I'll be in touch again! And for lack of work and daily technical news, I leave with you just a little of my experiences in relation to our part in about one month before the first andenes motorcycle.
How it came about: We live here, even in a mini mini small villages and are always so bad out there: Taxis are relatively unreliable and the only clock from 6 am to about 6 clock in the evening. Since we work in exactly this period also remains weekday schonmal no possibility, for example. Oxapampa to go to, to meet friends or similar. And at weekends is mobility a critical issue: Take your own bike we can make excursions, can not depend on disembarking go out at night and and and .. We bought
So a used motorcycle after we had agreed with our successors, that they would buy from us again.
After initial enthusiasm: "Motorcycling is so super easy," then the adventure began .. We were more frequently involved with the motorbike. Since it is a bit shaky, however, starting to happen and unforeseen things.
On the way we had PROSOYA Huancabamba example. stop once because a slightly twisted bull by about a group of young men in the road had to be driven. As this action was done, drove all the other people who had been waiting with motorcycles, of course, going casual. There remained only two blonde girls, the red-faced and sweating to connect the bike versuchten: sprang naemlich ncith mehr an. Nach ca viertelstuendigen vergeblichen Versuchen, einigen Abwuergern, etc. erbarmte sich dann einer der Jungs und half uns, bis wir endlich losfuhren.
Eines anderen schoenen Tages parkten wir unser Motorrad auf der "plaza", also dem Hauptplatz Oxapampas. Wir machten einige Einkaeufe fuers Projekt: Einen riesen-Jutensack voller Gemuese, ein dicker Rucksack voll anderer Lebensmittel und eine Kiste mit einer grossen Torte darin wollten befoerdert werden ebenso wie wir zwei. Wir schafften es mit einigen Gleichgewichtsstoerungen schliesslich, uns mitsamt Gepaeck einigermassen auf dem Motorrad zurechtzuquetschen. Wie das mitten in Oxapampa so ist, wenn man "die zwei Gringas aus PROSOYA" ist, wurde zwischendurch natuerlich again and again greet a familiar face, some students were passing by us and who we do not know personally, looked still quite curious what we're doing because Sun For at least by sight so everyone knows her. Finish on the bike so we went to the riding: Leonie comes with all the force the bike and it does get ... NOTHING. A few minutes later, this time six feet further forward .. but further progress can be measured. After another ten minutes, the vet finally takes pity on Felix, a acquaintance of ours, from his shop on the street. We make it with his expert advice drive off,! Until we notice the red traffic lights, gave us further 2m earlier grins sardonically. Meanwhile, we have selbstverstaenldich all amused glances of the people on the plaza pulled on us .. In a last desperate attempt to push us to the veterinarian when the light turns green. And FINALLY we go.
On the rest of the way home we went on two occasions in the same benefit, because the motorcycle had gone out again. Well, one learns from his mistakes and I must admit that the whole of my misfortune also to a large extent by then rather miserable Fahrkuensten was due.
One other nice day went Jana merry minded towards Oxapampa to pick up one of the girls. As suddenly there was a police control in sight. Jana came to boiling hot that our vehicle papers etc. wohlbehuetet in her dresser lagen. An unauffaelliges Umkehren war bereits ncith merh zu denken und als Jana betont laessig an der Polizei vorbei zu fahren versuchte, wurde sie auch schon heruasgewunken: "Die Papiere bitte" Waehrend saemtliche andere herausgewunkenen Peruaner (selbstverstaenlich mit ebenso wenigen Papieren wie wir) nach 5 Minuten froehlich ihres Weges fuhren, musste Jana ewig mti den Polizisten herumdiskutieren. Auf den Vorschlag hin, ob sie nicht noch einem Polizisten 20 Soles (umgerechnet ca 5 Euro) schulde, verneinte Jana hoeflich. Polizisten korrumpieren, so tief ist die Hemmschwelle noch ncith gesunken. Somit folgt die Konsequenz: mit aufs Revier. Die unschuldige (wohlgemerkt blonde und stadtbekannte) Jana durfte also einmal quer durch Oxapampa hinter dem Polizeimotorrad mit aufs Praesidium fahren, wo unser Motorrad doch tatsaechlich einkassiert wurde. Erst am naechsten Tag konnte es gegen korrekte Papiere und eine Gebuehr von 70 (!) Soles (diesmal aber der wirkliche Strafzettel) eingetauscht werden. Und wer begegnete Jana gutgelaunt: Der gleiche junge Mann, der uns bei der Stier-Aktion auch schon das Motorrad anschmeissen musste.
Ueber unsere Lappalien weiss der geimeine Oxapampino nun selbstverstaendlich Bescheid: Von einem gutmuetig-belaechelndem bis haemisch-zynischen "ihr zwei fahrt jetzt doch auch Motorrad" Kommentar sind wir nirgendwo mehr sicher. Selbst ein Freund, der aus Oxapampa kommt, aber in Lima studiert rief neulich an mit den Worten "Ich hab gehoert, euch wurde das Motorrad von der Polizei abgenommen?". Well, the world is small and Jana and Leonie never before embarrassment secure.
One good thing about the whole thing but yes anyway: There must be no scandal stories about invented us, there is always some truth to tell. And that's still much better than "the other day but I've seen drunk on Sunday morning sleep by the river" or similar rumors.
now works even better and driving without major incidents. Only one time we found else eager companions the night before the disco got ncith open and then when it finally worked with a lot of outside help was, to: The tire was flat. So we came again to enjoy a night on the couch of friends in Oxapampa.
As you can see it is I still very well here in Peru. Now there are only three months and I'm back in the good old Cologne. Longer I hold it out of sheer embarrassment here probably ncith longer:) No, I still really enjoy the last, short months, but then I am actually very back of the home. Until then! Greetings from afar!
