                    <title>Cali</title>
                    <description>So we'd heard that there was a hostel in Cali that had a pool Pelican Larry. It does have a pool but it doesn't have any water ha ha. It was pretty ugly and the owner wasn't that friendly so we went around the corner to the much cuter Hostal Iguana. Cali was quite a bit warmer than Salento and San Agustin  hurrah The first day we went for a wander around town and found some giant busybody st</description>

                    <title>Salento</title>
                    <description>Salento is a very pretty small town. We decided to stay at a hostel recommended to us by a fellow volunteer in Salasaca. I was called La Serrana or something and it it was a ten minute walk out of town into the hills. It was quite good but although it advertised hot water there wasn't any. And it was chilly. We mentioned it to the owner a New Yorker who told us I know I've changed the cards </description>

                    <title>To Colombia  San Agustin</title>
                    <description>After a third weekend spent in Banos I bid a sad farewell to Salasaca and left with Anna and Adam to go to Colombia. When we arrived in Quito Adam informed us that he'd left his passport back in Salasaca so back he went. He joined us later and we set off the next morning with the aim of getting as far as possible towards San Agustin. We only made it as far as Pasto though and stopped in a rath</description>

                    <description>WARNING This is a long blog.One of the things I had really wanted to do on the trip was to try teaching English. I had planned to do this in Bolivia but it hadn't worked out. After that I looked through volunteersouthamerica.net and found three potential places to teach ENglish. I emailed them and only one of them replied so that's where I went. The organisation is called Sumak Kawsay Yachay </description>

                    <title>Lake Titicaca</title>
                    <description>The morning after we arrived back to Cusco from the Inca Trail Conny Jennie and I got up early again to travel to Puno a city on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca. Puno is not an exciting place but it does have restaurants so of course we partook of some Lake Titicaca trout and pisco sours. The next day we went on a trip to the reed islands on Lake Titicaca. These were pretty fascinating.</description>

                    <title>The Pilgrimage to Macchu Pichu</title>
                    <description>Hurrah I met up with my lovely sister Conny and her friend Jennie in Cusco.  Cusco is a very touristy city. I got a bit of culture shock when I arrived there from La Paz  everyone speaks English and there are shops. There's even a giant North Face in an old building on a square. Could have been Bath. It's proper fancy and clean compared to La Paz. We spent the day paying up for our Inca Trai</description>

                    <title>Huaraz  the Santa Cruz trek</title>
                    <description>Hooray I left Lima on Sunday 23rd May on an 8hour bus journey to Huaraz in the Cordillera Blanca. After about 3 and a half hours we finally left the fogginess that is coastal Peru and began to see some rather lovely landscape. Huaraz is a town surrounded by mountains many of them snowcapped which was levelled during an earthquake in the Seventies. As a consequence its not really much to l</description>

                    <title>Quito Spanish lessons and the view from the Secret Garden</title>
                    <description>What can I say about Quito About three things. 1 The historic centre is very beautiful. 2 Its a dangerous city  hold on to your possessions or better yet dont take them with you better still dont go out. 3 The Secret Garden hostels garden is so secret its invisible. It does have a terrace with a marvellous view of the historic centre the hill with the Panecillo some other hill</description>

                    <title>Choro Trek  La Paz to Coroico</title>
                    <description>The Choro trek is a three day hike from La Cumbre just outside La Paz to some tiny little town near Coroico. You can do it as a tour but since Elina and Barry had all the camping equipment we did it ourselves. Barry couldnt come as he had to work so it was just Elina and me. We set off with two chaps from our hostel who were also doing the hike.  The hike starts off with a steep ascent to som</description>

                    <description>So I havent written any blogs for ages and Im starting with the most recent as its what I can remember best and youll just have to read them out of order. I havent uploaded photos for ages either. Ill get round to it at some point but I cant guarantee it will be soon as Im having a bit too much fun in Quito.When I left Huaraz I was planning on heading up to Mncora to catch some </description>

                    <title>Jungletime</title>
                    <description>I had decided I needed to do something spectucularly different and involving over Easter otherwise I would miss everyone at home too much. What I settled on was volunteer work at the newest Inti Warra Yassi park Jacj Cuisi. They have two pumas and volunteers are needed to help with construction. Im not shy of a bit of physical labour and I like the basic lifestyle so I thought this would be per</description>

                    <title>La Paz and Pampas Tour</title>
                    <description>I travelled to La Paz on a night bus from Sucre and was astounded to discover that the pictures werent lying and it REALLY was a full cama bed seat. I didnt sleep too well at first because of the altitude and windy roads but in the end I had a good old kip. Actually getting on the bus was a bit of a palaver as unbeknownst to me you needed a ticket to get on to the platform and once  I mad</description>

                    <title>Sucre</title>
                    <description>I didnt love my time in Sucre  not its fault  so this might not be the most enthusiastic blog youve ever read.Sucre is the consitutional capital of Bolivia and is rather handsome. It feels fairly small and the roads are so narrow that the cars honk at every intersection. Theres a big square full of trees in the middle of town and the buildings are all white. Around the city are pyramidsha</description>

                    <description>I didn't have a camera for this part of my trip although my jeep fellows were very kind and give me copies of theirs. I haven't uploaded them yet because there are so many lovely ones to go through but I willThis tour lasted 4 days and 3 nights and ended in Uyuni the last stop of interest being the Salar de Uyuni the giant salt flat. On the first day we drove through the mountains getting to</description>

To get there I had to get a bus to La Quiaca on the Argentine side of the border and then another bus from Villazon on the Bolivian side  it took all day.  </description>

                    <title>Salta  Tilcara</title>
                    <description>Salta is in the north of Argentina and is surrounded by lush green mountains. The city had a lovely feel to it and seemed to be more civilised than Mendoza  but maybe it just seems more Mediterranean. In town theres a gorgeous deli which sells all sorts of hams and cheeses and chocolates and boozes. There is a plaza in the middle and around it are a bundle of cafes and restaurants. Theres a</description>

                    <title>Ugly Mendoza</title>
                    <description>I didnt really like Mendoza and neither did most people I met. The Bible or Lonely Planet says that its stunningly picturesque which it most certainly is not. Its in the middle of the desert so its pretty dusty the streets are heavily treelined which means you cant see very far and gives it a slightly claustrophobic feel and there never seemed to be many people about which made</description>

                    <description>After getting off the boat but still feeling like I was on the boat I spent a night in a gorgeous little hostel in Puerto Varas rang my bank and told them off for putting a stop on my card when Id told them I was going to Chile and Argentina and had a drink with my Navimag friends in a bar overlooking the lake and a volcano. Unfortunately we could only see a bit of the volcano as it was ove</description>

Then after that there won't be any photos anyway cos some helpful fellow nicked off with my camera.The NavimagIm not on a boat any more. Im very behind with blogs.

                    <description>Puerto Natales is a touristy town much smaller than Punta Arenas. I quite liked it. It had the same colourful buildings. Actually most of them looked like shacks. It also has a micro brewery that serves delicious pale ale.From Puerto Natales you can go to the Torres del Paine national park and also catch the Navimag. I stayed at a great hostel called Erratic Rock and first of all felt quite in</description>
