| 7th January 2007 Ingrid Gerrits | Happy 2007 - From: A white Christmas from downunder? Beste Bruno en Irene, Wij hebben van de prachtige foto's van jullie ontdekkingsreis genoten.

| 6th January 2007 Scotty | four season's in one day - From: A white Christmas from downunder? Yep, welcome back to Melbourne, it's never boring is it! Happy New year to you both! |
| 3rd January 2007 Frank | Happy New Year ! - From: A white Christmas from downunder? Happy 2007 and best wishes ! It's been great reading your travelogue (there was gnawing of teeth in the dark when hearing about all the good weather, but well) and I hope 2007 may continue in the same vein. Speak soon ! Frank |
| 30th December 2006 Laura & Kai | Happy New Year! - From: A white Christmas from downunder? Hello there! You lucky folks, enjoying Xmas in the middle of summer! It sounds like you are both very happy and it's great that you Irene can get some real quality time with your dad and bros. We had a lovely, food-filled Xmas at my parents in Milan, when we got there eventually: London was wrapped in the heaviest fog I've ever seen and all flights were cancelled for a couple of days. Now we are back in London with my parents and still eating too much! Kai and I hope you all have a wonderful start to the New Year and you get the chance to write more soon. With love and all best wishes, Laura & Kai x |
| 18th December 2006 jens | well done - From: Valparaiso - Valley of Paradise Well bruno and irene, you guys must be in melbourne now just in time to see the aussies wrap up the ashes series... your luck does not run out! Congrats on an exciting trip and i hope to see you soon! |
| 11th December 2006 Yerko | la joya del pacifico - From: Valparaiso - Valley of Paradise i've enjoyed following your two on your travels. i just wanted to comment that valparaiso has always had brightly colored houses and this is nothing new. that there is more money to add a fresh coat of paint, and that this is being subsidised by the local government, is new. much work and money has gone into polishing "the pearl of the pacific" in recent years, and as you've seen for yourselves near the bus station and lower flat levels of the city, much more work needs to be done. glad to know you enjoyed chile. cheers! |
| 3rd December 2006 Atika Moubset | Fantastic - From: Valparaiso - Valley of Paradise Hi guys Fantastic journey, sad that the journal has finished from south america but I bet you we will read all about Oz now. Missing you lots. Love and kisses. Atika and family |
| 3rd December 2006 mama | Thank you. - From: Valparaiso - Valley of Paradise Dit was opnieuw genieten van de levendige beschrijving en zoals altijd van ....de foto's! |
| 26th November 2006 PaolaMichelChacha | what a wildlife!...sure you haven't lost any weight yet? - From: The grand finale: Torres del Paine Irene & Bruno, we followed you via your very nice Travelblog (I don't know where you guys find the energy to manage the publishing)... it is amazing to see the diversity of landscape you have been through. Federico Navarro spent an evening with us last week (he was in Paris for BBVA), so we talked about a few things including of course you guys. I think of you every time I drink a good Hoegaarden...what are your next Latin American objectives?...whish you fun and to keep in memory every second of picture, sound,smell of this wonderful trip. I dedicate you the Leffe I am about to drink...wishing to drink one - a few :) - with you sometime in Australia...cheers M Paola says she really feel like being a ridiculous 'bourgeoise' when seeing your pictures on our Sunday evenings...the wildest adventure she's currently experiencing is to crawl behind Charlotte pretending to be a lion. |
| 15th November 2006 mama | Rhubarb jam - From: The marvel of Chile's lakes district I noticed that, after a few years of interruption, I surely have to prepare rhubarb jam next year!! |
| 14th November 2006 jeff | santiago? - From: The marvel of Chile's lakes district did y'all visit santiago? you mention it as your destination in your mendoza entry, then you talk about taking a 10hr bus, but you don't actually write about it. did you spend any time there? were the impressions not enough to write about? i'm hoping to take a trip there in the next month and i was hoping for your impressions of chile's capital city. i've really enjoyed your journals |
| 14th November 2006 anonymous | well yes... - From: The marvel of Chile's lakes district Hi! I have done this lake crossing like 150 times in my whole life due to my job as a tour escort. You're right, founding a monopoly doesn't make the former owner of that company a "pioneer", but that's the speech they've got and I've heard this like 149 times. But Peulla DOESN'T look like Disneyworld!! please!!!!!!!! what did you mean by that?? The landscape is REAL, it's not plastic!! Peulla is not a big thing, but the landscape is gorgeous, overhead with a sunny day. And yes, I heard also about the local crew and the problems they had with the guitar and all that. So now they can't drink anylong. In the past it used to be different, they had more freedom and all that, but now they're trapped there! I feel so sorry!! because they are young, but I wouldn't stay in Peulla overnight, overhead if you're young and you like night life, one-day-crossing it's allright, you see everything and you get to Bariloche or Puerto Varas faster, and there is where fun is! |
