It brings back some good memories for us. Thank you :). Your pictures are a cut above the rest. |
| 4th October 2009 Carolyn Taylor | Brave ladies! - From: The way from Machu Picchu - barricaded roads, hiking along railway tracks and meeting Moses, our guardian angel Whew! What a trek! I admire your guts and especially Shirley's going all that trekking with bad knees. Been there and done that not once but 3 times and it sure isn't easy. Yout pictures are amazing- very interesting angles and views. Thanks.Carolyn |
| 1st October 2009 the soul cultivator | Beautiful work - From: The Sacred Valley part 1: Inca ruins, colourful markets and stubborn llamas Its been a joy going back over your epic journey and your photography is just breath taking, just like the Cusco air! |
| 1st October 2009 Willow | Almost there... - From: Return to Lake Titicaca.... again! Hey Tara, really glad to hear you're enjoying my blogs... I'm just rather bad at keeping up to date with them!!! The next one will be Machu Picchu, promise! |
| 1st October 2009 Tara | Where are you? - From: Return to Lake Titicaca.... again! I've been following your fantastic blogs, and I'd like to read about your Machu Picchu trip. However, here it is almost October and no word. Are you OK? |
| 23rd September 2009 Dawn Smallwood | Love the sunsets! - From: Return to Lake Titicaca.... again! You take some great photos of the sunsets. Love the colours. Happy travels, Dawn |
| 15th September 2009 Helen | Bringing back memories! - From: From colonial architecture to condors and the climb that nearly killed me - a week in Arequipa! Hi Wendy - this entry is bringing back so many memories for me - the Colca canyon hike up nearly broke me too, far harder than the Inca trek. It looks like we stayed at the same home-stay on the first night. Love it. |
| 15th September 2009 Wanderly Wagon | Colca Canyon - From: From colonial architecture to condors and the climb that nearly killed me - a week in Arequipa! Hey, did the colca canyon a few months ago. The last day is possibly the hardest climb I've ever done. Cool blog. |
| 2nd September 2009 Rosco Pennell | Great descriptive writing - From: Looking for Max, breaking down (again...) and other Salar adventures Hi Wendy, I run Rosco's Rocky Road Adventure Rides on motorcycles, out of NZ, through Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. I also have a blog, www.mytb.org/rosco-p we have many of the same photos, only mine some times also feature a motocycle or two. I love your descriptive writing and attention to detail. I do my blog on the run, so do appreciate your blog. I just love this area of Boliviaun abrazo, Rosco |
| 2nd September 2009 Melissa | Love, love, LOVE your blog - From: Looking for Max, breaking down (again...) and other Salar adventures Hi there. I don't know you at all but you sure seem like an interesting woman! I'm an avid South American traveller and came across your blog quite by accident. I now find myself completely hooked on your adventuress and your awesome writing. I got a good laugh out of the references to organization, South American style...after three trips to the continent, I'd have to agree! |
| 1st September 2009 tara | Antarctica in June? - From: How 10 hours became 23... the joys of travelling Bolivia by bus! I'm heading to south America for a couple of years of traveling and find your blog and photos the BEST! I'm so surprised to see that you cruised Antarctica in June. All the books/sites say it's not possible. Were you really there then, or was there a long time-lapse between travel and blogging. |
| 31st August 2009 David Phillips | Railway stations - From: Turbans and trains: Bundi to Mumbai Just to let other future visitors to Bundi know, there is a railway station there. Its just outside the town on the south side. I was taken there on the back of a motorbike by our haveli owner . Unfortunately, the Udaipur train goes to Kota, not Bundi. |
| 31st August 2009 Danielle | Fantastic - From: Rwanda and the mountain gorillas Thanks for this wonderful blog! You said all the things I thought the first time I went to Rwanda. I've only been to Kigali, but I will be there next week and plan to do the gorilla trek. |
| 31st August 2009 heraclio | good read - From: Riding the Gringo trail: From Goa to Hampi by train brings me back to my own weeks in Karnataka though Hambi was rarely touched by foreign visitors then having to stay in rock bottom accomodation by nesecity rather then by choise. Hans/ heraclio on this ide. |
| 26th August 2009 LivingTheDream | Nice review! - From: How 10 hours became 23... the joys of travelling Bolivia by bus! Hey, been reading your blog-entries for a while now, and really like them, highly recommended! Greetings from (currently) Indonesia, Ben |
| 24th August 2009 Suzanne | Antarctica - From: Antartica part 1: Rock and roll on the Drake Shake Hi Wendy, I was wondering if you could help me out. I have been having a difficult time trying to find the right company to travel with to Antarctica. I have been given price quotes of $6000 and I feel that it could be so much less. Would you reccomend the boat and company you went with? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Suzanne |
| 18th August 2009 steve cassidy | Antarctica advice - From: Antarctica part 3: Leopard seals, icebergs and back to Ushuaia Hi Wendy, great photo's, myself and my new better half are looking to go on a similiar cruise for our honeymoon, can you please let us know which company you went with and any information you think would be useful. Happy travels and all the best Steve and Suzanne |

| 30th July 2009 Zach Wegner | Hello from Atacama - From: Street art or graffiti??! Valparaiso and the way north Hey! Love the blog. I'm on here, too. I currently live in the Atacama desert in Caldera. It's a ways from San Pedro (which is where I'm guessing you're going) but I've been there and it's amazing! Enjoy! |
| 29th July 2009 Nate | Valparaiso - From: Street art or graffiti??! Valparaiso and the way north Oh man, these pictures of Valparaiso really bring back some good memories of back in February when I was there. I really loved that city, the graffiti is just amazing. You could walk for days on that hill, down alleyways and never see the same artwork twice. |
| 13th July 2009 Melissa | - From: Argentina - Orcas, Swiss Cholocate and the bike ride that nearly killed me Hi Wendy :) You don't know me and I found you by mistake! I am a fellow wander-luster and I live in Ottawa, Canada. I'm currently planning my next trip and found your blog when I was surfing. I have been to South America three times and will be coming back in September 2010....it's such an amazing place to travel. I'm going to follow your blog to see what's up for you. Happy trails! |

