Goodbye Edinburgh, Hello World

Well, apparently our time is nearly up and we're having to return to dear old Blighty very soon. Life's a beach, isn't it? Well it has been for us recently, anyway. We've been in Thailand for around two months now. It's the kind of place where nothi...

 

um-die-welt 2007

Mit etwas Verspaetung komme ich endlich dazu hier ueber meine Erlebnisse auf dieser Reise zu berichten. Also Argentinien die Erste: Meine erste Station ist Buenos Aires. Eine Stadt mit Charme der Alten Welt vermischt mit einem kraeftigen Schuss Modern...

 

A Short History of Toilets in South American

Villa de Leiva proved well worth the 4.5 hour bus ride to and from Bogota. This picturesque hilltop 16th-century village was declared a National Monument in 1954, so any furhter development on the 400 year old site must be carried out in the colonial ...

 

Southern Hemisphere Safari

Came down to Floriano for a weeks relaxation on the beatiful brazilian beaches! Checked into the only hostel recommended in the "book" to find we were in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of hippies in a room stinking of damp with no money! ...

24th December 2005 I met Gabriela for lunch and after we went Christmas shopping which was easier than yesterday because she knew somewhere that was less busy so of course less people begging. I find this side of things very difficult. By the ti...

After a night in the upstairs room of a pub with an Australian girl called Corrina and a bottle of tequila I am smitten. She leaves a few days later to work in a pub in the Gambia. I book a ticket and fly back to Africa for the first time since leaving...

La Vida Es Dura

"Good morning. Globo Travel Agency." a woman's voice came from the phone. I am already in Cuzco, calling my travel agent in La Paz. "May I speak with Consuelo?" "She's not here." says the other side of the line. ...

 

South America baby!

After a day doing absolutely nothing (i.e. resting my aching limbs!) in Cusco, our group headed out to sample the famous "gringo nightlife" at Mama Africa`s and to celebrate Emily`s (a girl in my group) birthday. After the pain of preceding d...

 

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 ...

 

CUZCO

On a passe ces derniers jours sur les traces des Incas, dans les ruines et les petits villages. Tout est impressionnant, interessant et plutot grqandiose. Le plus incroyable, le Machu Picchu... Une ville perdue, des temples, des maisons, des cultures ...

 

Peru - Lake Titicaca, Cuzco, Inca Trail, Mt Chachani, Arequipa, Colca Canyon and Condors

Puno was our first stop in Peru. This town is based around tours to Lake Titicaca (for us anyway)and that is exactly what we did. We left early one morning and the first stop was the Uros floating islands. We had a good guide who told us lots of h...