| 14th November 2006 Stephen Paul | Magic and Wonder - From: The marvel of Chile's lakes district Its a shame you couldn't spend more time in the Lake District, and especially Central Chile. The lake crossing of Lago Todos los Santos is the same route followed by Che Guevara on his epic quest immortalized in the film "The Motorcycle Diaries". If you had more time you could have hiked 7 km up the Cochamo River, where one finds "The Yosemite of Chile". Its the only glacial canyon in Chile with granite- 1000 vertical meter walls of Granite! This combined with the virgin ALerce Old Growth forest make Cochamo a truly special place. Your description of Chiloe is enchanting, I cant say I enjoyed my time there as much as you but I definitely want to go back because of the romance you wrote about it! The picture of Bruno and the snow capped Volcan Puntiagudo is great, imagine that used to look like Osorno eons ago before ice, rain and wind eroded its form into its unmistakable sharp tip! And the Chiloe houses? A sad reminder that over 80% of the old growth alerce has been logged to make such beautiful Shingles.... |
| 14th November 2006 Aimee | Wanderlust - From: On the road to the Andes we met Paco... Hey guys, It's been fab travelling with you via the wonders of the net. Your doing/visiting some realy interesting places and I'm envious and miss the thrill of being thrown into a new country. Have you danced (especially Ren) your way through any interesting bars/clubs? Melbourne weather has been all over the place and I hope the sun shines when you land here..V & I are eager to see you and I can't wait to introduce you to Ella-Blu...she's growing every glorious minute. Much love to you both...Aimee xxx |
| 13th November 2006 Laura & Kai | lucky travellers - From: On the road to the Andes we met Paco... Hello Irene & Bruno! Great to read your blog, it is almost like really seeing the wonderful places you are visiting. Not to mention that it makes us want to go travelling so badly! South America seems relly amazing. Enjoy it and keep writing, please! Here all is good if rather boring routine, but we are looking forwad to Xmas, which we'll spend in Milan. We keenly await your next entry and send you all our best wishes! Laura xxx |
| 5th November 2006 Atika Moubset | Missing you guys - From: Tango, Rugby and Steak.. Hi Irene & Bruno Just to update you Joshua is nearly one year old and he has started walking and has teeths now, time has gone so quickly. We are planning to have a party for him on the 26th a week later than his birthday 19th but I shall have you in mind with me. Missing you so much back in London. Enjoying your trip commentaries and wishing I was there. Lots of love and hugs, Atika |
| 2nd November 2006 Raf and Els belgium | Salkantay trip - From: Take our breath away By surfing the web while searching for some peru travel stories, we all of a sudden recognised you guys on the photo and were very surprised you have a full travel diary about your trip. Are ways separated in Puno, Lake Titica. We don't know why but we realised afterwards we didn't say goodbye anymore. Anyway we enjoy the pictures from where you guys are now and we wish you a nice and save trip on your way to Australia. |
| 25th October 2006 Nawel | Potatoes - From: Carnivore's paradise Hello ! I was also surprised by the huge variety of potatoes. Some I had never seen before in my life. Reminded me that there is a Centro Internacional de la Papa in Lima and a Museo de la Papa !(http://www.cipotato.org/news_index.asp). It's grey and rainy in London :)) |
| 23rd October 2006 martin di maino | keep our culture alive - From: Tango, Rugby and Steak.. Hi...I am argentinian...just wanted to say that with our coffee culture and italian influence and more ice cream parlours per inhabitant as any city in the world, the day we have sturcbucks ( I guess we have some hagen dasz) I will cry for our loss of our soul....It would be the same as pizza hut opening in the centre of napoli...i have nightmares about that day |
| 20th October 2006 Nawel | - From: More desert and star gazing Hi Guys ! Happy to see you made it to Atacama. Isn't AMAZING ? Very curious to find out what's the place you stayed at with all the telescopes. Wishing you safe travels. Your blog is awesome. Take care |