| 10th June 2009 Darren | Nice Blog - From: Antartica part 1: Rock and roll on the Drake Shake Very nice blog :-) Can I ask the name of the boat you used, how much it cost you and if you arranged it on the spot, or pre-arranged the trip... Cheers for your help. Daz :-) |

| 30th May 2009 Travis Knoll | Interesting... - From: Four days in Buenos Aries I found your entry on Buenos Aires very interesting...I am a foreign exchange student with AFS located in La Plata one hour outside of Buenos Aires. I am glad you had the time to see so many of the sites in this extrodinary city. Especially the Cathedrals which are among the best in the world I think. Pensé que tu commentario sobre Buenos Aires era muy interesante. Soy un estudiante intercambio Estados Unidense viviendo en La Plata, un ciudad que es un hora para llegar desde Buenos Aires. Estoy feliz que tenías tiempo para veer tan mucho de los lugares. Sobretodo los catedrals cual son entre los mejores en del mundo pienso. |
| 30th May 2009 EdVallance | Great blog, thanks - From: Four days in Buenos Aries I lived in La Boca for 5 months back in 2005 and your writing and photos brought back fond memories. Have prices really gone up that much though? When I was there, everything was like three or four times cheaper than in Europe, food, drink, transport and accommodation included |
| 20th April 2009 MargaretL | Thank you! - From: Teapots, beaches and the end of my India adventure I've so enjoyed sharing your Indian adventures. My own (more limited) experiences were in Southern India, which I loved, but your tales brought back memories. The only snag with your last 2 blogs was that the photos didn't display. It happened in my last but one blog too, but they then appeared, which yours haven't. A shame, but I'll check again later to see if they've turned up. Good luck with the next stage of your adventure |
| 4th April 2009 piyush katariya | - From: Udaipur thnx of describing my Ondia so worthly......... so are such a good photographer................. .............each photo tells a history................. |
| 4th April 2009 aashish | Pictures - From: Udaipur Pictures taken by you are awesome. Seems that you guys are professional photographers. I live in rajasthan but never seen these places so wonderfully captured on camera before. |
| 24th March 2009 fadli | nice place, - From: First class travel on the Tazara Express and biting ants in the Usambara Mountains - Tanzania part 1 i excited to going a beautiful place....i like it... your sincerly" fadli |
| 20th March 2009 Donna and Neil | Agra to Jaipur train - same experience as you! - From: The Pink City, Bollywood and bangles We had exactly the same problem as you with that train...no-one told us though that it is always late so we sat on the station platform for 6 hours waiting for the train to arrive in the freezing cold, watching the times move by an hour every half hour! At least you got out on the bus...maybe we should hae done that too! Enjoy the rest of India. |
| 8th March 2009 Margaret | Great blog! - From: Smuggling contrabanned into the Taj Mahal I had a month in South India last year, and just happened upon your blog recently when I was completing one of my own. Love reading about what you're doing seeing and experiencing - brings back lots of memories |
| 7th March 2009 steffen | Agra and around - From: Smuggling contrabanned into the Taj Mahal I loved the photos from the Taj and Fatephur Sikri, they brought back fond memories of one of my best holidays ever. Enjoy Jaipur's Hawa Mahal and the other sights! PS We had 10cm of snow last night here in Germany |

| 25th February 2009 Buddhaboy | What self restraint! - From: Forts, palaces, temples and a marraige proposal - a week in Madhya Pradesh I really like your blog. Good on you for being able to talk about the other great things in Madhya Pradesh, as opposed to me who giggled like a schoolboy in my blog about Khajuraho. Isn't Orchha great? I couldn't believe it wasn't more famous on the backpacker trail. |
| 16th February 2009 helen | MacDonalds! - From: Forts, palaces, temples and a marraige proposal - a week in Madhya Pradesh Do you think there is a connection between your upset stomachs and the Maccie D's veggie burgers? te he he... what present did your persistant boyf give you? |
| 14th February 2009 liliram | Good story, Good Photos - From: Forts, palaces, temples and a marraige proposal - a week in Madhya Pradesh Hope you are feeling better now. Sad to think you were "chased out of town" by a marriage proposal. Well, maybe next time you can play up an imaginary fiancee who works as intelligence officer in the military, or some guy who earns a living giving sharpshooting lessons. Not sure if that will work , but let's see if that drives them away. |
| 10th February 2009 Aileen | - From: Cow poo, cow poo and more…. walking the streets of Varanasi... carefully Fab pictures! I've been to see the border change - it is quite amusing and a bit weird to be segragated! |
| 10th February 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Cow poo, cow poo and more…. walking the streets of Varanasi... carefully Your blog makes for fascinating reading. I really enjoyed it. I visited Amritsar 4 years ago but have never made it to Varanasi. Thanks for sharing your experiences. :) |
| 4th February 2009 Helen | Lucky - From: Lions, waterfalls and Uganda ooo, lucky thing, you got to see Shoebill storks in the wild AND lots of white rhino! Brilliant. Your bustrip to nairobi sounds like the stop and searches we had going from Peru to Ecuador so you might get it again! |
| 24th January 2009 steffen | Up, close and personal - From: Rwanda and the mountain gorillas Hi Wendy Your trip to the mountain gorillas sounds like an awsome experience. Great photos as well Enjoy Uganda |
