Tulkus Last Check up
Last check up before the big surgery tomorrow! As you might already know – Tulku has problems with her knees and can´t walk much anymore. There will be mayor surgery tomorrow in order to fix that. As it cost over a million (well, pesos) we will be launching crowdfunding campain soon. All your help and support is needed!
Altitude Profile
Go biking in the mountains, they said. It’s gonna be fun, they said. Altitude differences from Quito to Cali…
Dimensions
Colombia is very frugal country, they make tiny maches from plastic (coin for scale)
Friendly Colombians
Colombians are very friendly: Kira was pushing her bike for the last 2 km up the hill and one motorbike stopped and offered her fuel – in case she ran out of it. Well, it was dark, so probably not that easy to distinguish bike from motorbike… (no offers for fuel for Sven though)
Tons of cyclists today
Encounter on the road. A pleasure meeting you guys. We met 6 long distance cyclists that day. Awesome to share some experience.

Welcome to Colombia
Day 487, km 9357 – we made it to Colombia! We spent 3 months in beautiful Ecuador, we loved it and we hated it – there were no inbetweens. During our last day in Ecuador the sun was shining and the rain was raining at the same time, all day long and it describes perfectly our whole time in this country. Let’s see what adventures await us now in Colombia!
Quiz: Painting
Time for the first quiz of the year! First, the prize this time is bigger and better than usual – it’s a full calender of 2015 made by Michi! Second, the quiz is a bit harder than usual: it has two parts. We present you the very typical installation that you can find in every town in South America (in the picture). This one is called ¨Tradicion and Culture¨. So the first part of the quiz is: what is the unusual thing seen in this picture? And the second part of the quiz is: please create a story which involves all the things seen in the picture. Get creative! Please submit your story in comments and share it with your friends! You can submit the story in english, german, lithuanian or basic spanish (so we can understand it).