| 19th October 2006 Aimee | Wanderlust - From: More desert and star gazing Always eager to read your travels when I get your travelblog alert. Totally love the experiences you're going through almost feel like I'm there. Also sharing your blog with some of the staff from work who are eager to get a taste of South America. Wondering if you guys were high on peyotes as a colleague & I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out 'the rabbit' on the moon. Keep up the travels, stay safe and can't wait to see you in Melbourne. Love from Aimee, Dave & Ella-Blu |
| 12th October 2006 Paula Kandimaa | Missing you at the office! - From: Expect the Unexpected Hi there, We were just talking about you at lunch and complaining that Capita is more and more boring these days. We have all started to speak to ourselves to make up for the lack of the crazy lady! The trip sounds absolutely amazing and I'm so impressed that you are taking the time to document it like this, it must make for a fantastic album for the future. Have a great rest of your trip and while you ride horses and live the adventure, we'll be desk-jockeys and follow your blog with jealousy. /Paula |
| 10th October 2006 jens | i loved salar de uyuni - From: Expect the Unexpected hi guys, i take quite a keen interest in this stage of your journey cos inge and i went to la paz, potosi and salar de uyuni in 2002. i personally think it was the most amazing place i have ever seen in my life.. especially laguna colorada and the other lakes at that altitude level... simply amazing. Enjoy the trip into Chile, I will be checking out your progress. We went from Potosi to Sucre so I will not be able to relate to your experience in Chile any more... |
| 10th October 2006 Frank | - From: Oh linda La Paz Great blog, guys. Just when I started missing you, I'm actually starting to feel as if I'm travelling along ! |
| 9th October 2006 jordi | reizigers! - From: the week ahead right finally managed to get myself sorted out and am now one of your faithful subscribers. look forward to more stories and pictures and I will pop down to oz to see them with live narrative at the earliest opportunity ps: don't get spat on by a llama J |
| 3rd October 2006 Andrew C | Jealous rage - From: Impressions of Peru, Hola Bolivia Hi guys sitting here in comfortable London ain't so cool against the photos of where you are. All looks fantastic & better than the view from the office. Take care. |
| 29th September 2006 Atika | Well Done - From: Take our breath away Hi Irene/Bruno Lovely commentaries on the website, enjoyed reading and looking at the wonderful photos. Well done you conquered Machu Picchu. Love, Atika |
| 28th September 2006 jens | congratulations - From: Take our breath away Well done guys on conquering Machu Picchu. Inge and I went to Bolivia and to Lake Titicaca but never ventured into Peru. The pictures look familiar though: amazing landscapes, hot springs at 4km altitude and crisp sunshine... I wish I was there as well. Enjoy the trip... |
| 28th September 2006 mama | Dear Globetrotters, - From: Take our breath away Bij het lezen over jullie klim naar de top van de Machu Pichu hoor ik opnieuw de woorden van mijn grootvader die hij, in de vorige eeuw, uitsprak : "Een kermis is een geseling waard"! De man was geboren rond de jaren 1870. Schuilt er waarheid in zijn uitspraak, ook al zijn wij zovéél jaren later? De foto's spreken voor zich. Ik geloof echt dat jullie een onvergetelijk avontuur beleven inclusief de psychische en fysische inspanningen. En dat wij een knappe schoondochter hebben is duidelijk. Vanuit mijn luie stoel verslind ik gulzig jullie reisverslagen en -in gedachten- strompel ik naast jullie die laatste honderden meters verder naar de top om dan woordenloos, maar in-gelukkig de wereld te aanschouwen....! |
| 27th September 2006 peter | your travel - From: Take our breath away veel geluk op uw reis. ik volg jullie op de voet reeds mooie fotos hopelijk nog veel meer |

| 19th September 2006 Ward | Felicitación! - From: birthday in Lima Hi there! What a great idea to create this blog to share with us some of this wonderful experience. This must be a very special birthday for you; take in all the best it has to offer! Besides, I wish both of you lots of nice food, company, discoveries, business flights and good stories during the rest of your second honeymoon. BTW, I don't know much about it but I recently heard someone talking about "Isla de la Plata, the Ecuadorian Galàpagos". Perhaps it's worth to consider a trip overthere if it can somehow fit in your tighltly run "business schedule". Whether it's a good deal or not shall be closely monitored by your agent in LLN who still cherishes the emotional goodbye party in Antwerp. ma'a salama! |
| 17th September 2006 Mama | HAPPY BIRTHDAY - From: birthday in Lima Jarig in Lima! Dat is uniek in een mensenleven. Geniet dus samen met Rinita van ieder uur, iedere minuut, iedere stap in deze stad! Nu wij terug in Châteauneuf zijn volgen wij uw doen en laten op de voet: mooie foto's! En dit is nog maar het begin van de trip. Dat beloofd!Proost!!!!!!! |
