trip to Norway I loved looking at your pictures as I lived in Norway for 6 years.I have been to the summit of a lot of their high peaks and beseggen is one of them. My family and I made the 9 hour trek with our family dog. She loved it but was the most tired I have ever seen her. She is a Norwegian flat coated retriever. Born and Bred in Stavanger. Looking at the pictures made me homesick for that beautiful country.
Thanks for sharing.
Airplanes Hey, you guy's had engines on your plane back from zanzibar?!? whoa, impressing, first class all the way I can tell!! well, with kenya airways you get to sit with all your luggage on your lap. Didn't get to do that, did you?! muahaha.....
Hey! Ian! That's great that you met up with half of the Inca group. I saw Hanna (one of the Swedes) in Sweden after we left Peru. Hopefully I'll run into you guys again sometime. I'll shoot you an email next time i'm in London. Take care.

what took you so long? I was wondering how long it would be before you had to get back out there! Let us know when we'll see you back out here in San Fran for a slightly less posh holiday.
Reward Kili "not nearly as rewarding.." The Gold Diploma of mine is now laminated and hanging behind a glass wall in the middle of the living room. I had to remove the herring head which previously filled that honoroble position. Dont cry sport. Will take the Ubamwe route next year!
Great wrap - now eagerly awaiting my autographed printed edition of the travel blog! Welcome back to "the real world" (in a Matrix sort of way, I'm sure it still feels... Love, Andria :)
good fun ian, i've really enjoyed your journal since i happened upon it while perusing for tales from brazil. it reminds me a bit of "inka cola", whose author's name i have forgotten, but which is similarly entertaining and funny. enjoy costa rica. i lived there for a year and loved it. costa ricans rival the brazilians in their friendly, open manner. i recommend a hike thru rincon de la vieja. plus it's small--you can see virtually every corner and be amazed by how much you've done. in any event, keep writing it all down. please. best, jen.
Superman Pose! I had one of those pictures done in a booth in Blackpool once except I was on Del Boys back. No really, it looks awesome mate, for a small dude you've got some screaming balls of steel.
Thanks Hey Ian, Looks like you really had an amazing adventure through South America. I had a great time going over table manners with you and Chris during our Inca Trail hike. If for some reason you find yourself in San Antonio, Texas then you have a friend and a free place to stay here. Take care.
Your friend,
Jeremy
cojones So, Alex is off the hook. Yada yada. Lot's of chat Ian; it looks like you're trying to delay the inevitable. Let us move on: Eat some testicles, Ian. I seem to remember Alex eating some dodgy bone marrow, after all. You owe him this.
The chippy comment... ...didn't come from Alex, but from a place that I believe youngsters call 'Cyber-space' in their vernacular. Alex apologises anyway for other bad things he has done.
Alex apologises for being arsey... ...and he also seems to be wrong. Hardly a meal has gone by without a waitress engouraging me to have a testicle (I may be mistranslating their responses).
Getting robbed Just after finishing this and downloading the pix, my camera was nicked by a gang (I feel the collective noun should be 'bunchofwankers') of professional thieves. My conversational spanish is coming on a treat, and I discussed wine and Bolivan women with the policeman, but not, unfortunately, the whereabouts of my camera. I haven't tried the cojones yet, but hear they are especially nice when cooked 'al dente'.
Hi, I'm Ian, 30 years old and travelling to get in touch with my inner self and to learn about different cultures. Actually, that's not strictly true - I just wanted a long holiday and to get drunk in new and interesting locations. Click through for insightful commentary on my travels around the world, with sometimes detailed exposition on my gastric situation. Oh, and pictures too.
