01.06.-03.06.11 Morro de Sao Paulo As the sea was too rough the catamaran didn't go to the Island Tinhare and I took another speedboat with two guys from Israel who I met at the ferry terminal. Half an hour later a mini bus took us across the Island to the harbour close to VALENCA where another little speed boat was waiting for us. When we arrived at MORRO DE SAO PAULO the three of us didn't have an idea where to stay. So we followed the recommendatio...

But later on when I strolled along the main avenue and the harbour I started to like it. Well, I guess the ma...

09.05. - 19.05.11 Montevideo On Monday, 09.05.11 I left the beautiful city of COLONIA in Uruguay at 10am. I was amazed about the thousands of cows and huge farms I saw on the 3 hour bus trip to the capital of MONTEVIDEO.

I met Monica 4 months ago in Ushua...
