Hola from Cuzco!!!! Well we got up at 3am this morning (no Kerry did, I couldnt be bothered and woke up at half past!) to get on our way to the airport. The airport rep was useless, she left us standing at check-in wondering what was going on, then the airline confiscated our passports until we paid departure taxes ( which is included in the pre-paid price). I had lost my temper by 4am. The flight was very smooth however again I blubbered (only for about 2 min...

A Mcdonalds on every corner of the street yet the locals look at you as if you are scum and are part of some massive occupation!

My favourite channel is the warner channel. they play all the good programmes like ER, Smallville, Cold Case, Just...

Kerry has tried to explain about thermals to me however I am not grasping this concept ...

I am dreading the bloody flight - we are flying with Tame (pronounced Tammy) and let me just tell you that I am almost sure they are not registered with the CAA or IATA or bloody anyone! The last plane I was on (the galapagos flight) not only did we drop a few hundred feet but the pilot let the ...

Greetings from Ecuador. Last night after tea we spent about an hour in the hostal reception with my "admirer". His name is Bert (its not but I cant pronounce it!) and he about 50. He is very harmless. Last night I showed him and another security bloke pictures of my family. They said I looked a bit younger than Hannah, but they said mum and dad were older than they are. My poor dad got the worst of it after the security man asked if he drank whisky an...
