Braided Leather Bracelet Disney Land

Einmal um die Welt, ohne Schlaf

Well, when you roll already in tears? Why you ask? Well, because this will be my last personal journal of the adventure Australia. Too bad, but for me the trip over. I have anyway, even if only a few Stunden Aufenthalt in dem Land waren, nochmal viel erlebt.

Alles begann mit dem frühen Aufstehen des Tages vor der Abreise. Zu aller erst zog ich mir die Sportschuhe an und joggte durch Australiens größte Stadt, besichtigte zum letzten Mal den botanischen Garten, die Oper und sah die Harbourbridge. Dann machte ich mir Nudeln mit Bolognesesauce und schwang mich in die Bahn, um David und Maria zu besuchen. Für 8,60$ fuhr ich von der „Kings-Cross“-Station los und stieg dann in den 333er Bus. David rief mich nochmal an und wir einigten uns auf den Treffpunkt vor der Eisbahn. Ja, ihr habt richtig gehört. Direkt am Bondi Beach kann man für 25$ Schlittschuh . Go Anyway, we met three of us against 13 clock and made us a really nice day. First of all, was drunk at the beach promenade, a caramel milkshake paid, was from the ex-workers. Thanks again. ;)

Then it went into the booth of the two. They have rented www.gumtree.com directly for $ 700 an apartment for eleven days at Bondi Beach. It's nice roomy for Australian conditions, but that the previous tenant has not even washed off, and now begins to mold his food, is evidence of a hard-nosed landlord trick to make from the "shit" tried money. Well, so are the Aussies. Next, we went into the water. Surf coach David lent me his wetsuit time ado for the upper body that I did not have to freeze quite so. While Maria on the beach a little read, he showed me the basics and then we went and really got going. Surfing you really can not compare with a snowboard or skate board riding. It's just something very own, Difficult! Coming to the first day with the surfboard from the water and not to be depressed, is almost impossible, because one has the feeling of being a real Körperspasti who can simply not a sport, and his movements are not under control. That I will not immediately ride the waves, I did. But at least I had me lying von den Wellen einige Meter tragen, probierte das ein ums andere Mal, auf dem Board zu stehen, ehe ich nach etwa 35 Minuten im Wasser das Board so auf den Schädel bekam, dass es David, der 5m entfernt stand, rumsen hörte und eine Beule mich noch immer an den tragischen Unfall erinnern lässt. Aber: Surfen ist echt crass. Schade, dass man in Deutschland sowas nicht machen kann, sonst könnte ich mich dafür schon begeistern.

Später ging es zurück in das Apartment, wo wir bei selbstgemachtem Chili con Carne und einem Bierchen unsere Erlebnisse austauschten. Am Abend fuhr ich dann mit meinem Ticket zurück, machte noch eine nette Bekanntschaft mit einer Schwedin und verbrachte bis Mitternacht die Zeit vorm TV des Hostels. Felix, der Reisnende, und ich wiesen noch ein Frischfleisch ein. Eine Deutsche ist am 26.7. in das Hostel eingecheckt und wir gaben ihr fürs Überleben in Downunder hoffentlich ein paar hilfreiche Tipps mit auf den Weg. Als ich mich dann ins Bettchen begeben und die Tasche für den Abflug packen wollte, stellte ich fest, dass das schöne Vier-Mann-Zimmer außer mir noch jemanden einquartieren sollte. Ein Mitte 40jähriger Deutscher, der vor über dreißig Jahren ausgewandert ist, kaum noch seine Heimatsprache sprechen konnte und auf Drogen zu sein schien, stellte mein neuer Zimmergenosse dar. Er war einfach nur verrückt. Als ich das Zimmer betrat, war sein Bett completely shifted and smashed the window. I only saw him as he tried to sharpen his pencil with a knife. Around midnight he went outside and I go to bed. But he came back. About three clock he took his blanket from the room and took her more than that out of bed him. By morning, he spent the rest of the time in the TV room and was followed by the man at the reception when he attempted a cut at him kicked out.

I packed up the rest, went to shower again afloat, and then it went really got going. 10:40 clock, the shuttle was ready for transport. Sydney was abandoned, Melbourne reached (I on the plane a whole four-seat row to myself). I checked in Melborne to Dubai and then sat on the plane next to Aaron, a Briton, who looked like Ron Weasley and his girlfriend visited in Auckland. Amazing was that I was sitting around sixteen hours on the court (no toilet habits as well as side walks). Instead, Avatar was seen, Two and a Half Men, Simpsons, played poker, blackjack and maybe slept for an hour. The flight from Dubai to Frankfurt was really good. I sat next to a Malaysian and zaps through the entertainment. When withdrawing from the desert state I have not seen the city with the world's largest building and aircraft perspective the artificial islands of Dubai perceived. Oh by the way: In Dubai, half past five in the morning clock was already 34 ° C.

Now I'm in need ICE to Berlin, soon to sleep and a shower. Germany, I'm back.

way, I would like to thank all the helpful readers and for all previously made comments on your part. Rick, make anything stupid, at least not great and still enjoy the time.

the last time you reported for Flo, from Germany (now in Braunschweig, Germany), 28.07.2010, 15:55 clock time. Thank you. PS: We have received with the page just under 33 € advertising revenue from Google Adsense. Also thank you for it. Cheers.

Stromzähler

Today we have a new half-way "smart" electricity meters.
This is a counter that allows to read the current fuel consumption directly. But you can not manually switch between the modes "instantaneous consumption" and "Total kWh" - annoying little ...

It is fortunately not equipped with interfaces for remote control by N-Ergie.


could theoretically change the current so we now offer ...

