Pantanal looks great Hi,
Great blog and brilliant photos. We are heading towards the Pantanal now, can you recommend the lodge you stayed at? Was it worth the money? We are just starting to do our homework now and there appears to be a lot of choices. If you can give us some more pointers it would be greatly appreciated.
Happy safe travels, and keep up the great blogging.
Shelley and Scott
Excellent account of hell! Your writing really brings alive the hell endured by the miners and also the history of the city, putting it all in very good context. Bravo!
Great Photos Read your blog with interest, looks amazing and beautiful. Enjoyed catching a glimpse of Rachel's knee in the scary cage over the river. (Rachel's Mum!)
I can understand that people have different tolerances of the day to day grind of the road... and hope that Alex's parting was amicable. I think my Linda would have given up much sooner on the itinerary you are taking. We also allow each other to travel separately if one just doesn't feel like going on.
Excellent marvels Wow--great photos, as well as great info on all things Incan. I'd never seen photos of the handles on the stone blocks, nor had I seen (only read about) the salt flats (inspiring description of cooperation there) or the "experimental" gardens--which to me seemed more like a place where they might have planted sacred herbs/plants for ceremonies. Also, good for you for continuing the adventure alone--maybe not so easy, but still loads of fun.
Evocative Prose I've read many descriptions of MP, but you painted one of the richest, most evocative ones; very funny, too. How great that you got to trek up there; after all, there are about 40,000 kilometers of Inca roadways--why take the one most traveled? Great photos, too--thanks!
Congratulation! We enjoyed your amazing pics of the climb! Well done, congrats! This is one thing we want to do in the future. Greetings from Switzerland, Nina + Mark
Hilarious photo of the imported Scandinavian fertilizer--ironic, indeed. One of my favorite books is "Alchemy of Air" detailing what happened in this part of Chile and around the world prior to, during, and after Haber and Bosch's world-altering chemistry, so it's great to read a blogger's present-day, surreal experience walking through an abandoned city. Thanks again and looking forward to future blogs. :)
los encontre!! William! no se si me recuerdan pero fui con uds a un tour aqui en Chiloé...a isla mechuque.. espero que su viaje siga a la perfeccion, les mando muchos abrazos y buenas vibras...
pasenlo super!!
Que triste... Oi William
Que post mais triste esse seu. Sempre tem um idiota que se acha o máximo e que, para chamar a atenção, não mede suas ações e principalmente não se importa com as consequências.
Triste...

Gol x Golf Oi William
Está sendo muito legal ler as suas aventuras. A propósito, tive que rir qdo vc falpu sobre a economia da letra "F" no Gol x Golf hehehehe
O Gol é mesmo um carro diferente e a história dele, uma paixão brasileira. Veja mais em
http://bestcars.uol.com.br/cpassado3/vw-gol-voyage-parati-saveiro-1.htm
Se vc seguir por umas 5 páginas, vai ver a evolução do Gol no Brasil. Note que o Golf talvez até seja uma linha desenvolvida paralelamente no fim dos anos 80, mas só surge no Brasil na década de 90, se não me engano.
No mais, eu tb poderia dormir naquele ônibus-leito hehehe
Boa viagem, beijos pra Alex.
yay! Unsurprisingly I particularly liked this blog entry! The wetlands look gorgeous - totally amazing. Capybaras and caymens- brill. Thanks LOTS for the lovely brom pic too. Following your adventures closely. loads of love Tx
thank you I came across your blog while reading up on PBX who happened to be my great-grandfather (so I'm told) - I have left the country in 98 and reading your blog certainly brings back memories. I thouroughly enjoyed reading all your posts. Thank you.
We live to travel - and we travel to live. We've been exploring the globe together for the past 13 years - and there's still so much to see. In March 2013 we moved from the United Kingdom to the other side of the globe - our new home is Tasmania and we look forward to getting to know this gorgeous part of the world.
