    G´day mates!

    Despite our „7 to 4 job“ we have been quite busy during the last couple of weeks and have released not one but two new travel reports on our web page.

    In our first travel report „Course north” we are exploring New Zealand´s far north.

    Amongst other things we are fighting with a whole crowd of people for a hot spring on a beach, we are enjoying riding our motorcycles along the windy costal roads of the Coromandel Peninsula and in Auckland we get spoiled with original Bavarian Käsespätzle (cheese Spaetzle).

    Furthermore we enjoy the great Kiwi hospitality once again and we experience one of our highlights in New Zealand, we are riding our bikes on the famous Ninety Mile Beach.
    What a ride!

    (Please use the language select button on the right hand side of the page!)



    And as the title „The last kilometers…“ suggests, in our latest travel report it is all about our last motorcycle kilometers on New Zealand soil.

    And these last kilometers have a lot to offer. We are visiting the most northern point of the North Island and we are training our motorcycle riding skills in the deep sand around the foot of massive sand dunes.

    Furthermore Helmut becomes the victim of a nasty wasp attack and he has to deal with some more difficulties…

    Hello all together,

    Our new travel report „On the Road again” is about our arrival on the fourth continent of our motorcycle world travel.

    Thanks to the new culture, foreign language and one and another specific of the country our first days in South America have been quite turbulent!

    What exactly happened?

    G´day mates,

    In our new travel report „It´s getting colorful!“ things are getting lively!

    We are exploring the Andes off the beaten tourist tracks, we are picking up with the Argentinean vegetation which is proverbially leaving a lasting impression with us and we are hurling ourselves into the chaos of the traditional veneration of the saints together with hundreds of Argentineans!

    Sounds exciting? It really is!

    G´day mates,

    in our new travel report „In the valley of the moon” we are changing our transport into only 2 PS.

    Furthermore we are exploring the valley of the moon with its impressive moonlike landscape.

    And why Helmut went diving with his sleeping mat?

    @Grashopper:
    Thank´s!
    We´ve lots of travel reports, pictures and videos on our web page and on our Facebook page we try to post even more pictures. So you are very welcome to visit both!
    Unfortunately writing the travel reports bilingual is too much work whilst traveling so we just use a translation program which doesn´t make a good job... but it´s better than nothing!

    G´day mates!

    Our new travel report „The sky so close!“ is about breaking our first altitude record in the South American Andes, fighting against stormy natural forces and testing out the limits of our offroad skills.

    Furthermore we celebrate a spontaneously overlander meeting with lots of interesting travel stories and very creative culinary delight.

    G´day mates!

    It´s quite difficult for us to find a proper internet connection in Patagonia to update our web page regularly but today we finally made it!

    We have released four brand new travel reports about our adventurous journey through the North of Argentina!

    G´day mates,

    Our new travel report „Bienvenidos Atacama!“ is now online!

    On our way through the worlds driest desert we are batteling against the freezing cold which didn´t even spare our water supply, we are celebrating the reunion with some of our travel friends and Helmut tries to fix an unpleasant bike problem in a dusty little desert town.

    Click here for the report:

    G´day mates!

    It´s been a while since we last updated our travel reports, but today we even have three new travel reports for you!

    In our travel report "Improvisation is everything!" we are visiting the world´s largest copper mine and after we literally make off back to the Pacific coast we meet up with other motorcycle travellers and try to solve our clutch problem in a very special way.

    Click here for the report:
    http://www.timetoride.de/2015/02/09/...ion-ist-alles/
    (Please use the translation button on the right hand side of the page!)



    Our travel through Chile continues!

    In our travel report “A ride into the uncertain” we meet up with a couple of old and new travel friends, enjoying some great days together.

    Furthermore we are visiting the world´s largest pool which fits the unbelievable volume of 200.000 bathtubs full of salt water and we are heading towards the Lonquimay volcano, not knowing what adventures and challenges are awaiting us on the way.

    Click here for the report:

    (Please use the language select button on the right hand side of the page!)



    You want to know if our river crossing was successful or if we “took a bath” together with our bikes?

    You will find out in our new travel report “Chiles longest shortcut” while you will accompany us along an adventurous track into the mountain region of Central Chile.

    But it´s not just that we have to cross freezing cold mountain rivers, we also have to climb up steep hills, ride or bikes on rough roads and, to crown it all, we have to battle against wind and rain as well.

    How our journey ended?

    You will find out here:
    http://www.timetoride.de/2015/02/23/...bk%C3%BCrzung/
    (Please use the language select button on the right hand side of the page!)


    AND:


    We´ve made it!
    Another huge milestone of our adventurous motorcycle travel around the world is done:

    We have arrived in USHUAIA the southernmost city of the world!!!

    From now on we will only head North.

    If we would follow the straight route along the Panamericana, we would be in Alaska in not more than 17.848 km.

    So let´s meet up in Prudhoe Bay in about 14 days!





    Yours Bea & Helmut

    G´day mates!

    Even if it´s been a while since Christmas Eve, in our new travel report „Feliz Navidad“ it´s all about Christmas. Unfortunately we haven´t been able to celebrate Christmas with our families and friends for the fourth year in a row, but we still enjoyed the time just with the two of us.

    Furthermore a typical Bavarian dish nearly ruined New Years Eve for Bea.

    Why?

    G´day mates!

    We have heard a couple of stories about the famous Carretera Austral already.

    This some hundred kilometres long offroad track in the very South of Chile should lead through dense, untouched rain forest and along empty ocean bays and deep blue lakes. But stories are told that the track also is in a very bad condition, full of thousands of potholes, deep enough that allegedly some fellow travellers disappeared in them and haven´t been seen ever again. Together with thick, loose gravel and endless stretches of wash board riding this track should be a real challenge.

    But what´s really true about this myth and what not, that is what we wanna find out ourselves and so we set out for the dream road of every Patagonian traveller.

    In our new travel report “Carretera Austral” you will find out what we really experience on the road!

    Ah, by the way!

    We are not just working on updating our travel reports regularly, the category “Equipment” needed a spring-cleaning as well!

    We started with the subcategory “Electronics”, which is now even more detailed and informative.

    In addition we will present all our new equipment we are travelling with right now on the home page of our blog periodically.

    We will start with the SENA Bluetooth Audio Pack for our new GoPro 3 + which opens us a whole range of new and interesting possibilities for our videos.
    You may be curious!

    G´day mates!

    We have made the first part of the famous Carretera Austral with no problems, but our ride along the rough and wild coastal landscape in southern Patagonia hasn´t come to its end yet!

    In our new travel report “Carretera Reloaded” we are hiking on the top of an still active volcano, exploring hidden marble caves in the Lago General Carrera and battling the capricious Patagonian climate.
