Yes, that's right, I made it to Machu Picchu. One of the seven wonders of the world, Peru and probably South America's greatest tourist attraction, I made my way here. Bucket List Item - cross it off! So... What did I think of it then? What's it like? Well. I am well aware of just …
Howdy all. I've around an hour before I need to leave for my bus to Cusco, so I thought I'd quickly bash out a blog entry so that I leave Arequipa up to date. Arequipa is a pretty pleasant town all said with two major attractions, the Santa Catalina Monastery, and the mumified remains of …
It seems I've reverted to doing titles with words starting with the same letter! I'm wiriting this blog on the bus from Lima to Arequipa. I'm taking a very nice bus indeed with the company Oltursa, the same one that I used from Piura to Lima. They have a VIP section and the seats are …
Hello from Lima. But my journey into Peru will be the subject of another blog post. Today I want to share a very little about my time in my last stop in Ecuador. Yes, I've left this amazing country for another. Gees it sounds so sordid when I put it like that! But my last …
Howdy all. I have just arrived in the southern Ecuadorian city of Cuenca. I'm moving fast at the moment, frankly a little too fast but this is what happens when you have dates lockedd in further down the track (Macchu Picchu soecifically). Riobamba was an interesting place. Not unpleasant, lots of squares and interesting buildings. …
Howdy all. The tour has finished and I am back on the road alone, in the town of Riobamba tonight. It's a nice place, very lively with young people right now. It is Friday night after all! From the last time I wrote I've taken a very bumpy ride on a speed boat to San …

Howdy again here from the Galapagos Islands - I'm now on Santa Cruz Island, the most populated island of the Galapagos. We've just been here the one night with the Intrepid tour and later today we take another speed boat across to Isla San Cristobel. That willbe the third and final island for the tour. …
Well folks here I am on Isla Isabella, the largest island in the Galapagos. Another long expedition from Quito to Isabella - starting at 430am and ending around 12 hours later. Firstly up at four for a pickup at four thirty to Quito Airport. At the airport we all had an extra baggage search as …
Hope this post finds you well. Here inquito I've just escaped hail and a small storm, which seems to be the norm in the mid-afternoons in Quito. Hot in the mornings, cools down around 1pm and then in comes the rain! Quito's historic district, the 'Old Town' - where I'm fortunate enough to be staying …

Yes! Here I am in the capital of Ecuador, Quito. I made it safely after five flights and managed to finally put my head to pillow after waking up at 430am Sunday morning after around 40 hours. I had to decide not to go out and celebrate the simply astonishing win of the premiership by …
