http://tomexei.blogspot.com/2010/07/photos-from-northern-chile.html
Perjantai 16. heinäkuuta 2010. Photos from northern Chile. Thousands of Chilenos spending their holiday on the beach around Arica. Idigenous people dancing on the streets of Iquique. Beautiful houses in Iquique. Old man fishing on the northern coast. Cold waters, warm wetsuits. Wetsuits drying after a surf session on a unknown wave somewhere on the coast south from Iquique. Thermal pools of Puritama, near San Pedro De Atacama. Puritama is a small oasis in the middle of the desert. Scene from El Tatio.

Sunnuntai 27. joulukuuta 2009. All good in Ecuador. Tommis mum and brother came for Christmas so we have been spending some quality family time in quality accomodations :) and enjoying doing some action followed by doing some nothing by the sea! All good, luxury vacation from the normal camper vacation! Perjantai 11. joulukuuta 2009. Couple of days ago we climbed Cotopaxi. It was the highest mountain we have ascended (Iitus first real mountain ever), and it felt great! At midnight we were ready to start ...

Maanantai 12. lokakuuta 2009. Shipping a car from Panama to Colombia 2009. It was fairly easy after all, and there are plenty of people doing it nowadays. The paper work just took quite a lot of time, and it would have been much harder without Iitu's very good Spanish skills, even though surprisingly many official did speak at least little English. Generally speaking the people in Central America do speak way better English than Spanish people. So many Gringos around I guess. Ready to go. Two dogs vi...

Lauantai 23. toukokuuta 2009. Muutaman tunnin matkan paassa San Cristobalista sijaitsee luonnokaunis kansallispuisto Lagunas de Montebello. Kaupunkielama alkoi jo tympia, joten suuntasimme vaihteeksi luonnon helmaan. Taytyy sanoa, etta Suomi tuli vahvasti mieleen paikan fiiliksesta. Rinkka on isompi kuin kantajansa, mutta Iitu on kauhean vahva. Kiva olla mokilla pitkasta aikaa. Maisema muistutti melkoisesti Suomea. Kasvillisuus on kuitenkin varsin erilaista, kun tarkemmin katsoo. Raunioilta oli hyva nako...

Perjantai 19. joulukuuta 2008. Keskiviikko 17. joulukuuta 2008. Koti ja keittio. Aamupalalla Ojai-laakson maisemissa. Merinorsuja Big Surin rannikolla. Jouluvalot jenkkityyliin Santa Cruzissa. Talo heratti huomion jo paivanvalossa, pakkohan se oli kayda iltasella kuvaamassa. . Merileijonat elelevat San Franciscossa ihmisen kanssa sovussa. Uusi kamera alkaa jo tuntua tutulta. Nyt tarvitaan vaan kymmenia tunteja harjoitusta. Ollin ja Rosan luona asusteltiin New Yorkissa. Kiitos viimeisesta! Patella on taal...

Keskiviikko 3. helmikuuta 2010. Here are some photos of the desert that started after we crossed the border from Ecuador to Peru. It’s amazing how quickly the landscape changes after the border. Suddenly there is only brown sand with poor brown villages and nothing else. Even the ocean looks pale. Macara, instead of that, was very mellow and everything went well with the paperwork of the van. Soon the desert started. There are villages in the middle of nowhere. Here we slept. Ol’ Karma was our ...Neverth...

Lauantai 28. marraskuuta 2009. The city center of medellin was full of Boteros fine art. Naturally as Botero is from there. Hombre stripping on top of the car in Medellin. Young students having little fun and throwing bottles and other stuff against riot police in Medellin. Cool Clouds in Coffee country. Coffee country view. Early morning in Salento. Keskiviikko 25. marraskuuta 2009. Mompox and up to the mountains. The view from the ferry. The river was wide. The locals use canoes for the crossing. Lucki...

Perjantai 29. tammikuuta 2010. More rock climbing in Ecuador. Paute is another crag near Cuenca. It's got about 70 bolted sport routes. We spend couple of days there enjoying sunny weather and climbing many nice routes with our Colombian friends. Nice 15 minutes walk from the parking area to the crag. Again we were surrounded by remote countryside. The altitude of this place is lower than the other climbing places we have visited, so the weather is milder and warmer. Iitu flashing La Primera 6a. One day ...

Sunnuntai 26. heinäkuuta 2009. It was exciting to cross the border to Honduras, as the country is pretty unstable nowadays, with coup d´état going on. We didn´t even know if the borders were closed. Everything went fine. The whole way through Honduras had a police check-up almost every 10 km. It took time and patience but they always let us go in the end. . Others were too sleepy to react. Maanantai 13. heinäkuuta 2009. El Salvador is a lively small country with almost six million inhabitants. Volcanoes ...
