey ho…let’s go 😃

And that is how the story starts, my first travel book entry early that day I started in cologne. I made a picture for the evidence and attached it below :)

My last days were accompanied by up and down of feelings, on the one hand curious and eager to start, on the other hand frightened and always having in mind that I have forgotten something…(which in the end turned out to be true as I have left my small travel bag after mi finalmente clases de espanol in a cafe on the other side of town) 😂🙈

Vale, due to that circumstances I could say good bye to that beautiful city at the river :) and most likely I have forgotten something else as well…just to set expectations at this point

Right now I am in the train crossing the border to the netherlands towards amsterdam airport. I am already checked in, know that I have to be caution taking the right taxi in Mexico and 95% sure that I do not need a visa ….otherwise my next entry will start with …how I had to fight with the mexican boarder control 😅

Most recently I got a very nice present with a poem. I read it now once again starting my adventure and I like it a lot even though in school I hated to interprete such stuff. :)

Now I interprete it perfectly fitting to my journey and share it with you in a shortened way including only the first and the last part which in my eyes are the essentiell once 😉😃

Thats how this first entry ends …

The Road Not Taken 

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

…

…

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
