| After travelling through South America for nine weeks Nevado del Ruiz was a kind of final enterprise. I rented a tent and a sleeping back, participated at the sightseeing tour (with a Colombian visiting his family in his college-holidays accompanied by his gayfriend and a French who spend his childhood in this town) and jumped out of the car as they drove downwards again. At 3 o'clock I began to walk up but a snow storm hindered me to reach to top. I made it to the rim of the crater where the view was shorter than 20 meters. Back at the hut a bus, full of children coming back from an excursion to the snowline, picked me up. While I was relaxing from my tour the kids were very busy in talking about this "crazy German" and in vomiting out of the windows. Good luck and enjoy the beauty of the Nevados.
