Still in Quito....

ECUADOR | Saturday, 14 Jun 2008 | Views [173] | Comments [1]

Well, we’re still in Quito, and we’re not entirely sure when we’re leaving. We’ve had…..some difficulty obtaining a Brazilian visa for Snuffy. We could call them many, many four letter words, and indeed we have. We are probably not going to get to ... Read more >


The amazing Galapagos Islands

ECUADOR | Tuesday, 10 Jun 2008 | Views [607] | Comments [6]

Good morning my favourite readers, I write to you from the HMAS Darwin, affectionately known as the Darwin Yatch (see photos). I decided that I would write on each day as they happen so that I don’t have a big FO post to write when I get back.... Read more >


Ekwador

ECUADOR | Wednesday, 4 Jun 2008 | Views [272] | Comments [2]

Work schmork. I’m too busy thinking about going to the Galapagos tomorrow!! I’m a little excited. I’d be awesomely excited if I wasn’t so damn tired. Where’s a coke when you need one?? I’m lying on my hotel bed in Quito whilst Snuffy goes off on the ... Read more >


Feeling philosophical in Peru

PERU | Sunday, 1 Jun 2008 | Views [197] | Comments [2]

Public transport is a fickle thing. Sometimes he works in your favour, organising first class buses to leave whenever you want, either with complete English translation or slowly spoken Spanish for easy comprehension, or the moody little bastard refuses ... Read more >


Lima. NOT Llama.

PERU | Thursday, 29 May 2008 | Views [212]

Just a short entry to update in case I don't get the net for a while. We're currently staying with another Nakiska friend of Andrew's in Lima. Mario lives in the outer suburbs of Lima, but yesterday took Andrew and I and drove us all around Lima, showing ... Read more >


The Mel's awesome groove

PERU | Tuesday, 27 May 2008 | Views [179] | Comments [2]

This is a tale of alcohol, dancing and intrigue. Okay, no intrigue. But plenty of alcohol. After finishing the Inca Trail I was feeling grooveless and lacked the joy of Cuscotopia music in my head. We briefly visited the Sun Temple and the Cathedral ... Read more >


The amazing Inca Trail

PERU | Monday, 26 May 2008 | Views [700] | Comments [6]

Okay, are you comfortable? Do you have a coffee in hand? Better go get one. While you’re up, get something to munch on. On second thoughts, go and cook yourself some dinner (or whatever meal you need), eat your fill, grab a refreshing drink, find somewhere ... Read more >


Into Peru and Cusco

PERU | Wednesday, 21 May 2008 | Views [248] | Comments [4]

Transport in South America can be an adventure all on its own. In the space of a couple of days, Andrew and I experienced two rather unique bus trips which has given us the inclination to ensure that we revert to travelling first class. Travelling ... Read more >


Around Bolivia

BOLIVIA | Friday, 16 May 2008 | Views [181] | Comments [2]

Somehow my time in Bolivia is at its end already. It was only to be a short side trip, but I feel a little cheated that I have barely seen the country. After our time in the Uyuni pub (drinking ourselves not quite into oblivion, well at least not the ... Read more >


Bolivian Adventure

BOLIVIA | Wednesday, 14 May 2008 | Views [223] | Comments [1]

I’m sitting in the ‘Extreme Fun Pub’ in Uyuni, Bolivia, killing time whilst we wait for a train at midnight to take us to La Paz. We have just finished an amazing 2 ½ day jeep tour of southern Bolivia. After making the easiest border crossing I have ... Read more >