How To Turn On Cheats In Gpsphone

Luke lockt - Robert rollt roten Teppich aus

N a well, the red carpet will not be there, but it sounded so beautiful. After Luke on demand informed me that he is currently two hot mega (te) Girls from Germany has, I wanted to give up my search for a new bed for tomorrow, but eventually it should only need to be - four of them, in Luke's apartment. So I wrote to many coffee Hoster, whether in the short term, what kind of me, but when
first said to Robert, I sant a long time ago a demand. Robert, 49, lives with girlfriend completely in the far west of Sydney. Thus, I leave tomorrow than an hour train. It looks like the typsche Kneipengaenger who plays darts. Does he really namely tomorrow too - maybe with me. Times to insert a picture, I take from his Couchsurfing.org so wissda know. It hosts most persistent couch surfers, many many references, all full of praise. As you take but rather the rustic, is to make the best BBQ, instead of two German. Luke and I both confirmed but again, that we take time to do some beer and / or I live with him again.

highlight of the day, next to couch search, spend money. 23:04 dollars at Woolworth's, for 1.5 kg Rump Steak, 1kg five onions, bananas, three potatoes and the usual Toast. Made in three hours (leaving the house to shop for washing up) a delicious meal, which left my stomach are thicker and brought me sweat. eighth at the same time, meat, potatoes and onions ... oh man. Well-seasoned with all the kitchen blazes were plastered schonmal 750g. For dessert: a self-creation. Heat the oil in bananas, add sugar and water, at the end of season with cinnamon. Proud of myself! Tonight James and Kristine are allowed to give their opinion. Tomorrow I will hopefully make the rest before it then goes to the station early this morning. After a week live here, I have to pack up all the stuff first, because in my own room, it looks at home in my Room. I fear that I must travel by bus again tomorrow, although the internet it does not say. So Break a leg, in a nice acquaintanceship with Robert and his girlfriend.

Skull Session For Baseball

This is the life

B an my date, at the couple, where I have own room and bathroom, I feel very comfortable. Tomorrow, Tuesday, I will leave but eventually I was then a whole week here. My longest service in hosting a coffee date. Unfortunately, I hardly see my host and for the first time, I would say I'm the one who maybe would like to do more together. Although all three of us Friday, Saturday and Sunday did not work, we found ourselves in these difficult days. I was a Saturday out of the house, and Kristine and James were the other two days. But I will not complain, yes. We get along very well, make some jokes and eat sweets together, at least in the evening. The day I was Newtown (borough) to discover the huge King Street, where there are massive shops that sell all that stuff. I was in Fahrradlaeden as described Buchlaeden and in the park even if I have in house nearly 24 hours a day Internet access, the refrigerator is opened for me and I may use a washing machine and newspaper (Have ironed by the way yesterday for the first time in my life ), but one wants to spend at least few hours in the fresh air: D.

Saturday. 14 clock meeting place near Harbour Bridge, with Flo, and Sydney and Phil from the federal government. Wanted to take the train, the station is locked. One could take the bus. But who goes for even bus? : D. So I ran almost exactly (beautiful) two hours (sometimes think 12 kilometers) to the meeting point and was, despite a slight delay of the first: D. Before I put myself in a German restaurant before the new Kuechenhilfe or waiter, but you must seek someone who has experience of two years and can carry four plates on one arm. With Syd and Phil Australia reports were exchanged, the two have really experienced a lot and been through. Then it was, like Flo, described to the hostel for dinner. And to be a little more detail as Flo, I can remind me of my supper. Two cans baked beans (of course only made the hot content), and 12 toast sandwiches. The show at the Opera House was just a dance performance, but also from our point of view, even for dance enthusiasts should not have been interesting. No action, no sync, dance steps and a little difficult (for us: first) end after 60 minutes. We had no words, if it were the words ...- Sch ... how nice.

A short story is well worth my return. I wish the train drive back and run from the nearest train station to home (25 minutes). But eventually I had to change into a bus and it was clear that my station die Dritte sein solle. Jedoch fuhren und fuhren wir und ich hatte keinen Pan wo wir sind - war ja auch dunkel. Also stieg ich einfach bei der zweiten Station aus und bemerkte bald, dass ich schon viel zu weit gefahren bin. Also Musik an und Fussmarsch fortsetzen. Einfach eine Richtung eingeschlagen und nach 68 Minuten fand ich mein zu Hause, auch wenn ich keine Lust hatte an diesem Tag, um Mitternacht, noch rumzulaufen, ohne zu wissen, ob man die richtige Richtung eingeschlagen hatte. Aber Ente gut, alles gut. Geschaetzte 22 Kilometer am Samstag zu Fuss. Und es war ein teurer Tag, circa 8,70 Dollar (ohne vorher bezahlte Opera Tickets). Mit meinem, vor 19 Tagen gesteckten, Ziel 10 Dollar am Tag auszugeben, kann ich derzeit in Sauss und Brauss leben. Genauer gesagt, I gave out an average of only three dollars per day. Of course, due to coffee host, but also due to my frugality (foot rather than bus: cheap food, no Auswaertsessen, no coffee for one U.S. dollars ,...). Nevertheless, I let myself by Flo still give some money, so now I'm running around with some cash, but can afford it, now more than ever, a flight to New Zealand, or a new camera. Let's see how the days go on in this regard.

I said, I will take off here tomorrow. But I still have no shelter. Actually, since ancient days to clear, but now called off by Kasha. She is now ill and can not host me, maybe the later days time. Luege whether or not then the business. Am no better. I hope now to Luke that he welcomes me, he should already be occupied, so his bed, then starts either the next adventure, or I ask Kris and James, if I still can stay two days.
currently held in Sydney, "the big football event" took place. Four teams (Blackburn, Glazkov Rangers, AEK Athens and Sydney) play a preparatory tournament. For almost 33 dollars I could go to the stadium Wednesday or Saturday and I look at both games. Perhaps it is done, although I expect absolutely no good football. But I habs yes.
Note: Luke currently has two German girls with him, but if I find nothing, I could still come and either For the girls, or sleep in bed with Luke ... Here comes
containing our longtime friendship to light that one zusammenhaelt also in need.

