a bit of South America in 4 weeks

I have changed my blog so that it now incorporates my full South American adventure!

Arrived on a bus from Copacabana and bumped into Nick (UK - met in patagonia) on the street near plaza de Armas. thought about doing one of the treks but "the inca trail" was booked out for the next 3 months so decided to cop-out on the long walk and take the train up to Machu Picchu.

Spent a month in South America, including 2 weeks in Cuzco, Peru, 1 week in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and 1 week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Best month of my life! While in Peru, we spent 4 nights camping in the Manu Rain Forest, did a 4 day hike of the Inca Trail, and also did the 3rd highest bungee jump in the world (along with the longest human slingshot)!

18th Apr 2008I' m sitting in my hotel in Cusco winding down after having just completed the 4 Day Inca Trail Trek; what an adventure it was! Despite the sore limbs and the dirt encrusted nails, I feel on top of the world!I highly recommend this trek to anyone seeking a bit of adventure, a challenge…

I got off the tiring night bus in Cusco with the guys from Puno and two other French guys and we wandered around the centre of Cusco looking for accomodation in the early hours. Cusco was a beautiful place and at such an early hour in was nice and peaceful. The city had great architecture and beaut…

Herom skal ikke siges saa meget, men se billederne (HE HE HE HE!) Er der nogen som har haft et marsvin som kaeledyr? Her har de en lidt anden funktion.....

This is an itinerary of our trip around the world and does not include any journal entries.

The day after our four day trek we just spent the day in bed enjoying a bit of comfort after slumming it for the last 3 nights in crappy accomadation. The only time we made it out of our room was some food then to put our washing in. The next ay was anither nice lye in and in the afternoo…

1 Continent. 10 Countries. 152 Days. 2000 Dollars. Millions of Memories. My South American Adventure begins Dec 2007 and ends April 2008. I am pretty much traveling alone and winging it. But one thing's for sure- it's gonna be one hell of a trip.
