Colombia or Columbia? The name of th country is Colombia not Columbia, Columbia is a university, please read the signs while you're down there and you'll see the correct spelling.
happy travels
Hey Dave,
Sounds like you're having fun...hammocks aside! Just thought I should let you know that im sitting here watching Gordon Brown's Labour Party conference speech. Viva Labour!
Hope you're keeping well.
Much love

You have the Amazon, we have Autumn Hey Dave,
I am so envious of your 37 degree temperatures. No matter how terrible you make it out to be I would love the opportunity to winge about it being too hot instead or not hot enough.
Over here I have accepted that Summer has come to an end, what summer there was. Although today is quite sunny and pretty it's not warm and the trees are starting to lose their leaves now.
But, I should remember that nearly this time last year on the 6th of September we had gorgeous red hot weather so it could get better. And it was also nearly a year ago I was in Belem too under the hot sun, although that was Belem in Portugal.
Like you, when we were in Lisbon, I loved just watching the local people going about their lives. We stayed in the old part of town called Alfama and all the houses were tiled and there would be washing hanging down from the apartments above the restaurants where we ate outside. I must be very different from where you are now but it was things like that, that I really enjoyed seeing.
I'm really excited for you starting your journey down the amazon. I saw an advert last night for a new tv series on bbc 2 about some adverture/survival dude travelling down the amazon, so I'm planning on watching it so i can see where you've been / are going.
Better get back to work now, this is meant to be a 'comment' not an 'essay'.
Take Care,
Try not to get eaten by any exotic animals or killed by killers.
Love
Kate
I'm not your parent but bloody hell Dave, that's just typical of you. Sunstroke I mean. What did I tell you about not taking the batman suit off. Not only are you burned but now everyone knows his weakness, factor nil. lol, Sounds amazing though mate. Particularly as we seem to be having a weather crisis at home.
Thanks! Hey Clan,
I really enjoyed reading your post about my city... It's hard to find a gringo talking about Rio with so much passion.
Thanks for making me proud of being Brazilian (actually, "carioca", if you know what I mean).
I hope you enjoy your stay in Salvador, it's a really nice place too!
Regards,
Safira.
Hi David
I have not forgotten about you and have read all of your blogs in one sitting. I am so jealous. I wish I was travelling with you. You make it sound so amazing and your humour really shines through. I ad to look up what you had said about your back as I had never hear of it. Amazing thing the internet. All I can say is ouch and you must be very hairy!! Perhaps you can get a braziilian while you are there! hahahahah..
Very busy with the cookstudio and catering. Made a decision recently only to work for clients who are willing to pay my full price and no more freebies. This decision came from having a head on car crash two weeks ago. I was lucky to walk away with no injuries. Car is a bit trashed though!!!It makes you look at life very differently. Have the best time ever as you never know when it is not going to be there anymore!
Look forward to the next installment. Big kiss Juliaxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the pleasures of the grape hi dave, a person who considers themselves to know something of the value of the grape, is called a wino. sometimes a pedaling wino. all in all you seem to having a great time, maybe you'll sing your way around the world. regards roger
Put some music in your food! Hello!
Wine tour sounds brilliant and the kareoke too.
Not quite the same but Anthony and I are thinking about going pony trekking when we go to the lakes for our anniversary, that's as near as we will get to your horse riding in the Black Mountains.
Main reason for writing this is the exciting news that you probably won't know about. Subway now do a Chicken Reagge Reagge Sub! Yes, with the proper Levi Roots sauce and everything! I haven't tried one yet but will let you know what it's like. See, you don't have to go abroad to try something new!!!
Bet you can't wait to get back now.
Take Care xx
Ola?!, that's Spanish for how do?! Were setting off for our world trip on June 30th 2008! First stop Argentina for some skiing and steak, then a tour of South America; Brazil (whole length of Amazon River and some footy in Rio), Peru (Inca trail, can't wait), Bolivia (Lake Titicaca) and Chile (nice Vino!). 5 months later we'll be in NZ for a month. We'll be there for Christmas and fingers crossed they'll be filming The Hobbit (I could see myself as an Orc or a Troll!). Then Oz for 4 months (not going to mention cricket, but I think it'd be rude not to talk about rugby to our Oz friends!). Star... full info