Must Hernia Hurt On Touch

I would like to have a coffee for fifty dollars

What was that for only a flop? How can you spend $ 49 for such an idea? How can the entire room be filled? Do the actors for a pride at all? And above all, how can our sitting on the adjacent place a spectator of the musical "Of Earth And Sky" at the Sydney Opera House fascinated by the performance? My opinion: The only good thing about the piece was that it was after sixty minutes already gone. I can be made by me as Kulturbanause insult, but I really would have rather taken a coffee for $ 50, even a still water, had I known what to expect. Without action, without vocals, and above all without meaning moving in sync, the fifteen actors just so rudimentary, and brought with her movements over a homosexual style. Have shown what can reasonably athletic teenagers better. The music, which ran in the background, was a horror to the stage design and simple than the hostel facility where I am. Here you can see how much Rick and I have enjoyed the musical ...

Fast forward another two steps back. It all began with the Thursday evening. This was made quite spectacular. Felix, Andy, two German Hostelmitbwohner, and I sat with a VB beer on the roof and chatted about everything under the sun. Felix is a character worth mentioning: At sixteen, he began to travel. First, Europe has been uncertain, and for nineteen months Australia. Next week the 25 year old flying with his Finnish girlfriend to New Zealand to live there for two years. Not bad if you ask me. Andy is 22 and was already in America. So much for that. Around midnight, we finished the session and I walked into my room C1. Again I had another roommate. This time, the two English women elected to the Australian Backpackers "to stay. Although I would have thought I would be housed in a men-only room, but the front desk told me it would all be "mixed dorms", that is gender-neutral rooms. One Spaniard is a typical face-to-child penalty and the other has to the question "How long you stay still in Australia?" With "We come from Brisbane." Respond.

Next morning after breakfast and the last major purchase before I left, I decided to begin the day in sports. I jogged up to the Opera House, however, had problems with his right shoe and pulled both from a short hand to bare feet to climb the steps. Does anyone of you to the beach in Lloret de Mar? A beach with a pin large stones, which represents the first walk a wonderful foot massage, everyone else is just painful and unpleasant for the foot. So it was with me the steps to the top. The first three times were very pleasant, after the training I had, however, a large tablespoon blood blister. That's the way it goes.

was the afternoon with Andy went to the student Jenni to look at his stall at Bondi Beach and the mega-high waves to ride. In fact, it was more difficult than expected to pave their way out of the water for saving the country. After returning to Woollomoolloo, the district in which located my hostel, is Andy and I went to eat something and then went to McDonalds at Kings Cross and skypten with relatives and saw the homeless as to how they behaved. The one sitting across the table from me was sleeping and the other next to him seemed not much mitzukriegen and the third in the league snorted several times in his palm. So that is Kings Cross.

It was Saturday, the day of the opera. With sleep was nothing, because the Spaniards are always seven to clock. Beautiful ist das nicht, denn wenn die sich unterhalten verstehe ich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes nur spanisch. Und das in der Früh ist weniger schick. Nach dem Mittag traf ich mich dann mit Rick, Syd und Phil, zwei Bundfreunde von Rickyboy, machten uns bis 17 Uhr einen schönen Tag und tauschten Erlebnisberichte aus. Im Anschluss ging es für Rick und mich ins Hostel, um knapp eine Flasche Wein zu trinken und zu Abend zu essen (Es war ein mehr als reichliches Mahl.). Schließlich gingen wir mit großen Erwartungen kurz vor 19 Uhr zur Oper. Die totale Enttäuschung kam und wir trennten uns nach dem Desaster gegen 22:20 Uhr für immer, auf nimmer wiedersehen! (Rick, das Abenteuer Australien hat echt Spaß gemacht, pass auf dich auf!)

was Today I turn time raised by 7 clock on English way and went below to the pool hall, put my tracks, strolled back to the hostel, made lunch and went to the debate on the way to the Rocks " . Today there was held an international flavor and Kaffeetag. Was really nice. Everywhere there was something for nothing. What is present tonight, I'll have a look. Anyway, I've already bought my ticket to the airport. On Tuesday morning I begin the return journey. 10:50 clock runs my Airport Shuttle, 15:15 clock goes my plane to Melbourne and 21:30 clock from there to Frankfurt. On Wednesday evening between 21 und 22 clock I'm back in the hometown.

Morgen treffe ich mich noch mit David und Maria, die momentan ein Haus am Boni Beach hüten. Vielleicht geht es sogar Surfen. Mal schauen.

Bis bald, der Demnächst-Heimkehrer Flo, 25.07., 17:15 Uhr Ortszeit.

Birthday Clip Art16th Birthday

Farewell

Die Sonne haben wir in diesem Land bereits das letzte Mal gesehen, denn jeden Abend pünktlich 18:45 Uhr gehen hier die Lichter aus. Die Dämmerung dauert keine halbe Stunde und wenn man außerhalb elektrisch beleuchteter Ortschaften unterwegs ist und keine Lampe am Start hat, sollte man schleunigst die heimische Butze aufsuchen.

