teacherontwowheels My brother is a member of couchsurfing and they were staying at his place. They payed a trip with Adrenaline Bolivia to Coroico and i asked the owner to allow me to be their guide. I could not believe this would change my view of touring cyclist. Here is a phot with me as his guide and a comment about the deathroad beatiful lecture! panamerica.ch Das ich diese Liegeräder gesehen habe und unbedingt mit den Jugs was machen wollte geschah in einem Augenblick. Leider waren die verplant für die Deathroad... nicht mehr und nicht weniger als mit einem Freund von mir, also wurde ich als deren Führer angagiert... und es war cool.

| 28 | 14.8.09 | Michael | mike-on-bike Valerie, so, gibt Flugblätter aus und irgendwie erkennt er, dass das logo etwas mit Fahrräder zu tun hat. Er kommt rein und erzählt, dass er in El Alto untergebracht ist und er solange in La Paz bleibt bis sein Hautproblem auskuriert hat. Das Thema kommt immer wieder und erzählt jeden ohne Vorwarnung. Und dann kommt das Thema mit seinem Haus, das er nicht vermieten kann... Ufff. | 0 |
