Back in San Francisco.
It’s been a week now since we moved into a new apartement in San Francisco’s South Beach area, next to the Giants Baseball Stadium. We are in the same building as before, with the same fantastic view and signed a…

Back in the Bay Area!
Between our off-road adventure and getting back to the Bay Area we have seen lots of beautiful, impressive and/or weird things. So indulge me in giving an overview in a few photo albums. On October 8th we made it to…
Sterlin goes Off-Road, UT
Today we visited Canyonlands National Park. Instead of taking the paved roads, we decided to take one of the 4WD only roads. This enabled us to get away from the crowds and access great views of the Colorado River. The…
A Touch of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah
After Mt Rushmore we continued to Devil’s Tower, WY – a close encounter of the best kind! We then left the cornfields of Wyoming for the Rockies in Colorado. ‘Rocky Mountains National Park’ was worth the drive-through. We stopped in…
Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse, SD
After several days of driving through cornfields (and believe me, all cornfields look alike), the Black Hills of South West Dakota were a very welcome sight. Somewhere between the cornfields of Iowa, we did manage to find a ballpark and…

Greetings from London – part 2.
I am currently in Putney, London, spending my last couple of hours in an internet cafe – of course. In a few hours I’ll make my way to Heathrow to board a plane to Chicago. Can’t wait to be with…
Mt Illimani – Success!!!
Just back from 6 days in the mountains, where we successfully summited Mt Illimani (6,438m/22,354ft). It was a long day involving 8 hours and 43 minutes to get up and 4 hours and 35 minutes to get down. But made…
Greetings from London!
Just a quick one to let you all know that I am in London at the moment. Have had a great time so far catching up with friends (Silvia & Wayne, Heleen, Annemie, Kristin) and wandering around. And I’ve got…
Greetings from Llangollen!
I know it’s been a while, but internet access in these little hamlets I’ve been staying in has been non-existent. The one place that did have a library with a connection I hit on the weekend, so the library was…
Where is Caroline?
Just spoke to Caroline, and she is doing extremely well on her long-distance-foot-path adventure. A few blisters, but apparently nothing to worry about. I am sure Caroline will give a full update once she gets to an Internet terminal. Which…
The Training is Over
Just back from a week in the Cordillera Real mountain range. We completed High Altitude training and acclimization. So we are ready to tackle Mt Illimani. It is wonderful to get out of a tent and into a hotel room…
Hay-on-Wye at the foot of the Black Hills.
Finished my 5th day of hiking and ‘conquered’ the Black Hills! Yep, I know, they are only hills and not mountains, but for me – and doing it on my own – it was quite something! I actually had to…
The Bolivian Experience has Started
Like Caroline a quick post to let you know the adventure in Bolivia has started. Landed after a reasonable flight and getting a reasonable amount of sleep. La Paz airport is at 4,000m (the highest major airport in the world).…