Selbiges tun wir in weniger als 3 Stunden im globalen Sinne, denn dann geht es für uns auf die lange Heimreise. Heute nachmittag again we had time with the kids from NEST, which are, moreover, between 3 months and 17 years old, how should I correct here. At the end of the afternoon it was against her expectations, but a small farewell party for and with us. We had recently backpacks, orange, papaya and pineapple (which is the majority?) Bought, carved into pieces and dished and came back as the children of their playground time outside of the site, waiting for her, finally, a somewhat more extensive "snack", a small adoption, to lots of good wishes for us and as many farewell songs. It was sweet!

the morning we had to Seven thing ropes used and on the floor beneath our seats, therefore, be adventurous some sleep tied packets, which carry our or Susie's name that we gave away the embarrassing baggage volume difference (allowed up to 40 kg per person) reduced positive. Now we have to get the stuff just kind of balanced to Munich ...


for a final summary of our trip is here certainly too early, but are behind us now three beautiful weeks with some high points and low points, the here were named for the most part.

Thank you for all sympathy, all feedback, comments, Messages, SMS and other vital signs, which are of different people and sometimes ended up surprising me. Many thanks to all those who this safari store (s) have made and supported and who have supported my path in several ways. Nice if I you in this way a bit on mine, could take on our trip. Even better, if we meet again soon somewhere live and in color. Browse tell a few cubic feet of souvenirs, some previously unpublished stories, or just nice to be together ... that would be something.


If all goes well marked, about here 22.45 clock time a taxi driver named Peter on, who will then bring about 1-hour route to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport. From there we will fly to the amusing little time, namely 2:50 clock time with Turkish Airlines with 608 Flugnumme RTK throughout the night and tomorrow afternoon for Istanbul to Munich. If I'm writing ... not everything has gone well, ok?

Godblessyoutooooo!

How Many Calories Does Sauna Suit

functional heating started

page is now heated ...
is in the basement now a floor heater that controls the floor for several days to bring the maximum working temperature and then cooled again.

Let's see how much electricity we need for this ...

Update: Unbelievable ... 250 kWh per day, within 10 days, we come here on our last year's current annual consumption.
The basic rate of N-Ergie currently costs about 25ct per kWh ...
With a
kWh can be according to Wikipedia by the way:
  • work 50 hours a laptop watching TV (at a power of 20 watts)
  • seven hours (at a power of 142 watts)
  • five hours at the computer work (at a power of about 200 watts)
  • vacuum 25 minutes (at a power of 2400 watts)

  • A Heat the bucket of water (10.75 liters) under normal pressure at 20 ° C to 100 ° C

Exterior Home Half Brick

Fully wait beside the trail

Limu-rest, so this place could just as hot here.

are Finally we arrived back so far in Susi's nice domicile of each shot and road traffic and a bit damp and cold in the middle-lousy Cold. However, I am happy after our long journey to finally be here, because as before is my cute little infection have still not come across. I make today another day of blue on Susi's sofa, while Samuel and Susie again towards Nairobi travel.

I last wrote from the roof terrace of the backpacker hotels in Arusha, where you not only a wonderful view of Mount Meru (see the fifth-highest mountain in Africa) could enjoy, but also to the constantly mutating transport hub just outside the front door, hear the latter more-than-visible. You probably need a moment to recognize from the image on the right, now is whether left or right movement in Arusha. The question whether to give the hundreds of Dalla Dalla-drivers a clear answer to this question wöllten.

Well, my power of being old Arusha-day was, in essence, to organize for both of us bus tickets and that still herunterzuhandeln by a whopping $ 4, so we now unfortunately still a lot of Tanzanian shillings spare. In any case, was included in the service pick up from the hotel, which was very gratifying, especially since I was already a bit by the wind.

After a nice morning breakfast on the previously described roof terrace, which for me out of chamomile tea, chamomile tea und Kamillentee bestand, begaben wir uns zu vereinbartem Zeitpunkt ins Foyer unserer Unterkunft. Tatsächlich parkte fast pünktlich ein Fahrzeug vor der Tür und ein Aufkleber des Reiseunternehmens „Riverside“ verriet uns, dass wir die abzuholenden Kunden wären.

Tatsache, die Reise fing ganz nett an: Wir wurden abgeholt in einem geräumigem 6-Sitzer-Bus und einen kleinen Moment hatten wir tatsächlich davon geträumt, in diesem überaus gemnütlichen Gefährt Nairobi zu erreichen. Nach einer anfänglichen, schwer nachzuvollziehenden Stadtrundfahrt, bei der wider Erwarten keine weiteren Reisegäste eingeladen wurden, trafen wir jedoch kurz vor 8 auf einem kleinen privaten Busplatz ein, wo but then we switch to a larger shuttle bus should. Said and done, the luggage strapped to the roof and us in the remaining booths crushed: On we went to Nairobi!

the beginning of the trip, I still thought the initial moguls ought to lead us at some point on the highway to Nairobi, but rather the opposite was the case. Gradually, I realized that we were constantly in the middle at a construction site. Apparently, both Kenyans and Tanzanian leaders were aware that those links between Arusha and Nairobi was probably quite important, so that these must be removed. Unfortunate result of that consideration: about 400 km lange Strecke wurde auf ganzer Länge gleichzeitig gesperrt und saniert! So kam es, dass wir uns mit Ausnahme von wenigen Kilometern immerzu mal rechts mal links der künftigen Straße auf Sturzackern jenseits jeden Begriffs vorwärtsbewegten. Es rumpelte und schüttelte, es war unglaublich. Unmengen von Staub wurden aufgewirbelt, eingeatmet und wieder ausgehustet. Es war wirklich zum Heulen.

An der Grenze schließlich stapften wir die etwa 50 Meter Nowhere-Land (zwischen den Grenzpfosten) zu Fuß durch ca. 10 Zentimeter tiefen allerfeinsten rotbraunen Staub.

