Gold Rush!
After a couple of days without internet access finally: 11 Mbit/s WiFi! Time for an update. The recent days were mainly characterised by Canadian and Alaska gold rush times. Sounding names like Yukon, Klondike, Dawson City, Whitehorse, Skagway, White Pass, Yukon Navigation Company and so forth played a major role in these days. Only a few hours had a different focus: hot springs (but unlike our thermal water pools – read on why) and cold Beringia (how the American continent was first populated)

Day 4 – Wednesday, 23rd July 2008 - What a day!
What a day it has been, since we arrived here!
Valdez is not in Mexico
Due north - to Alaska
I hope to see the Pacific coastline, Denali national park, lots of mountains and glaciers and also lots of wildlife. Oh, and there's Elmo and his folks that need to be visited ;-). My journey will mainly concentrate on discovering the land, while two good friends of mine, Karin and Andreas, will enjoy Alaska's and Canada's beautiful underwater world on their scubadiving tour further southeast. By the way, if you want to read their holiday story, go to http://www.diving.co.at/ and check out the next newsletter. I am sure there will be a report on it. But back to my trip: If everything runs smoothly, the journey will take me from Alaska to Canada and back. Here is the route… but wait! Let’s make it interesting: Follow this journey blog and you will see, where I am each time ?:

The last Inka
this is Radio Mikey again and this is probably my last feature about this trip to South America. Meanwhile I am back in Lima, writing a short update until I meet my friend Peter, who I owe so much for organising this whole journey, for a last Pisco Sour.
Tomorrow at 4 AM (once again) a transfer service will pick me up and take me to the airport. First flight leg to Bogota (arrival 9.10 in the morning) where I might meet the just-married Matt and his lovely wife again. The "big" flight then is somewhat around 5 PM, taking me first to Paris and then to Vienna, where I will arrive Monday some time after noon. I hope I get some sleep during the flights, otherwise my students at the "Fachhochschule" will have a hard time keeping me awake ;-)

El Condor pasa
Well folks, I just updated my last article, so you might want to check out the latest things there as well - at least so much as to what happenend until and in Arequipa.
This feature will be about our short two-day trip to the Colca canyon (said to be the second deepest in the world) and the flight of the condor.
Happy reading and mucho diversion ! :-)

Through the desert to the Andean Volcanoes...
Hola chicos y chicas, this is Radio Miky sending again, this time with a life report from Arequipa and a report of the last few days. To characterize what's coming up in short: seabird sanctuary, desert and Pacific Ocean, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes and a Easter procession in Arequipa.
Welcome on this channel, we are happy if you read on ... :-)
