Dear reader, I primarily wright these comments late at night when I'm in the hotel. Sometimes a word is missing, the wording is a little bit off, sometimes the grammar. But it's not all that easy to write with this little keyboard on this iPhone app called "Off Exploring", also the provider of the website you are looking at. I have to honestly say, I have a love-hate relation to this app, which I now use in the third year: It's great when it works …

Dear reader, I primarily wright these comments late at night when I'm in the hotel. Sometimes a word is missing, the wording is a little bit off, sometimes the grammar. But it's not all that easy to write with this little keyboard on this iPhone app called "Off Exploring", also the provider of the website you are looking at. I have to honestly say, I have a love-hate relation to this app, which I now use in the third year: It's great when it works and lets you make a quick note to a photo from locations you visited with date and geo tag. If it works! Geotagging is sometimes off a hole continent and dates are picked randomly. It drives me nuts, but it's hard to correct and sometimes it's not possible at all. So please be aware of it, when reading. Also, even though there is already an editorial filter on, sometime my unfiltered opinions get through. So please don't be offended, you have the chance to leave a comment if you don't like them. Or, if you do like them. Anyways, have fun.

Like it happens quite frequently so at sea? Vessel with crew. Never heard that it happened on shore though. The question is, would I mind? I don't think so. On the other hand that dissolving process you describe will happen to all of us - sooner or later, only the worms will remember. - But if the truck wouldn't disappear at the same time that would initiate a searchparty and all that hassle

As every journey comes to its own, dedicated point of culmination, you are now approaching the "heart of darkness".
"Trees, trees, millions of trees, massive, immense, running up high; and at their foot, hugging the bank against the stream, crept the little begrimed steamboat, like a sluggish beetle crawling on the floor of a lofty portico. It made you feel very small, very lost, and yet it was not altogether depressing, that feeling. After all, if you were small, the grimy beetle crawled on -- which was just what you wanted it to do. Where the pilgrims imagined it crawled to I don't know. To some place where they expected to get something. I bet! For me it crawled towards Kurtz -- exclusively; but when the steam-pipes started leaking we crawled very slow. The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return. We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness. It was very quiet there."

At some point the vast landscape will swallow you. Or in other words: the border between your now disproportional small island of orderly molecules and the surrounding chaotic matter can no longer withstand.
Some birds, however, will remember you for the remainder of their lifetime.

Hey, heute hab ich's kapiert, dass ich fitzgeraldo erst noch suchen muss, bei zwei vorherigen Versuchen hatte ich mich geärgert, dass der Link nicht funktioniert. Nu, dann wirst du heute desto besser Schlafen, durchschlafen wird eh maßlos überschätzt...
Courtney it is hard to think of a town so close to the ocean as insignificant. I would love to live there!!
re: Pisagua, Huara, El Tamarugal Province, Chilefitzgeraldo7 But the sound machine can't send a tsunami wave either, I guess.

re: Rio Diamanté, Argentinafitzgeraldo7 Believe it or not, they still exit those gauchos. And they have this aura of both, pride and tristesse.
