| 14th September 2008 gabriella | not a praying mantis - From: Costa Fortune Sorry to tell you that you are holding a grasshoper and not a praying mantis in your photo... I love Costa Rica, your trip seemed to be great |
| 1st September 2008 Mum | O'r diwedd! - From: A race through Honduras What a fantastic adventure!! Well done,Ruth. Looking forward to seeing both of you soon. |
| 29th August 2008 Ruth from Wales | route - From: A race through Honduras Hi Ben, thanks for the advice. Unfortunately (with big regrets!) we have had to cut El Salvador from our itinerary. Big time constraints just meant that we can't fit it in. Next time..!! |
| 28th August 2008 Ben | your trip - From: A race through Honduras You need to go o El Salvador before heading to Guatemala. If you plan in goig to Guatemala and then El Salvador you will have to go back and then go into a country you had already been in. So go to El Salvador through la Palma and go to Suchitoto from there you can go west and visit the north west little towns of El Salvador (Ruta de las Flowers) then get in to Guatemala and from there to Belize. Be safe and good luck to you. |

| 25th July 2008 Ruth from Wales | Panama - From: Moving on up I couldn't agree more! Definitely an understimated destination. |
| 24th July 2008 peterson | petersona72@gmail.com - From: Moving on up While Panama is known mostly for its famous canal, the country's natural attractions offer an irresistible lure to far-sighted travelers. This oft-overlooked country offers some of the finest birding, snorkeling and hiking in the Americas |

| 18th June 2008 tjp765 | Lucky Girl - From: My early years Hey, I am commenting because of the great Welsh people. Some many yrs ago, I enjoyed the memorable day hitching up the middle of Wales. No one went anywhere, but everyone gave us a ride for a mile or two. So on it goes... I am on my way to Quito for 5 weeks in South America. If by chance you happen to be in SoCal afterwards, contact me, I owe the Welsh a favor. Free place to hang and sail if you like TP |

| 19th May 2008 Carolyn Taylor | Another Cusco lover... - From: Cusco: a difficult place to leave Having just spent over 3 1/2 weeks in Cusco I loved reading your blog.

| 4th April 2008 barrygahan | Strong cocktails... - From: Bolivia's Colonial Cities - and a little social commentary They may have blown your socks off but I felt fine! |
| 2nd April 2008 carolyn | salt - From: This place is unboliviable...! And they say too much salt isn't good for you! Great to see you both looking so fit and well. Those rock formations look a bit Madagascan I must say. Did the air taste like being by the sea? |

| 29th March 2008 AnnaAdventuring | Lovely pictures - From: It takes your breath away: adventures in the Atacama Desert Beautiful photography again. What camera do you use? |
| 29th March 2008 AnnaAdventuring | WOW! - From: It's February, must be time for Easter... Oh wow! Easter Island... my dream destination. Thank you so much for sharing your trip and your gorgeous photos. It's been great travelling with you - hopefully I'll get there myself one day! :) |
| 24th March 2008 Andy | Very impressed! - From: It takes your breath away: adventures in the Atacama Desert Hi Guys We just wanted to say we're well impressed with the hike up to 5600m you did. In our first few days in Bolivia we were staying at 4000m and hiked up to just over 4600 and it really took it out of us. Know exactly what you mean about stopping every 20 paces. The peak sounds like an excellent find; I think we'll be checking out summitpost when we get to Peru. Not sure how long you're planning to stay in Bolivia but we really recommend Sajama national park if you get the chance. To get there you need to go to Patacamaya on the La Paz-Orouro road and find the minibus to Tambo Quemado/Sajama (Must leave around midday, 1pm). From there, well throw yourselves into the welcoming arms of the locals and enjoy the scenery. Cheers Andy and Gill |
| 22nd March 2008 Stephen Paul | I'll Say - From: It takes your breath away: adventures in the Atacama Desert My breath was taken away! It seems I follow your blogs because you are such a nature lover- your pictures are of the things I notice and want to see not random travel shots! youve captured the mystique of The North of Chile here, even though Ive never been... I that much closer to it from your blog! Cheers.. |
| 13th March 2008 barrygahan | On a point of grammar - From: A visit from home - time to be spoilt! Shouldn't it be "with Barry and me acting as tour guides" rather than "with Barry and I". Haha, only kidding babe, great blog and I think your pics are better than mine again! |
