<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe last sunset before going to Sofia Airport after midnight lets me say goodbye to Gostilitsa in peace. I love this place and will be happy to come back to it – but now – lets go for real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wizz Air took me from the old terminal one to Valencia where i arrived in the morning and got picked up by Cari. Here in Valencia, I always sleep on a boat so the pictures from here are more or less all taken around the harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OK – I already have to admit, that the IPhone rocks! \ud83d\ude00 Lets get going with some pics because it will take way too much time to process all the information. Ill spam you with pictures instead…<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Same thing- lets not use words – push pictures – need to get up to date… <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Traveling by Plane from Bariloche Airport to Rosario lets you understand the size and emptyness of this country. Almost everything built or explored is done in straight lines. The streets are cutting the land and the cities into sqares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This town rocks – I did not expect, to be so impressed. The tolerant and very friendly behavior of the citizens with their mostly European backrounds and the American way of using the available space for big avenues with space for trees creates a free and open spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The country in its form now is pretty young but still there is a lot of history and morbid tracks of the difficulties, problems and attitudes are visible evrywhere in town. A perfect place for some street photography. By the way – most locals that I have contact with cannot understand, why i take pictures of “trash” and not the tipical tourist pictures. Well – i see beauty everywhere – also in the trash. So lets go and explore this vibrant small Chicago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n To reach Yucatan, we had to pass Miami – which was lil exiting, because I didnt have a visa yet. Professionel work so – online application took 20 minutes and the waiting started. Luckily, they approved it and i could board to Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The big difference between the experience in Argentinia and Mexico is the places we visit. Even in Bariloche – Patagonia – Argentinia – which is a famous tourist destination, there was not such a huge gap between the Tourists and the people working in the tourist business. Nevertheless, I want to share some impressions from the streets around Cancun, Playa del Carmen, the island Cozumel and of course Chichen Itza – the famous Maya city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have been people prefering the Iphone as a full replacement for a “real” camera. The process of shooting and using the pictures differs tremendously. While the pictures taken with the phone are very well optimized by software, the pictures taken with the Leica in JPG format most of the time cannot compete with the ones from the iphone. This is different for the raw files basically. They need to be processed (I use Lightroom) before they can be used, which means they require a lot of work before they can be used. This should not be seen as an excuse, to take so much time, to feed this blog though. Still, I guess, most pictures nowadays are taken by phones and pushed around in blogs, other social media and private chats because it is so easy and fast.
It is not only this technical advantage that the phone has. After just three days of competition between the two tools, it becomes clear, that I produce much more trash with the Leica, then with the phone. Focusproblems, unsharp pictures because of movement of the camera (yes it has a stabilizer), bad values about the automatically choosen time, opening or ISO settings result in a lot of trash. This has to be looked at, logged or deleted. Take the picture with the phone – review it on the relatively big and good screen of the phone and continue your journey. Im curious, what I will feel about this competition after the trip, when I am more familiar with the Q2 knowing its strenghs and weaknesses.
But now – lets go and see, if you can recognize, which pictures are taken by which tool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.neverland.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/L1000025-2.jpg\")

Bariloche is a small town in Patagonia – very close to Chile – and it is famous for a lot of German and Swiss culture. Brewing beer and making chocolate are as typical for this region as the mostly backpacking, young tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBariloche to Rosario<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here, we are visiting the biggest tourist spots of the country. Cancun feels like a huge money making machine where prices – in US$ – are obviously far away from salaries that people earn, who work for that machine. There seems to be no respect between the locals and the tourists. Everything is circulating around money. All places we visited are crowded and regulated about everyting. Walk in a like, dont do this or that, stay for five minutes, you have to go back. Pay the next attraction, view, picture, whatever. People obviously have no brain or culture when they are away from home. It feels like a big Disney Land again which is dominated by capital.
Dont get me wrong – of course, I enjoy – mainly the food – but I have never been interested in resorts or places like this so for me its kind of Babylon. Also, Mexico is huge and we just see a very small part of it. Anyway – its good to know, what you dont like and this makes me appreciate the time spent in Argentinia even more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
