| 19th August 2009 Rich Crewe | Onwards to Liverpool - From: Toronto, Canada You are going to hit the ground hard when you get back there mate, I bet it takes time to adjust for you. See you in a couple of weeks for a beer or two in either Manchester or scouseville |
| 18th August 2009 Stephen | Wine! For sure - From: Toronto, Canada Hey, I'm from Canadian wine coutry, we make some great white and reds, plus ice wine! Shocking the Ameican's don't let our vino into the the USA. Guess California is afraid :) Glad to you had a blast in Canada! Hopefully we'll see you next year on the playa. |
| 15th August 2009 brenda | wow - From: Northern Peru all the way to Bogota It was very interesting reading your blog. It looks like your having quite the adventure. I am going to ecuador in dec with a girlfriend of mine it sounds like the bus ride could be not that safe thanks for the tip about the cutting of the bottom of the purse. Do you think it would be safe for two girls to rent a car and see ecuador. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers |
| 22nd July 2009 Alan J | - From: Arrival in Manaus and Farewell to Colombia Sad its coming to an end - enjoy your last week! One question though - doesn't Colombia control 100% of Columbia's cocaine market? :) |
| 11th July 2009 Sam | Read it - From: Bogota & the Carribean Coast yeah yeah, I've read a few, only the bits about me though :) which in this episode is just bitching. I'm quite surprised you don't stick a 'Northern Ireland connection'at the end of every entry to be honest! and maybe a 'connection to Man U'too. Haha, very good blog Thomas. (ps: for any one wanting to look him up the artists name is Botero - has some really cool stuff, good exhibits in both Bogota and Medellin) |
| 9th July 2009 Rich Crewe | - From: Arrival in Manaus and Farewell to Colombia Colombia apparently controls 80% of the worlds Colombian cocaine market. Tommy who controls the rest of the Colombian cocaine market then? The Smurfs? |
| 29th June 2009 JB CHAS | Second World Cathedral - From: Bogota & the Carribean Coast I own a wood carving of quechas indios riding horses up to paradise. I have been told that the "second cathedral of the world" was pillaged by F. Drake and that the item is from there. Was this cathedral in Bogota or Cartagena, I don't know. |
| 29th June 2009 daniel | IRA - From: Bogota & the Carribean Coast Not sure if you stood long enough to notice, but in Colombia there's a rock band named IRA so it probably graffittis may be talking about that one but i don't know the context so |

| 9th February 2009 Maria | Buenos Aires - Lujan Zoo - From: Districts of BA & Colonia Just came across your blog about your travels in BA. I'd like to make one suggestion - the Lujan Zoo. I went in August and it was an amazing experience. It's basically a petting zoo except the petting doesn't stop at chicks and bunny rabbits - you can actually pet lions and tigers, as well as ride an elegant and camel. When my friends and family saw the pictures they thought I was insane but I'd do it again in a heart beat! Hope you can make it there! |

I actually could have told you alot of that stuff as me and Cler were watching a programme on Bueno Aires just t'other night. Looked an amazing place. There is some really dodgey shanty town place which I can't remember the name of, however, apparently they love the Irish and encourage them to enter after dark. Give it a try ;-) |

| 8th January 2009 Lauren | BA tips! - From: Home in Belfast - Preparing to Go Hey, I'm from belfast too. Been travelling with my boyfrined for nearly five months now. Spent about three of them in south america. it is so class! We stayed at the lime house hostel in BA on avendia 9 de julio. If you want to party hard for a few days then it is the place to go. Great for meeting loads of people too. You should also def go to san telmo on a sunday during the day for the markets there and also at night for a great atmosphere and some tango on the streets. Have fun! |
