Title says everything really - a few beers, some ceviche and lying on a beach

Awesome trip - these pics are just from the small camera, we'll add Bridget's shots soon.

Another uneventful (how nice!) bus trip took us into Peru and Puno... that's our 6th country on this trip! Puno isn't quite as nice as Copacabana bu…

We travelled by bus from La Paz to Copacabana on the shores of Lake Titicaca, it's a fairly small very touristy town but it was ncie to be by the wat…

Since Bridget had read Marching Powder it only seemed right to visit the prison and see where it all happened. Bit of an odd visit really but interes…

After discussion with the travel agent we decided to spend the extra money and fly to Rurrenabaque rather than rough it on the bus - 12 hours on a st…

Only really putting this in so the little line on our travel map looks right :-) Spent a quiet couple of days doing exciting things like laundry but …

Text to come... I need to find the leaflet that tells me where we were. The photos are nice though aren't they?!

We caught the bus from Mendoza to Salta and expected to spend a couple of nights there but found we could either catch a bus to San Pedro at 7am the …

Mendoza didn't really meet our expectations, the city reminded us of Swindon. I think it's one of those places were it's actually the surrounding are…

We lost one of our walking companions to an archealogical dig further north but gained Steve and Zena instead for a 25km bike ride around part of the…

We decided to go for a walk up Cerro Otto (I'll add uninteresting facts like it's height when I have the lonely planet to hand) with 2 guys from our …

After being priced out of riding near Buenos Aires (guess we weren't the only people who wanted to gallop over the pampas!) we finally managed to get…

We booked the standard day trip to the glacier through our hostel (Marco Polo Inn) and it didn't disappoint - a comfy bus took us to the national par…

We got our first glimpse of the whales in the area when we took a walk along the pier in Puerto Madryn and hour or so after arrising in the town so i…

After our hike to the mosque we collected our bags from the hostel and hopped onto a bus to Argentina for dinner - how cool is it to be able to say t…

After a long bus journey from Rio we arrived pretty monged in Foz, an afternoon went by, we're not sure what we did.... we got food at one point. Que…

We're sorry, we know most people adore this place but we didn't. Maybe we missed something or weren't in the right mindset but there you have it. No …

Starting with the animal market around 7.30 to watch people selling pigs, chickens, cows.... guinea pigs. A few in the group decided to buy a pig eac…

From Quito we drove to a haçienda near Cayambe. Very pretty but a little dull and very chilly plus rather expensive. We did have the option of horse…

Nice city, quite European in style. Visited the Museum of Modern Art, ate Guinea Pig for lunch (not impressed to be honest), the museum in the C…

Arrived in Banos for a late lunch - yummy brownies! Then familiarised ourself with the town before heading back to the hotel to make ourselves pretty…

Once we'd dried out from rafting we drove to our next accomodation - a jungle lodge perched 500m above the river with stunning views over the jungle.…

From Papallacta we took a public bus as far as Tena and then a truck into the Amazon to stay with Delphine and his family. Again the accomodation was…

So Bridget and I were finally off to explore South America after what felt like a fairly long month back in the UK! Yay us!!!! First leg of our flig…
