Hi! Myself and my girlfriend are leaving for SA at the beginning of November and following pretty much the same route as you guys. It's been wicked to get first hand information abt what everythings actually like, you've given us sum great ideas and saved us sum time on skipping the bad places! Was shocked to read abt your crash, hope ur both ok. Will think twice before using a Bolivian bus! Thanks again for all the tips!
premtive. I see my original comment was a little pre-mature.. so that's what happened to the bus driver. Don't worry. I'm sure he'll be in a horrific crash and come off worse, although hopefully on his own.
Some seriously scary stuff... but a gripping read. The prison sounds ace! I'm fascinated by prisons for some reason and I applaud your adventuring spirit!
There is a prison here in a place called Sai Kung, you walk past the back of the wardens office during a hike to an amazing beach. You pass at a point where there are abandoned prison buildings all over the place and it's really creepy. The warden blasts classical music 24 hours a day to the prisoners through the speakers system and it is the most errie, lost esque craziness I've seen here. I took a video.... I'll stick it up soon!
G..
shitballs. Jeebus... didn't expect that while settling down with a cuppa for my weekly blog catch up.
Glad you're okay, what the flip happened to the bus driver? I'd have considered giving him a smack in the head for being such a tool.
Bad times all round.
Cripes! Hello. I browse these blogs fairly often and had read a couple of yours previously, as I'm planning on a trip next year. I read the above and just wanted to say that I'm glad things ended ok - as in, no one was killed, as it sounds like an awful experience. Definitely one though that in years to come you will be able to silence a whole bar with by re-enacting! I was very pleased to hear you intend to carry on with the travels, as it would have been an awful way to end your trip.
Hope you're both back 'on the road to recovery' soon ;)

I heart Brazil! Aww guys I just caught up with 3 blogs - amazing :-) Your pictures are great - I still pull out the old Brazil sarong and gaze witsfully and remember the days. I love JC I would like to live with him. Take care and see you soon! Enjoy every last second as home is for a long time xx
David thinks he knows this guy, did he used to work in Stavka with you? We've been drinking them all the time in Rio, I think it was just that first one that was lethal!
Caipirinhas... Love them! The cheaper the cachaça the better too. Sagatiba is the big brand name one you can get in the UK, but you can find Toucan for about 13 pounds an it's better. Plus has a picture of a toucan on it! My Brazillian friend, also called Camilla, gave me a bottle once. It was plastic and had a picture of a naked woman and a tiger on it. She said it was the stuff people in the jungle drink. It was the best stuff I've ever had!
When you get back go to loft on Byres road and speak to one of the bartenders, Chris Grant. He's got very large spacer earrings and looks a bit emo. We've been bartending together for years and will make you the (2nd) best Caipirinha in Glasgow. Well, I suppose it's the first now that I've left. Tell him I sent you and get Dave to do his 'Get to the chopper' Arnie impression and you'll probably drink for free all night!
Deliciouso... I have meat envy, big time. Check it @ 6.44... Ok Kawalski, what kind of bread do you want? MEAT!

Get him a glass of meat, will you Stimpy!
Rad. South America looks awesome chaps, I'm tres jealous of that trip! I think I'll need to try and make a completo. It sounds like the greatest food known to man. Only two a day? Are you sure David wasn't sick too?
