    Hi.. our gear is quite simple.. one small tripod (for pictures very very close to the ground), and a regular tripod to get to eye level. The cameras are one panasonic Lx3 with 18mm lens (from where we get the wide angle pictures) and one canon Powershot A710 with some years now... I was hopping to upgrade to an DSLR, but the portability these small cameras gives us on the bikes are priceless...

    So, here goes our last part of the ride report:


    ON LAST EPISODE:

    Two young boys found a new playing spot. They are so so happy...



    Because of that, they fill like Indiana Jones, and they want to search all possible places...





    So, they start discovering the secrets...






    It's so easy to just shot and get great images in these places... The hard part is to choose wich ones to post then...












    We've been here for more than 2 hours and still no one in sight. The bikes are down there, with theirs keys, our helmets, the GPS's.. There in no one to ouch anything. And I don't believe the goats kow to put in first gear and get off in one africa twin doing a wheelie... ahahahah













    Old structures used in the mines..









    No clue what this rock was for. Maybe to keep or to thest the drilling material..





    Entrance in a small galery...





    And the view you get when you stop looking and begin trully watching....







    Some time here now. we need to pass that water and it is really cold. But, because the water is running, there should be no ice...
    YUPIIIIIII











    Let's discover this part...














    It's been a long day.. It's time to look one last time to all of that, start the key, switch in first gear, release the clutch and just GO!!





    leaving behind a fabulous place where two children where really happy for a lot of hours...