Ganz anders beeindruckend war indess der absolut abrupte Wechsel der Landschaft außerhalb des Busses. Von einem Moment auf den Second, we found ourselves in a dust-dry desert again, where you should keep all life in times of drought These kinds of impossible.

Still shuffling at longer intervals individual groups of striking red-blue-plaid-clad Maasai across this desolate and yet somehow fascinating desert dust, usually a small herd of cows are driven before.

All in all, this bus ride was still a significant imposition. If one keeps in mind that this track is just as much as the already described Mombasa, Dar-es-Salaam route to the north-south axis and east Africa, the quality of the road itself für gut trainierte Achterbahnfahrer haaresträubend.

Hinzu kam, dass uns nach ca. 5 Stunden, also der angesagten Reisedauer die Trinkwasservorräte ausgingen, die wir ehrlich gesagt für diese Reise auch nie besessen hatten. Ein kurzer Stopp an der Grenze gegen 11 Uhr war die letzte Pause, bei der wir unsere menschlichen Bedürfnisse befriedigen konnten. Und bis gegen 16 Uhr sollte unsere Reise noch dauern. Gut, dass ich das da noch nicht wusste. Ich wäre wohl kollabiert.

Völlig ausgetrocknet war ich, als wir kurz vor 16 Uhr in Nairobi endlich anhielten und so schleppte ich mich mit letzter Kraft noch vor dem Abladen des Gepäcks in irgendein Restaurant, um mir erstmal einen halben to pour gallons of water in the stomach. Phew, what had been for a tour!

I was really all. As a small downside, we made ourselves a taxi to Limuru, which is about three quarters of an hour's drive outside of Nairobi. After all, the small but normal marathon negotiations with the taxi driver I had accomplished, so we finally for 1700 Kenyan Shillings, just under 17 euros landed back here at the nest.

Our first route took us instantly into the "Children's Home" where we ran a large group of children also coincide with high-speed, no brakes in the stomach. Well at least that pain could laugh at himself: o) It was nice to be back. The kids know our names yet (a few of the kids I did too) and we were once again very warm welcome.

do today, as I said, I pause and an appropriate antibiotic called ciprofloxacin hydrochloride from Susi distributes's medicine chest to my stomach Carnival slowly but surely: Fortunately, Susie's family doctor in matters of preventive equipment with antibiotics more generous than mine.

So we stay now a good two days here in the nest. Tomorrow I'll probably mix with the crowd and again on Saturday ... so we'll see probably the best on Saturday.

Sun greets from Limuru a second time to thank your Philip, together with the absence shiny Samuel

What Color To Paint My House If Im Trying To Sell

Violent stomach rumbling

my stay in Leguruki has soured slightly. But from the beginning:

On Sunday departure was announced in Moshi. After Godi farewell to Clive and Bodil for an indefinite period. How long? Maybe 2 years? Or 5? Who knows ...

went to a nice lunch in Moshi indoitalianischen's for us to continue and Kin'gori Leguruki and once again we have the Tanzanian Kondaktas deducted. Well, how was I supposed to know, what does the bus for the ordinary citizens? For us, at any rate 2000 instead of the usual 1000th They should I sometimes come to Germany!

were very much faster than we expected at the junction to "Leguruki Educational Training Center" or whatever, the compound may be called straight. Ratzefatze we went even further with a small bus to the north, I barely had time to shoot pictures. The traffic in this originally very remote region in recent years has become much denser, the buses are much larger, but also the potholes. The open pickups, with which you were riding often before the age of 7, are open-bar disappeared, now there are only high-tech buses, hoho.

Well, we arrived at the school center in flux, so that Anja, where we could come under the following 2 nights, not even back from a trip was their farewell visit. (In less than a week now and we will remove the sails and the melancholy escalates slowly becoming high.)

Her friend Alex and his friendly chatterbox daughter Vanessa were just visiting, so we just for 2 days to five the Volunteershaus populated and consistent on time this morning, the drinking water supply was running low. Until at least noon tomorrow is so fashionable dry shower, which saves expensive to washing towels ...

Well, somehow everything is as usual. Nevertheless, a few changes: A lot of new houses are built been, the workshops are partially moved, was from canteen, joinery, a children's garden and the corn mill in between a "Business Site", which is ominous for reasons of close to bankruptcy. The school has a legacy of Wazungus now 3 cars instead of one and the sponsored ages ago IVECO trucks now only a more or less brightly painted scrap heap.

was really sweet that I discovered in the nursery school a few kiddies who presented me proud of her blue backpacks, to read where "church district Bautzen" was. A small project facilities to the students with school supplies, which ich im letzten Advent mit einigen Rucksäcken, gefüllt von Gemeindegliedern in Schönfels und Altenburg unterstützen konnte.

Die Anzahl der Schüler ist seit meiner Zeit auf dem Gelände infolge der Angliederung einer Secondary School fast verdoppelt worden, entsprechend mehr Klassenräume und Unterkünfte für Schüler gibt es jetzt.

Vom ehemaligen Personal ist leider nicht mehr viel übrig: Die mühsam vom WFD-Berater trainierten Headmaster sind inzwischen beide anderswo unterwegs, die beiden vom SES-Experten Fritz Berghuber ebenfalls gut ausgebildeten Elektriker verdienen an anderen Orten mehr Geld und außer Anja gibt es momentan nur noch einen hellhäutigen Neuseeländer auf dem Fair, something has to agriculture on his hat.

One could say: there was probably after I left a multi-year high, according to a new structure one of me only in color set "Master Plan" which was to dream little left, worked with decisive leadership, pale-faced organization professionals to some extent.

But now, after they leave it running, as it always went. The money, if there are moves for which, in dubious black holes, private pockets or foolish investments and the management seems at times almost nothing. One can only shake his head.

