Travel blogs are not only an interesting read, they are useful to research places & equipment for anyone planning a trip. I regularly read a number of blogs, and as there is not much going on with my own tour at the moment, I thought it might be a good idea to post some links [...]

I have been looking at things I would like to take with me, for both practical and comfort reasons, and I have come up with a wishlist for the trip.

Days 256 to 265 – Friday 2nd to Sunday 11th June 2006 Where the blog left off, I had just arrived in Cartagena. I arrived on the Thursday evening and I had a flight to Panama booked for the following Sunday. For whatever reason I decided to hang around the city for the weekend, and [...]

Day 255 – Thursday 1st June 2006 Check out was 11am. Come 10.45 we rolled out of bed and quickly tried to pack our things up and leave. I decided that I wanted to go to Cartagena and hang around there for the 10 days until my flight to Panama, so it would be goodbye [...]

Day 252 – Monday 29th May 2006 Aaron and Jon had to get to Bogota for their flight to Rio via Santiago before heading back to England, and they wanted to see a few places in Colombia along the way, so in order to have sufficient time to make it worth stopping and seeing they [...]

Days 200 & 201 – Friday 7th & Saurday 8th April 2006 Friday wasn’t one of the most eventful days of the trip, about the only thing I did until late afternoon was send a parcel back to England. Mind you, that whole process did take the whole afternoon to accomplish.

Day 186 – Friday 24th March 2006 Once our hire car had arrived, we loaded our stuff uop and set off pretty much straight away on our two day, 550km road trip around the Calchaquies Valleys. We were three, myself and and an Israeli couple. Our transport was a VW Gol, equivalent to a Polo [...]

Day 168 – Monday 6th March 2006 Although I was a little tired from the previous evenings activities I wanted to do something a little active, however I didn’t really have a clue exactly what. In the end I caught a bus out to the Hotel Llao Llao on the Circuito Chico and walked some [...]
