I'm in Europe! Wait, no I'm not! I'm in Bariloche, in the lake district somewhere in Northern Patagonia, Argentina. The trip is rapidly coming to a close, in fact I have less than a week before I'm on a plane back to Australia. Five days to be more precise. Tomorrow I head to Iguazu and …

Bookshops, Perons, Palaces and Buenos Aires
Back for a second helping of Buenos Aires antics, here I am again. For a second blog that is, not for a second visit, it's all been in the one week here. Actually really the first place of note my wife and I visited in Buenos Aires was the El Ateneo bookshop. In a world …

Salta, First Taste of Argentina
Hi all. Well, today I leave Salta on an overnight bus to the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires. I've been enjoying a few relaxing days here, I've gone out and seen a bit but really just relaxed in a nice city, very different from any I visited earlier in South America. I've had a …
Salar de Uyuni
Howdy all from Bolivia for the last time. This trip at least. I've just returned to Uyuni after a three-day trip to the Salar De Uyuni, so I'm going to try and give you a brief run down of how it went. In Uyuni there are loads of operators offering trips to the salt plains. …
Sweet Sucre
Howdy all. My last night here in Sucre, southern-ish part of Bolivia. I've stayed three nights and would you believe this is my first three night stay since my first stay in Quito. It's been crazy and tiring and rewarding as well. Sucre is the nicest city I've been to in Bolivia. Well, I've only …
At the (other) Copacabana. And the Isla Del Sol
No, I'm not in Brazil. Yet. I'm here in the delightful little town of Copacabana on the shores of Lake Titicaca, in Bolivia around 8-10 km from the Peruvian border. I've had three days of sunshine, and a great chance to relax a little. Why, today I even slept in! There's not an awful lot …

Cusco and the Last Days in Peru
Did I call my last Ecuador blog something similar? Anyways, a few hours ago I passed the border into Bolivia and am now in my third country of this South American adventure. I'm in Copacabana - not the one of Brazillian fame rather the one on Lake Titicaca just over the border into Bolivia from …
Machu Picchu – City in the Clouds
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 …
Life in Lima
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 …
Historical Quito and the Middle of the Earth
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 …