I must admit, on issues the so-called "Sustainability" I stopped quickly to make my illusions. For me it was helpful to know that this or that project went well or better as long as I was just there. If the locals take back their own style and then drive the truck in the sand (but then what is not always the case), I can only say: Pole sana, then you have the most wanted. It is sad, miserable, but apparently not willed otherwise.

had a similar experience seems all my successor: It is often difficult to motivate people to something new, to implement any tiny idea unspeakably takes a long time and often loses nerve and courage, sometimes both. One can think at this point basically equal to about These kinds of "development aid", but this is probably again a different story.

Well, anyway. On our first evening we arrived, shook me quite a chill and a little fever. Somehow, somewhere I had me a stomach-intestinal infections have been captured, as it turned out later. First, I studied in Anya's library or malaria, and other chart and already feared to have to give my next blog entry a different title. So it was (fortunately?) In bad stomachache and sleep without end, which is now due to the stringent diet a bit besser geworden ist. Meine erste polysaccharide Nahrung für heute waren zwei Flaschen Cola zum Mittag, nach Salzstangen such ich noch; die sollen bei zugehörigen Symptomen helfen.

Nun, ich wollte die Zeit in Leguruki dennoch nicht im Bett verbringen und so traf ich mich am Dienstag, also gestern mit meinem damaligen Tischlerkollegen und Freund Yotam, der von meiner Ankunft schon über Anja erfahren hatte. Er freute sich riesig, mich wiederzusehen und lud mich nach einer längeren Plauderrunde inklusive Soda-Sponsoring spontan zu sich nach Hause ein. Damals war irgendwie nie was draus geworden. Oder ich war zu schüchtern. Oder was weiß ich.

Jedenfalls ist Yotam inzwischen proud owner of a not very small motorcycle, with which it myself, a quick fuel stop (see picture), including, in the hinterland kidnapped. He showed me his first actual construction site, a small house in which he would soon set up a small business and his own workshop. Then he chauffeured me to his house, received in the us his wife and two of his children. As a result of my belly-chaos, I could turn away a great dinner (which was probably a relief for both sides) and my gut feeling this time was more than just an excuse.

It was only a cup of hot tea with sluggish for my stomach too much milk and as I drank it too fast, hey presto, a second. But everything was wonderful and it was good to talk to him about current events, the events at the school and some others. Yotam described to me his point of view that reflects comparatively and objectively worked. I guess if he is so smart, he will work well not for long at the school.

We'll meet again - tutaonana. When and where, remains open for now.

tumbled in the afternoon we still on the weekly market in Kingori - always an experience. A few small souvenirs, flip flops for the folks back home and some food shops were this time all our shopping list.

Today Tomorrow's went for us on to Arusha, where we now take care of bus tickets need to tomorrow as early as possible to find the way back to Nairobi and Limuru.


Anja had for the better this morning a meeting in Arusha, so that they could sell us on the doorstep of the backpacker hostels in Arusha. It is also easy to find Backpackers!

Now I'm sitting up here on the terrace, pretty European style, and trying to eliminate the droning and honking to hide the screaming and squealing of road noise. Tanzanian seem to use the horn more often than the turn signal ...

Arusha war noch nie ein besonders freundlicher Ort, es ist laut und chaotisch und von Touristen teils übervölkert. Fast peinlich, momentan dazuzugehören. Aber, what shells, für einen Tag. Samuel ist grad nochmal auf der Piste, erobert die Stadt, macht Bilder, trinkt Tangawizi, was auch immer.

Von der beinahe letzten Station unserer Ostafrika-Rundreise grüßen Euch dennoch herzlich Philipp &Samuel

Is Lewis Body Disease Herediatry

biking through Moshi

Ein kleiner Traum ist heute wahr geworden.
Ein ganzes Jahr lang hatte ich während meines einjährigen Praktikums in TZ davon geträumt, here to get somewhere a halfway decent bike here and never really know what came of it. The mobile sauschwer and as heavy Chinese bicycles are hard to recommend, although this rarely sees something different.
The brakes are more screwed turn pro forma (if it was just screws) and despite the lack of gears, there is idle rather than resign. Well, and everything else was too expensive for me.

But today, finally it worked out. On my immediate question of a bicycle Clive's wife Bodil answered first, sorry, there were none. Although they had once had one, but now it is broken and no longer works.

I have therefore considered the alleged scrap heap and found that the rust Hirsch Danish origin was in almost perfect condition. A few screws and tighten air was inflated basically the whole Reparaturakt. Suuuupa!

So I am now gegast or cycle back and forth through Moshi and thus have my range quite a bit extended.

But again a short flashback:

After more than 9 hours in the bus without air, we arrived safely yesterday evening in Moshi, past mountain chains and volcanoes, endless agave fields and across desert landscapes of different species.

in Moshi itself to neither the first nor really change at a second glance much. A few shops have become larger and are a bit moved, and a whole lot of roads are not "rough roads", but thanks to America's aid program (there are in the area natural gas) mutated to asphalt roads, but in essence is all inclusive The menu at the pub Alberto, remained the same. And it is soo beautiful!

I just love this city. Zwar gibt es auch hier eine Menge Touristenfänger und selbsternannte Künstler (great artists & best friends!), die einem neben allerlei Schnitzhandwerk und maßlos überteuerten Ölmalereien gern auch die eigene Großmutter verkaufen würden, aber es ist immer noch wesentlich ruhiger als in allen anderen Metropolen, die wir bis jetzt passiert haben. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass die Omas doch noch nicht verkauft sind und stattdessen in aller Seelenruhe ihre Nähmaschinen und sonstigen Gewerke an den Straßenrändern aufbauen und geduldig vor sich hinarbeiten, auf liebevolle Weise die Wünsche sonderbarer Kunden, zum Beispiel mir, entgegennehmen und sich leicht in ein Gespräch verwickeln . Let

As the rainy season is far from over, shoot the flora and fauna only as to himself and everything is knallegrün. Just outside of downtown, there are super nice acacia avenues and forests without end, endless scrub and simply beautiful landscapes.

