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..!!

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.

Panama - 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

Fun, fun, fun! - From: A great city to finish our time in South America
You look like you are having so much fun. I guess you'll miss the high altitude walks though. It's hot and sunny here but dressing moderately means I'm not getting a tan! And it's hard work too!!!!

I am not keen on treking, but I almost think it would be worth it to see some of the things you saw in the Jungle. :)

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

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. We actually lived on Calle Belen so the market on Matara was a haven for us also. We did use the huge San Pedro Market for most fruits and veggies. We left Sat. and niss Cusco already.Carolyn ( blogger name'gunga')

Camera - From: In search of an Inca city (and maybe a bear) in deepest, darkest Peru
Thanks all for the kind comments. The camera I have is a very dull point & click Canon Powershot A460, 5MP, 4x zoom. I would absolutely love to get a digital SLR but that will have to wait until this trip is over and I have a job again!

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?

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

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..

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!
