Week 108. Birthdays on the road. You know that you’re getting old when there are that many candles on your cake…
P.S. Still stuck in Panama.

Week 107: The Drought
Week 107. The drought. Panama is suffering from drought (thanks to el niño) and we are suffering together with it. While Panama is preparing to partially shut down the Panama Canal, our siestas are becoming longer and longer everyday. Can you imagine cycling in a country where you have to start your siesta at 8 in the morning?
Well I don’t know how to call that
Sven Schickedanz also known as El Muchacho del cuarto 4 also known as Seven Schichecken also known as Seven S. Also, don’t be fooled by 6 stars – several car fresheners to hide the smell and no toilet door prove otherwise.
Supermoon Eclipse
Watching supermoon eclipse. The local people came out too. Apparently, local evening news announced that they can watch it live, so they got outside. They brought a broken telescope with them, but didn’t notice that it’s not working. How? They are very drunk. So drunk, that one fell off the chair while watching the moon. Oh, the romance… 10 minutes till full eclipse!
Quiz: Big Cat
Quiz Friday! It’s been a while since our last ‘what is this’ quiz, so – Question: What is this? We found it at the zoo, it’s not a cub and it’s just a bit bigger than a house cat.
The winner will get a personal kilometer as well as a place in our Hall of Fame (http://on.fb.me/1JAdFTC). The quiz ends on Monday (00:00 GMT). The winner will be announced on Tuesday. The winner will be drawn at random from all the correct entries.
Week 106: Suprise
Week 106. There are some certain things that you don’t want to find next to you in the morning, after sleeping outside without a tent. Here is one of those things that we didn’t want to, but yet found. We won’t repeat the experiment ‘let’s ditch the tent’ anytime soon.
The Sound of Teamwork
“Push harder! Push! Now lift it! Push! Try it from the other side! Lift! Push! Harder!” – this is how teamwork sounds at its best. What were we doing? Putting a pumpking under the net on the trailer. Yes, you’ve read it right: we are now transporting pumpkins on the trailer. Among other stuff.
Week 105: 100 Days Untill Christmas
Week 105. Only 100 days left until Christmas! We made 100-day-plan for all our team members to reach their goals. Tulku’s main goal is to be able to walk 4 hours non stop once per week and reach her pre-operation condition! How much can you achieve in 100 days?
Week 104: Power Outage
Week 104. Power outage. Central America is not known for stable power supply. So our highlight of this week is shopping without lights. You get a torch and then you help yourself through the small mini-super (local name for general store). At the end the lady looks with her own torch what is in your shopping cart (or what you put on her desk) and sums all up in a calculator (because nothing works without a calculator in Latin America). Oh and she knows all the prices by heart so no trouble with that.
Perfect timing
