Inca or Salkatay? Easy. Inca. Inca has great runis all the way to Machu Picchu which you won't find anywhere else. Salkatay has 2 great days of scenery which you can see in many treks in Peru. Inca trail needs to be booked well in advance though which might make the decision for you. Inca is also almost 3 times the price due to popularity so again that might help you decide. Both are great experiences though and I would certainly recommend Salkantay if you can't book the Inca. Safe travels.
WOW! Hello amigos.... as soon as I think of South America I think of the cartoon of "speedy Gonzalez the mouse".. andre andre......
Wow! Amazing views and outstanding stamina: you guys have done a huge amount of foot work! The massage must have been bliss... Im pretty sure its only Thai massages that end in such favours though Cliffy or should I call you Stif..y.
Hey how does :Fidel Velayuthen" sound??... giving us idea for the next generation... ah maybe not.
LOVE and KISSES and hugs form the VElays (Karolina and Gooma) xoxoxooxo (mind you Gooma is not contributing to my comments... lazy bugger, but Im kind enough to include his name).
Classic Inca or Salkantay? Gday,
Just a question for you as someone who has done both the above treks which one would you recommend? Been struggling to make a choice between the two. Salkantay sounds good due to the less commercial aspect but would i kick myself for not doing the classic?
Smoothy Good to hear from you mate! Mia Dawson hey..... gee you must be feeling old reading my blogs. Good to see you have the Souths gear lined up....hopefully in Mia's lifetime she'll see a Souths premiership.
It's a crazy place over here and we're having a ball of a time!
Cool man! Love your blogg...once again very detailed and filled with energy! That bike ride looked lethal...u both look well and glad to see the amazing pics - u have a great way of getting the right moment to capture a sunset! Very impressive! Is that from your maaaathive camera??? anyway- hope u well and look forward to Chris's rendition soon.... Kez x
You smoothy Serranading your lady with your gi tar and the foot of a Bolivian Mountain. That will take some beating Clifton. Looks like you are having a top time, wish I was there. Just to let you know Mia Dawson is due in two weeks and I have her Souths outfit ready and waiting. CArnt believe they sell souths apparrell in Bolivia!!!!, that bloody Russell Crow gets everywhere!!!!!!!!
Hi Gabe,
I am in South America until (at least) Oct 24...good chance we will extend through to mid-December and take in some of Central America. No chance this time to visit Romania but let me know when ever you are there I could be a good chance one day. Great news about Tanya and Lucy - I didn't know! Pass on my best!
are you trying to scare the be-jeez-us out of me? Sounds like you are having a great time but I don't think I needed to know about the bike ride down the mountain or the statistics that go with it. Just remember I am your Mother and prospective Mother-in Law! I need both of you to be safe. I'm sure you do take care. I'm writing this from my new netbook at Julie's during my first lesson. And from your sister YEEHAA!!!! You go guys:) Love ya julesandshez
Yahoooo Loved your pictures - I'll be in Romania Oct 1-15 - why don't you visit? When are you coming to the US to meet Lucy McCool? Tanya and Shawn have a beautiful, beautiful daughter and you and Dave and your girls have to meet everyone!!!!
To the Matrimonials Hello Cliffy and Chris!
Great to recieve the long awaited 3rd installment of your awesome adventures!!!
Love how your'e having to book into a "matrimonial" bed/room....... :)
As this has been a very active episode you are making us feel very lazy. Though Gooma has got me into tennis and is teaching me on the weekends. (Did you guys hear that Kim Clisters won the US open, 18 months after giving birth?!!!!) what the???? No pressure on me whatsoever!
You both look so relaxed in all the photos and look to trully be in holiday mode! Love the pool overlooking the city! Must have been a nice change from the jungle and mosquitos. You guys seem to have seen and fished for every dangerous creature/animal /rodent in Rurre! That thing, the "Capybara" looks like a hugely inflated rat family! Freaky but very interesting!
Our sausage is half a foot long now... Yes Baby V is becoming more human like with every passing day and has finally given me some reprieve from the daily sick..ness.
Thinking of you guys as you head to peru. Love Mrs V and Mr V and Baby V:) xo
Nude Were you guys nude in those hot springs??? ooooooh.....la de dah!!!!!
You've captured some amazing sunsets...those birds...looks like a great album shot for your debut single Cliff??? Cliff Clifton, Birds at Sunrise...I can just see it! Love reading your Blogg too... cant wait to see your faces in the flesh one day again and glad you got your birthday wishes....they are obviously all coming true- even if you are covered in dust most of the time.... love ya xoxox
Flamingoes Very jealous at your seeing pink flamingoes, but would never endure what you two are doing to see them. Love reading your blog and wish I was about thirty or so years younger. Would NEVER get me down a mine let alone one in SA!!!
Keep safe.
Love Lea and Ken
Nooooel Mate, Noel was from NSW, there is no denying that (the fact that he can only acquire gainful employment in Tassie is a seperate issue).
I ran into him in Cusco again - he had been smoking more than his share of some of he local plants and donated his West-Tigers jumper to the wall of the pub (after signing it)
LOVE THE UPDATE! Hello fellow Germanians and Bolivians!... Love the blog Cliffy and Kris!... Sounds like this is the beginning of many cheap feeds, adventurous expeditions, loving locals and oblivious security!...
The pics are great!...Keep up the blogs:)
Our facts from Melbournia
: I have officially thrown up 97 times in the last 3 weeks (including twice whilst writing this comment!...
: The baby is 6cm's long (not sure what part of the body the sonographer was referring too!)
: 6months to go till we meet our sausage..
Looking forward to speaking to you guys soon!
Love lots Mrs V, gooma and BabyV to be
the bolivian bunnies mate , good to hear your well and being financially prudent in your travels.

Enjoying your Blog Hey Ryan,
Great to hear from you!
Glad you are enjoying traveling.
Enjoy it before you have children and all that other stuff.
Keep in touch. I'll be following your blog.

Bolivia Those bowler hats wouldn't fit my head champion. Beware the salads with your meals. They are often washed in dirty water.
Gotta love those Plaza de Armas. Won't find a town without one. Wish I was there
Cheers
Parsons
Habt Ihr es gut... Moin U2!

Vielen Dank für die Info über Euren Tripp - wenn ich für sowas nicht zu blöd wäre, könnte ich Euch auch von Island berichten: Gela und ich fliegen gleich von Kopenhagen nach Reykjavik.
Finde es toll, von Euren Erlebnissen zu lesen, wünsche Euch noch viel Spaß und passt auf Euch auf!! Ryan versteht ja jetzt Deutsch - super, dass er das hier lesen (und verstehen) kann!
;-)
Ciao, have fun, take care!
