incredible!
Wow, this looks like the experience of a lifetime. I must show these photos to Rob, he has always wanted to see the Amazon. The no child sex signs are a bit scary and depressing indeed.

Lycra
Thanks Krista, Sometimes important to not take personal appearance too seriously - it was funny what we ended up wearing when thinking only of the temperature dropping 1deg per 6 mins... Hope you guys are well with your big life adventure also! Benj

Migraine cure
I found whilst traveling in South America the best all round cure for anything is the good old cocoa leaf, get the leaf raw, rinse with clean water, chew the leaf and then spit out the waste. (You get used to the taste) after a good 6 or so leaves you will have no sickness that worries you. ;)

Oranges
Those oranges are nothing to the Grapefruits hanging on the tree at your house!!! They are feeding a small army (being Cherie who is pregnant again!) when we can get out in between the rain (which according to our calculations has been going non-stop since you left). Cheers Mike

Ooops - a couple of Km´s out...
Thanks James! A small correction to my post-dormitory induced sleep deprivation, leading to a slight error. Although it was the kind of stuff up that made Columbus pretty famous. Happy reading and thanks for your comment!

the pearl of the pacific
i've thoroughly enjoyed reading your blogs, and your pictures are among the best i've seen on travelblog. i like your travel style. just a little fyi, it was actually the panama canal and not the suez canal that "cut into" valpo's former glory. you probably already knew that though. enjoy the rest of south america and i'm looking forward to looking over your shoulder all the way. cheers!

Magic Camera?
Hi Guys, just had a look through your pics of Santiago - they are great, were we in the same city? All our photos of the capital are grey and grubby...yours definitely bring out the best of the place! We are now in Mendosa scoffing Malbec and steak...mmm. Did a vinyard tour by bike and yesterday went on a horse trek, just the 2 of us with a friendly Gaucho called Enrique and his 3 black labradors who accompanid us the whole way throught the Mendozan outback. Also managed to get our Skiing sorted and survived a great week on the snow in Portillo, with no broken bones...just a dent in the bank account! Happy travels!
