Vodka at 11am! Nothing has changed then :) Looks like you are having a great (and hot) time.
To update you, I will be a homeowner on Monday, crack open the champers and celebrate :D
Keep up the good blogging.

Thanks Mike, it's been a real pleasure to read your blog and get a bit of a flavour about what you're doing. Vicarious travelling won't catch on but you might have a future writing travel guides! See you back in Blighty then...
Bird of Paradise? Arse mate - that's a Hoatzin. Related to Archaeopteryx, archaic bird straight out of Jurassic Park. Young ones still have rudimentary claws and climb trees when they fall out of the nest. Damn stupid things and ugly as my butt. Extinction should be round the corner really...
Cheers for all the updates dude! Enough to make me think of travelling sometime, even though I'm probably well past it. Loved the tale of a marathon runner travelling half way round the world to eat yet more spaghetti.

I was at Nexen yesterday At Nexen yesterday for a TCM on Selkirk. Joel is still missing you .... I guess you'll be back soon enough, but remember you'll always have the memories, the photos and the blisters to remind you!!!!
33-10 Hi Mike,
Looks like you are having fun, in your absence the Welsh have fluked a grand slam, your hero Paisley has retired and most importantly England beat Ireland 33-10.
The next time you decide to have an extended holiday can you set up the fantasy six nations league prior to leaving? Awooga
Nice Mike
Real good to see the 'thumbs up' picture, if you hadn't posted this on at least one of your blogs I wouldn't have believed it was actually YOU in S. America.

News from home Its all quite depressing really-
Oil is at $107/bl
House prices have stagnated
Northern Rock's been nationalised
Paisley's retired (read: never, never, never - well he has)
back in Switzerland Hi Mike, don't stop writing this. I'm back home and enjoy good coffee, nice bred and my own toilette.Next time,we travel with you...you have always nice experiences.We didn't have so much luck in Peru-except the north coast of Peru (Mancora) was o.k.There we had a little bit of sun for our last 3 days.Take care and cu soon.
Re: Still Reading Flat tyre? If thats the worst that´s wrong with it when i get back i will be happy.
Throttling giant guinea pigs sounds highly ecologically sound. I think i booked with the wrong company. I was basing my company selection on them having a guide that looked most like Steve Irwin.
Pink Dolphins Are you having us on with the Pink Dolphins? Seems to be lots of crocs in their, Angus would love it. Can you bring one back for him?
As you may know by now England thrashed France at the weekend which puts us back in contention.
Keep enjoying it.Lee
Yeah I am still reading them. Keep up the good work. Pictures are amazing, I'm glad my camera is working so well for you :)
I do fancy a cold beer in a hammock however, damn work comes first though. This day week I will be back in Ireland though!

Still Reading... We're still here and reading the blog, Mike. I was in Rurrenabaque once - witnessed a man throttle a giant guinea pig with his big toe. Like Ray Mears meets WWF.
Whats going on here - your car has a big flat tyre (bet you are glad you left it my caring hands). But, on the plus side, someone has offered to buy it!!!
See you soon. Jon
I don't want to steal your thunder but I went to the CO-OP yesterday for my weekly shop. It was terrfic!
Hope you are having a great time mate. Looks amazing!
Update since our last trip ended: We got back to the UK from our fantastic year travelling in June 2011. We spent the summer in the UK catching up with friends during a "glorious" English summer. To keep the thrill of discovering new places alive, we decided to look for work outside the UK, so home since October 2011 has been The Hague in The Netherlands, which we are looking forward to exploring in the near future.....
Oh, and of course there is the small matter of a wedding to organise!
Watch this space for future travels and thanks to everyone who has checked in over the last y... full info
