Phew!!!!!! what an incredible wicked adventure we have had in Peru! We've only just arrived in La Paz, Bolivia, after two weeks of no stop rushing around visiting different places and doing as much activities as possible, in a limited space of time! we are truly sorry for not being able to write u a postcard from Peru. Here, i'll try and squeeze all what we have been up to in Peru, in this postcard! After Ant had written that postcard from Cuenca, we raced dow...

Glad that my backpack is now a lot lighter and more comfortable! I took a bus to Latacunga. A taxi man couldn't find the hotel that Emlyn and Bree stayed the night before.

Like Anthony said in the last postcard, we've done long hours of travels on the coach through Colombia. There isnt any railway services in Colombia, so we have had to endure long bumpy journies up and down the mountains, fearing the guerillas would block the road somwehere. (in fac...

Hola, After our superb successful safari trip in Los Llanos. Came back to Barinas and left our tour guide. We've been exploring around the town before heading to Colombia via San Christobal, San Antonio. It took us a while to get to Cucuta in Colombia, at the border between the 2 countries. In Cucuta, we were nervous, paranoid, but excited. Whilst in Colombia, it's probably the most dangerous country in the world, apart from Iraq according to our trave...
