Always gonna remember

32 H Bus ride from El Chalten to Bariloche and evening before that, that was a good night.
Well da bus was not perfect, but was good enough for two drunk crazy bustards:)))




Bus from Torres Del Paine National Park. Bus lost a wheel, u know,, a wheel!!!! Almost got a slide on side, heh,, that was crazy. When u buying a Bus Ticket in South America u never know what u gunna get:)




Quilmes Bock, Dave's birthday party and a crazy hotel worker.
That was pretty funny night and da next day when some students from Argentina try to talk to Dave on da ferry port. They was just asking questions like FBI or something hehe. Anyway hangover that what was killing me.



Camping and trekking around all National Parks. Good times, that was cool. Good diet coz no one want to carry too much stuff right,, so is better do not take too much food:)
I lost stove on da first day of trekking in Huaskaran NP so we had a choice to keep going and risk or go back in da next day. We trek for next 2 days, get fewer, cough and flu after all.
Good experience.




Sunrise on Caribbeans. Firs time in my life I want to get up at 5 in da morning... I did it
every day, to see that beautiful sunrise.

MEXICOOOOOOOOOOO CITYYYYYY

Well that's the end of my trip thru Latin America.
I did it, I make it, wow, I thought... doesn't matter now.

Ushuaia-Mexico City - no airplane - 4 months that's all I can say:)

Da sad think is that I couldn't stay in Mexico City for even a night. I had to leave same day I arrived.
Why??? Got a funny answer:) no bloody free room in any hotel-hostel around da city.




I was lucky thou. I thought I'll have to sleep on da airport but... da lady from Iberia(my next flight operator)found some free sits for me:)

All I can say about Mexico City is: da people, people are just so amazing, really helpful.

In da city I stayed around 4 H looking for any accommodation but... u know there was nothin.

I haven see much in Mexico so cant tell u much but I'll be back, that's all I know:)

Palenque 24-26.07.2008

Amazing waaterfalls about 30 km from Palenque.

Palenque is like little Mexican Village from Desperado movie. Love it.

Food in Mexico was amazing as well... just spicy:)
Now,, I actually like spicy food:)



<-------------Misol-Ha




A dirty river Agua Clara.

I like da kayaks, they are really cool.




Agua Clara----------------->









Last of da waterfalls.

Da coolest one:)

Looks like an Iguazu in Argentina but who cares:)

<---------------Agua Azul

Flores & Tikal 22-24.07.2008

After cheap and dangerous night bus on the other side of Guatemala I went to see one of the most important Mayan ruins.

I stayed in another very touristy place, called Isla de Flores.


<-------------Sunrise- on da way to Tikal





Tikal is the largest excavated site in the American continent. It is Guatemala’s most famous cultural and natural preserve.

Temple 4------------------------>

This all pyramids looks like build by UFO or something:)
He he

My brothers build it. Bloody MoFoS





Ive been walking around all this pyramids hidden in da jungle for about 4 hours. Some people told me than there is no way I can do it in one day:)

Well I did it in 4 Hours hehe.

They not the smartest ayyyy:)

<----------Gran Plaza








That's one of da ruins on the end of trek.
I heard there is Guerrilla around so I was a little bit scared, but everything goes right and I survive it without any problems.

Lake Atiltan 19-20.07.2008

Well that's suppose to be one of the most beautiful Lakes in da world.

That's not true...

Lake Waikaremoana in NZ was hundred times better then this...









The lake is about a two and a half hour drive from Guatemala City or Antigua. Most arrive at the lake in Panajachel were I stayed for a night.

There is different temperature as well coz of the altitude.

The lake basin supports extensive coffee growth and a variety of farm crops, most notably corn, which is part of Mayan culture.

Antigua & Volcano Pacaya 17-21.07.2008

Antigua is a the most Historical Town I ever been in to!!!

There is so many tourist is well hehe.

U can find any fast food u can imagine - too many Americans:)))

I found a pretty good hostel up there so Stayed couple of days.

Antigua, the capital of the Captaincy-General of Guatemala, was founded in the early 16 Th century.

Built 1,500 m above sea-level, in an earthquake-prone region, it was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1773 but its principal monuments are still preserved as ruins.

In the space of under three centuries the city, which was built on a grid pattern inspired by the Italian Renaissance, acquired a number of superb monuments.




On da second day in Antigua i went on an active volcano trek:)

Volcano Pacaya got a lava going out of it from last couple of years.

Ive been actually walking on da lava which dry out just couple of days ago.

Da heat from underground almost destroyed my
boots.




My guide was keep telling me than its save hehe.
But there wasn't??

Lava was going underground, and u could see it:)

Crazy shit man. Next time I gonna see lava a meter next to me I gonna be dead muahahahaha

Salwador 14-17.07.2008

San Salvador suppose to be da most dangerous city on my trip and whats da funny thing. I think is da safest...

