The OTHER journey

The story of a lifetime: A DIFFERENT JOURNEY, starring the ecotourists Andi, Ram and Steiff.
25th of July to 22nd of August. Four weeks full of action, experiences and impressions.

I will skip the first week, because my hands would tremble too much writing about it. I will give you only the picture of the most relaxing moment during the first week:

BUT finally the adventure could begin: The departure to Zacatecas marked the first partly successful intent to start the trip...

Andi on a sweet crack climb in Fresnillo, close to Zacatecas. My brother and Ramona enjoyed a few days camping close to this nice place, while I had to return to Colima in order to deal with a legal problem...


THE shot of the trip: The German "ecotourism travel group" (Andi, Raem and Steiff, from left to right) smoking a big ass genuine Chiapas tobacco at a campground close to the Mayan ruins of Palenque... relaxation the different way!

Big Blue Eyes in front of a romantic cobblestone street in the center of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas... God, are we cute!!

No comment...

Well, that much: The amazing Misol-Ha waterfalls close to Palenque. Because of the raining season the amount of water coming down was enourmous, and in fact nobody dared to jump into the floods...

Prohibido orinar = No pissing (note of the author)


...Nobody? Wrong. A small group of fearless Germans didn't bother and braved the rapids pulling the three ecotourists with incredible force down the river...

I'm still alive

Hey guys, two month without any news from the Steiff, sorry about that!! As you know I was kind of busy with the work for school, and even more with the car I bought. I guess that was the biggest mistake ever, and apart from a shit load of money it costed me almost two entire month of my precious lifetime!!

I just came back from the trip around southern Mexico with my brother Andi and Ramona, I can tell you that trip was packed with a lifetime full of new experiences... good as well as bad ones...

We were bathing in amazingly beautiful waterfalls, demanding the car dealer for recompensation (International Business Law, bist du's), strolling through Mayan ruins, wasted, appreciating the incredible Mexican hospitality and got into an hurricane. That's only a tiny part of our adventures here, but more (including pictures) the next time.

My laptop is broken and I am stuck in Oaxaca with no money left, so I'll try to get out of here as soon as possible. I can already see myself on the street cleaning shoes or selling chewing gums... :P Well, in fact it's not that bad!

Take care guys, and be prepared for the next episode of "Steiff stuck in an Mexican soap opera"...