Clive, who lives here with his wife Bodil just north of the city center, since a few years ago a beautiful house for rent with huge grounds and because his wife has quite horticultural talent is here in just 4 years of a botanical paradise created, which can be seen. For Samuel and me there is a pretty Guest rooms include bath and shower, so that we here at least as well off as in all other places where we were until now a guest.

A m first night in Moshi we were eating together in the "Salzburg Café," which is actually more of a steak house, where a few German and Austrian Souvenirs more or less accommodated unspectacular are. In that location are almost exactly seven years ago, my parents along with Clive and fed me and there was a photo that to this day to Clive's and my Wall hanging. We had to make another image and perhaps it is soon find the old one.

hours are Sami and I plan halfway-and stress-free getingelt through the city, exploring the market, various artist's shops and visited the old railway station of Moshi. Unfortunately there for a few years absolutely nothing going on, although the route Moshi-Dar es Salaam has ranked among the finest in the country. When I was the last time on that station, it was after all still a little freight, but the last 3 years, who had come to a standstill and a couple of empty freight cars are boring and rusting in front of him around in the area.

now is the whole business shifted from passenger transport to freight traffic on the road and gases every day hundreds of buses and trucks in mostly at breakneck speed between Arusha and Dar es Salaam to and fro. Apparently the Tanzanian like this more than the thrill Geschunkel by rail.

By late afternoon the clouds quite unexpectedly released the summit of Kilimanjaro, so we did not have to think longer, that somewhere behind those clouds, many of the "Uhuru Peak, the summit of Kibo should be.

Well.

For now, Samuel has a trip desired by the Arusha National Park, which is in itself a very nice idea. Since I have visited this park several times and the route by using an ordinary safari company is not cheap, I did not however, and use the time now while Sami's Safari Trip as already described for Rumtingeln, shopping, Rumkucken and relax.

I just sit on Ashton Sofa leave me the sun shine on your feet, sip a non-Instant Coffee and think it's just schön, hier sein zu können.

Für morgen steht der Besuch der anglikanischen Kirche auf dem Plan, danach irgendwo Mittagessen und im Laufe des Nachmittages eine kleine Weltreise Richtung Leguruki. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie alles geworden ist und habe für meinen ehemaligen Kollegen Yotam, der sich schon wie verrückt auf unsere Ankunft freut, schnell noch ein paar Bilder von damals entwickeln lassen. Hach ja.

So denn, alles Liebe und viele Grüße an die große weite Welt!

Bis bald! Euer Philipp

Ps3 Hdmi Cable Diagram Ps3 Hdmi Cable Diagram

Dar Express

"Glory to god" - The front is on the front window of the bus, with which we are driving. Well possible that the operators have this saying only glued on, after they were allowed to determine that the front wheel after a little more comprehensible crash just not shattered into a thousand small pieces, but since then only two-digit number by a is crossed by leaps.
For the local authorities and vehicle checks the boot size of the bus driver apparently a similarly important criterion as the functionality of the brakes (which here eh be used only rarely), the integrity of the windshield or even luxury equipment such as tire treads, etc. A detailed
TÜV report would probably all parties to the action unnecessarily worry ...

jo, we are back on the slopes, and this time the trail leads back to the north. Past wonderful rock formations and most recently on Kilimanjaro (unfortunately hardly be expected of sight), we now drive to Moshi, where we will stay with a friend of mine privately. At least 8 hours, maybe longer, the bus will be our home, and after the bus driver with his oversized soap box now already a good 20 minutes through the chaos of the bus stops Ubungo / Dar It has jostle Salaam, should it actually start soon. We have pretty good seats, the very front, just behind the supposed engine cover, and even though my legs 2 feet long, I could stretch well. However, it will be sweaty, even now in the morning, the thermometer shows 28 degrees even on cloudy days and I would remind you that this is the Tanzanian winter. Well, it goes on the road. A wonderful day to you all. Tutasikilizana baadaye kidogo.

Groping Train -bus Free

junk, Countess and 'meanness

After not really long off-break now finally have a sign of life aus Dar es Salaam. Mit dem Internet war es seit gestern abend etwas schwierig geworden, da Safaricom trotz angekündigten Roaming-Möglichkeiten nach Tanzania heute mittag seinen Dienst vollends versagte und dann schließlich gar kein Netz mehr zu bekommen war.

Ich gehe also unter die Sim-Karten-Sammler (nicht dass ich zu Hause nicht schon 4 oder 5 hätte) und befinde mich nun im stolzen Besitz einer 1000Shilling Vodacom-Simkarte (sind ca. 53 €cent) und kann offenbar auch hierüber ins Netz. O Wunder was. Ein Hoch auf die Inder, die haben Ahnung von dem ganzen technischen Zeug und halfen mir heute geduldig… Aber nun genug der Nebensächlichkeiten. Nur noch eins: die neue Nummer: +255752977862.

I'm still a brief outline of the guilty being old morning, we experienced so on Diani Beach south of Mombasa and from where we finally wanted to leave the city.

Well, actually we had before, again in the morning to jump into the sea flux, because just like that wonderful turquoise blue (at least in our memory from the previous day) was fabulous and we are so keen on it were. Well. No sooner said than planned, we were there, but the sea was gone. At least a hundred meters. Low tide is called, and the same was basically predictable than anything else in this country, just as we had not just thought of it.

