Well we have reached the end of our journey at 53 degrees south. It does not get dark until 11pm and its light by 4.30pm. We can see Tierra del Fuego accross the straights of Magellan. You would think at the bottom end of South America that it would be a cold desolate place, but here we find a thriving busy city of 150,000 people, its warm and sunny. The locals say we've had it good! it can get nasty, with a long cold winter. Today is Robyn´s birthday. We ...

Hi Well, here we are trim, taut and terrific (one would hope, Toby´s belt has gone in 2 notches if that is possible) after our 8 days of trekking.

Bused on to La Paz, had to get out at one point so the bus could go across by ferry (pretty dicey looking) and we had we had to catch a little boat. To c...

Hi again, Well at Lake Titicaca we had our first "near death" experience of our adventure as you will see. We set off on our 2 day trip in perfect sunshine in a little covered motor boat, first heading to the Island of Euros which is a man made island of Totara reeds. Outrageous really as for a 1000 years these people have labourously made islands which have to be relayered every month and abandoned for a new one every 25 years. They cut the soil by di...
