Me & My 20 Kilo Backpack in South America 2006

Our Big Around the World Adventure

We arrived in San Pedro de Atacama after 3 days touring through the Bolivian salt flats and deserts, rather the worse for wear and very grubby! Thrilled to be in a place that was a bit more upmarket and tourist friendly, we treated ourselves to our mos...

 

Grand ol' world tour

The Navimag cargo ferry, our home for five nights and the best fun you can have on a ship loaded with cargo trucks, cows and sea-sick passengers. Travelling on the first trip of the high season meant that the boat was only a third full. Which was exc...

3 weeks to go in London

Starting this off 9 months into the trip probably seems a bit strange but I've decided that I would like to have some type of memory like this that is official rather than lots of bits and pieces and scribbled bits of paper all over the place when I do...

 

South America 2007

We arrived in Arequipa early afternoon in time for lunch and a tour of the city. The city is also known as White City due to the white volcanic rock used to make the colonial buildings. One of the highlights in the city is the Santa Catalina Covent ...

 

South America 2006
