We’ve just arrived in Barcelona and I’m stuffed. It’s nearly 10pm, so it’s still light, but I am considering jumping into bed very soon, which is hard in a country where children are still out at midnight. But I just realised…..BAHAHAHAHA! I’m in the ... Read more >

It’s hot. I’m all sticky and I’m still damn jetlagged. But…that’s about all there is to complain about (maybe bar how freaking expensive everything is here). I’m in Spain, baby! We just arrived in San Sebastian and checked into our little family ... Read more >

It´s my last night here in Ecuador and hence South America. I am looking forward to new experiences, though my excitement is tinged with sadness as I prepare to farewell the continent. Despite all the things that I WON´T miss about Smerica, there are ... Read more >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

I can't actually believe my time in Chile is over ALREADY. It is hard to sum up a country when you have only spent two weeks in it, but I'll do my best. Adios Chile, Hola Bolivia! Bottom Five 5. Not having time to go to southern Chile 4. Long ... Read more >

From Fhloston Paradise!! Okay, not really. From San Pedro de Atacama. And not live either. I’m typing on my laptop to put onto computer later this afternoon. So it’s all a sham really. We’ve certainly had a much nicer few days than the previous ... Read more >

In stark contrast to our time with friends, Andrew and I have had a traumatic twenty four hours to say the least. We had to get up early to catch the morning bus to Santiago, which was not entirely easy for me as we had stayed up late watching I am ... Read more >

Well I feel suitably relaxed. You? I have had a lovely few days spending time with friends we made in Nakiska. Okay, so technically they’re more Andrew’s friends, but I’m claiming them as my own, whether they like it or not! Francisco picked us ... Read more >

Ah, the many wasted hours of my precious youth searching for the elusive Carmen. Damn you Carmen!! You´ll be pleased to know that not only did I NOT throw up on Andrew, but I didn´t even feel sick. Awesome non-windyness. Kind of made up for Mr-pack-stuff-... Read more >

It´s difficult to sum up a country that you spend less than 3 weeks in, but following is probably the best and most eloquent-like summary yousell ever see. Bottom five: 5. The waitresses never smile. Never. 4. Their fascination with meat. GET OVER ... Read more >
