This is my blog. It's been going for a couple of years now. I'll keep writing in it from time to time, often for no particular reason.

New photos!

Been a while - or it feels like it after two days of buses and three days of boats, can't complain about the boat though, was a luxury cruise compared to what we were expecting. Lying around in our colourful Bolivian hammock reading and playing the guitar waiting for our next meal to be served (only three a day, the worst part) or the next Van Damme movie to be shown (seriously they have an obsession with the man). The boat kept up a decent speed as were travelling downstream, which meant a cool breeze wafted through the windows unless we pulled up to the river bank to load on more bananas or cows.

Anyhoo, we finally got ourselves organised this evening and have uploaded the photos onto the gallery, quite a few new ones as its been a while, going as far back as Lake Titicaca (seems like a lifetime ago - about a month I think, have lost track of time and space, no just time, although we are keeping a close eye on the calendar now as the dreaded D-day (D for departure from Miami) draws nigh. There has been mention of a slight extension again so that we don't feel the pressure of rushing through and missing things.

We set off on a three day jungle tour tomorrow of anaconda wrestling and paddling with piranahs and all the other interesting creepy crawlies. Anacondas and tarantulas will certainly be a test for me given my distaste for their company in general. Did I mention we are in Iquitos. If not, thats where we are, its the largest city in the world that is not accessible by road, only by boat and air. We will return here after the jungle tour when we will take another long boat ride to the Colombian town of Leticia on the tri-border area with Brazil and Peru. From there we aim for Bogota, how? Who knows. We'll figure it out when we get there.

Don't forget, make comments on the website and photos, it makes us feel like people are checking them, which has its comforts.

Suerte amigos.