People of this country are just a highlight of my trip. I never met so many friendly and polite people in one place in my life.

There is not much to do but I fall in love in this place.

And chicas :))))



This is da place were they keep Oscar Romeros body.

Monsenior Romero was a priest but he was fighting against stupid government rules.

Soldiers shoot him in da middle of crowds in church.

He is a symbol of Heroism in Salvador.
He is a hero.

Granada and Leon 11-14.07.2008

After night risky ferry from Isla de Ometepe I arrived to Granada(around 4 in da morning).

It is the oldest city founded by Europeans on mainland America, that still exist in its original location.

To be honest is just another town full of tourist and nothing else.
That's what I think...

<-------------Granada town square



Basilica Cathedral of Leon. Da biggest Cathedral in Central America.

Leon is a typical party place for all backpackers.

Pubs and bars are everywhere.

Cool place but just... tooooooooooo many tourist.

After crowds of tourists I decided to go to El Salvador.

Lake Nikaragua and Omatepe Island 09-11.07.2008

After skipping Costa Rica, I went strait to da biggest lake island in da world. Ometepe Island.

On the Isl. there are 2 huge volcanos, ofcourse I climb on one of them- otherwise I wouldnt be myself.

People on da Isl. are amazing. Very friendly and any time they can trying to talk to U.

The just love to talk about everything, anytime.




From Lake Nicaragua, the same lake that the Spanish conquerors called the ‘fresh water sea’ because of its sheer size, rises the island Ometepe.

The name Ometepe means ‘two hills’ in the native ‘náhuatl’ language.

The island measures 276 square kilometers and it houses two majestic volcanoes connected through a small strip of land.


Thats a BiG FooT---------------------->







After 1st night, I went to Volcano Maderas, which is 1350 m high and inside da crater got a small lake(which is crapp).

Climbing on Maderas took me about 3 hours. That was hardcore coz everywhere on da trail u could see mud. All rocks and roots were shining because of that mud.

<-------------Playa Santo Domingo





On da left there is a place called Chacko Verde, where is a beautiful lagoon.

On da right Santo Domingo and the most expensive accommodation on da island.

In da middle Is da highest pick of Ometepe, Volcano Concepcion 1600 meters high.


View from Madera------------->

Panama 06-07.07.2008

Kuna Yala is da name of indigenous people living
on the Archipelago San Blas .

Every day they've been comin to our boat and ask if we are cool!!

They got a cool culture as well.

No one cant stay on da isl. for longer then 5 days.
There is no foreigners.





San Blas is like a paradise. Not many people can go in da place were we went coz, we had a sail boat muahahaha...

Before we get there had to sail for 2 days and for that 2 days was raining and there was couple of giant storms he he.

That was another cool part of da trip-STORMS

Beach in Cartagena is dirty but when u sseat down and observe some people u can see some funny situation.

Colombians are funny people and they love to make a fun of someone else, I actually enjoy that a lot;)

Lady on da photo selling all kinds of fruits and we have to remember then Colombia got a huge choice of many different tropical fruits.






Cartagena´s old city is surrounded by massive walls.
That's how Spaniards try to defence Cartagena from attacks of English and Pirates.

This walls are da magic of Cartagena. Biggest attraction on da Caribbean.

Parque Nacional Tyrona 23-24.06.2008

That was amazing place, one of da top ones:)))

The only problem was toooo many tourists but...
well that's how it works on a pick season

I walked around this beautiful places for a 2 days and that was definitely not enough.





Tyrona was a home of Tyrona Indians(that's what books saying) and I think they still live there.
I met some strange families who didn't speak in Spanish so...
I dont know.

First day was pretty relaxing on da beach, Ive been enjoying views and ¨views¨ :))))))





On da second day I went to Tyrona village called Pueblita.
That was hardcore trekking, in da jungle.

I was sweating like a motherfucker;)

I could twist my T shirt and fill up 1 litre bottle...

Going up for about 5 hours:)LOVE IT

I didn't take enough water but lucky me I had a tablets which clean water for u so I drank river water




Tyrona

Bogotá was originally called "Bacatá" (which means “planted fields”)

All I can say is I LOVE PEOPLE IN COLOMBIA.

Quito 10-14.06.2008

After long trip we went to Quito, capital of Ecuador.
We stayed there 4 nights, walk around a bit, had couple of cerveza and that's it.
Its a cool city am not a fan of a big cities to be honest so I didn't give a fuck.

Old town is really nice with loots of colonial buildings and old people on da main Plaza.








The "centro histórico", historical center, as it is called, was appointed, along with the historic center of Krakow (Cracovia), Poland as the first UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Site in1978.

Despite the 1917 earthquake, the city has the best-preserved, least altered historic center in Latin America.