So we shuffled so a little while aimlessly through geebbte area filled with coral and strange rock formations until a little later 2-3 Kenyans casually crossed our path and tracking for both of us more and more strange aquatic creatures, and thus a detailed ebb Sea Tour developed that eventually down to a reef led. to my not direct positive surprise, we discovered quite close to the point where we had rumgeplanscht the previous day fun, an incredible collection of (no exaggeration) thousands of sea urchins, with (by) which I in 7 years ago Indian Ocean at Zanzibar Acquaintance had made. No fewer than 40 spines in my right foot had at that time a minimum of 3 months ongoing memory is kept alive.

The two "guides" who even had a whole repertoire of German erkleckliches led us safely through the seas and sea urchins along the stone fish, starfish and squid, almost like a petting zoo. Fabulous! And like most everything - totally unplanned.

Well. In the end, was to be expected, a non-scarce negotiation phase at the cost of this little tour. For free but then there's almost nothing here. (Quote of the Kenyan "Ohne Moos nix los!" is The rule of thumb, it seems to me that it is possible to negotiate the first-mentioned price to an average of about one-fifth, so that from left in this case 2500KSh another 500 remained. Ca. 5 euros.

was really funny that another Kenyan came up right after me, and asked me if I could exchange it for a 2 euro coin, because you can not get rid of this fact.

I'm ok, so what, and Samuel went off to 700KSh to get out of our neighborhood. We paid the Guidi € 500 and the 200th Finder Right after that came another Wakenia and offered for sale really pretty shells. And what can I say: For a 2-euro coin, he sold me an impressive part: o) How's all in the family.

Our path led us back after lunch to Mombasa, for Samuel was like a little stroll through the city anyway and we needed a bus ticket to Dar the next morning.

arrived in Mombasa, we were looking first at our recommended accommodation, which turned out to be a unique scavenger hunt. The "Mombasa Backpackers" is really nice, but in many ways a secret, because even if someone stands directly in front, there is no indication that it is a long time there. With a Dreiradtaxi, wirklich amüsant eigentlich, gurkten wir ungefähr eine Stunde durchs Gelände und haben wenigstens 7mal nach dem Weg gefragt. Selbiges Fragen führt immer wieder in Dillemata, denn sämtliche Afrikaner geben äußerst ungern zu, dass sie mal nicht Bescheid wissen und schicken einen deshalb lieber ins Nirvana als ihre Unwissenheit einzugestehen. Mehrmals endete unsere Fahrt demnach in Sackgassen.

Nun denn, unser Fahrer war nach dieser Tortour wirklich genervt, ließ sich aber immerhin wieder aufheitern. Ich schlug ihm vor, er soll vorn auf sein Taxi schreiben: „I know the Mombasa Backpackers!“ Nicht ausgeschlossen, dass das jetzt wirklich der Fall ist und wahrscheinlich bringt es ihm tatsächlich Kundschaft.

Eingecheckt und geduscht machten wir uns gegen 3 nochmal auf den Weg in die Innenstadt, nun wissender und per Matatu (Kleinbus) reisend. Wir stiebten quer durch die Stadt auf der Suche nach Attraktivitäten und dem Bus-Office. Das erste Mal in diesem Jahr war ich nun wirklich genervt von diesem Land. In Mombasa war es irre irre laut, überall trötet und brummt es, hunderte von Bussen und Taxis, Müll ohne Ende und unüberschaubar viele Menschen. Nicht wenige würden einem gern irgendwelchen Reis verkaufen und die Frage nach einem bestimmten Bus-Office führt einen meistens genau in ein anderes, weil jeder irgendwie jeden zu kennen scheint und die Büro’s Commission on pay-mediated customers. Adjust the heat and a bit of a hurry: I was fed and quite properly hmerzen Kopfsc. Well, it helped nothing, we finally found both the desired Busstand and the famous "Tusk," the elephant teeth, resembling an both on the ivory trade and the visit of Britain's Princess 1956th

Whatever. The next day we went even further to Dar. The beginning of the trip is described briefly. To say more would be that the below-described Holperstraße deserves a little lullaby would specially dedicated in contrast to the information we are after would have the border (visa good chat = +50 € per nose) is expected. A blog entry would be there with no keyboard in the world have been possible, because if the potholes and the non-measurable speed of the vehicle in the bus all hopped up and down.

ran the trip, with a short stop in Tanga, as planned, though we arrived about 17:30 clock later than I would have thought. Now we live here in the Luther House, not exceptional, but solid and today had a little Ausspanntag to visit the fish market (perceived about 1000 liters of oil bubbling to 100 square feet) and relax and catch fire at the sun Kipepeo Beach.

On the latter, we conducted several marathon negotiations with the Beach Boys show up constantly, which offered us anything. I guess I'm not a very easy customer for the poor Tanzanian, but our pack was in the end quite well filled with Shukas, Kangas, Tinga Tinga and letter cards. Until then, the boys but insulted several times whether my proposal price deducted nöhlend, a little later and some aufzukreuzen repeatedly. But I'm so not first ask if anyone wants to sell me something ...

for now enough today. We sit for another tour of the city, including grilled on bicycle spokes Fleischspießchen (which ever meat?) In a hotel room or drinking beer, because alcohol is not allowed apparently. However, there are even those in the restaurant of the Protestant house chilled Hopfenblütentee. There, however, it is served with bread nicely packaged bottles. (A story similar to ravioli).

morning we stay so still here, check across the city and gaze even know what to expect. On Thursday's scheduled to go on to Moshi, a day trip again, this time along the Pare Mountains. From the foot of Kilimanjaro I can probably give back what the best.

So far so good, it Greet you warmly Philip and Samuel. Mungu awabariki!
