"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."Nelson Mandela from "Long Walk to Freedom" 1995

Each 1000km, I took a photo where I just was:

With the Scotty Pro (Personal Solar Charger) (3V/0.55W) of SolarC ![](/imgs/extl.png) I made good experiences, about 20 hours of sun, the 2500mA/h AA batteries were recharged, and the operation my camera Canon PowerShot A310 as sufficient, three 2x AA batteries I had with me.
Unfortunately, I was not able to charge my cellphone Samsung SGH E710 fully, only 2/3 charge no matter how long the solar panel laid in the sun, but it was enough for a few days for SMS to send and receive messages. Telephone calls were too expensive, so only SMS which were also rather expensive with Euro 0.50 about.
