Well from there it became a bit of a blur to be honest. Popped into see Che Guevaro's house, remarkably normal suburb and almost banal setting for one of the World's most famous revolutionaries. Had a rather blurry night with Kevin and Julia which ended up with me being carried home in a rather undignified fashion slung over Kevin's back, a…

Hola! A few people (3) wanted to know where we're off to so hopefully this will give people a few clues. Blogging is somewhat new to me, and something REALLY scary to Lou - up there with flying in small planes, bungy jumping and celery - so please bear with us as we trundle around South America. Welcome to our blog - Enjoy.

Cafayate - Catamarca, Argentina. A striking and charming town, made all the more atmospheric by the surrounding vineyards. We had a day off to explore. Made more complex by the need to change…

Arequipa, Peru

I woke up in Nazca feeling pretty average. My right ear had not cleared during the previous day's descent, and I'd been feeling increasingly average since then. This morning it felt as if som…

Nazca, Peru

The next day we continued our descent towards Nasca, and the famous aerial lines. The road the next day was no less challenging than the previous night, twisting along the bottom of a river c…

Isabel Same as Simon - just catching up with your adventures - sitting at home waiting for the two holes in my knee to mend before we start off with our hopefully less adventurous adventure!

May 25, 2012 re: La Paz, Bolivia

Isabel Sounds like you are having a great time! How are you keeping fit?

May 25, 2012 re: Iquique To San Pedro, Chile

Simon baker. Both. Fantastic blogging folks. Looks like you are seeing life in all extremes. You are going to have to give us all a little talk up at the club when you are back. Take care both. Simon and Sarah.

May 23, 2012 re: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Bro' who's the old fella Lou's found?

May 17, 2012 re: photo from 07 May 2012

Bro' So Howie, got a good tan then? Not sure your new bike gear will offer much protection though. Local beer looks a bit pale, but in a nice big bottle!

May 17, 2012 re: Me Damn Chauffeur's Late Again

Nicky Enjoying your blog-good reading mingled with envy, and the photos are amazing! Poor Lou with the altitude but hope you're enjoying the adventure! Be safe on the road and watch out for the large scary insects that get into your boots at night! Love Nicky x

Howard Footnotes Thanks for your messages guys, really nice to know people are enjoying our ramble. I haven't figured out how to reply to your messages individually so I'll make an attempt every now and again here. Using twitter notation: @henry: all the very best for your wedding mate - love to charlie - talk to Jane bailey about Argentina, I think she's got a good feel for the country @jane: nah nah nah nah nah :) x @petra: you can tell nick that doing that ba gua is excellent training for being at altitude - permanent feeling of trying to recover from being mildly pummelled in the breadbasket. @jacks: trying to get some pix up, but good wifi connections are v intermittent, & lou keeps hiding from the camera. @hilary muchos gracias cuz! Much love H
