| 20th August 2008 Bruce | Wine - From: It's all a blur Hello mate. In Boston so just spent a bit of time catching up on your blogs... sounds like you are having a great time! I can imagine you not enjoying getting plastered on wine very much! I like this bit... 'Also, knowing about all the history of a wine, and the different methods used to produce each wine, before drinking is also part of what makes it a great day out.' History: Grape. Preparation: Squash with a) feet, b) press... now drink!! Take care, Ciao, Bruno |
| 7th August 2008 Mum | Magical Mystry Tour - now you see me, now you don`t - From: It's all a blur I`ll bet you thought when you saw these wine cellars "now that`s what I call a view" but it was all a hazy blur in the end. Did they do `3 for a tenner`? I`m mystified about the girl you met "Old school friend"?! As far as I am aware you went to an all boys school!unless she was from junior school, and that was a loooong time ago, perhaps you will enlighten me further, or maybe I`ll start thinking Trans Gender. Love Mumx |
| 7th August 2008 Brenda Maggs | Good o`le wine - From: It's all a blur Well done Trevor! That is surviving a day of wine tasting! Fancy meeting a girl who went to the same school as you. You never know who you will meet or where! Take care. Enjoy your last week. Best wishes Brenda |
| 6th August 2008 Phil | Vino Collapso - From: It's all a blur Excellent. Now I know why we sent you to Latin America - just so you could act as our buyer and bring all of that vino home. I'll take the stock from either photo Trev, you know I'm not that fussy!!!!! You missed your S American port of arrival from your World Tour list - Brathil and that short flight to Sao Paulo all of 2 months ago! Pity that girl went to the same school as you, but 20 years later eh Trev! Not long now and you'll be back with Les Miserables in sunny Blighty. Enjoy the final week Trev - see you soon! |
| 31st July 2008 Mum | "Wow"! - From: Fallin' Over in the rain Absolutely magnificent photographs Trev, and even a rainbow just for good measure. I can`t imagine how you must have felt seeing and hearing this spectacular sight. I can understand why you should want to travel to see this from all the best vantage points. Got to be worth another tube of Anusol. As for your old friends the Mozzies, I expect they smelt the blood of all those steaks you have been eating, there`s always a downside to the pleasures in life. I should imagine the rest of your trip will seem pretty dull after this, unless there is yet another surprise around the corner. All I can say is "Wow"! Take care love Mumx |
| 31st July 2008 Phil | Wet Behind the Ears! - From: Fallin' Over in the rain Superb photos Trev, but as you say the noise has to be heard to appreciate the true power. Bit like sailing across the end of a glacier in reverse - there is nothing to hear but the towering sheets of ice are out of this world. What is it with you and buses? Are you getting Eaton up with the fascination of collecting numbers and sore bums? Is this a career-changing point in life? Or will you survive the trip vowing never to sit on a bus again!!!!!!!! Harry Potter quote (Book 4 - re the Night Bus): "Fasten your seat belts and clench your buttocks - we're in for a bumpy ride!" Watch out for the Gauchos in Cordoba! |
| 30th July 2008 Brenda Maggs | Argentinian Roses - From: Donīt Have a Cow Man! You are certainly a seasoned traveller now! `Roses grow on you` Trevor. Have a wine on us when you next have a drink. Good on yer! Best wishes Brenda and Eddie |
| 29th July 2008 Mum | Wine, Roses & Cow Hide! - From: Donīt Have a Cow Man! I like the Jacket Trev, but I thought you could have managed a younger pick-up for the night. was she the ropey bit of Cow Hide? Still anything looks good after a few glasses of the local wine I guess, even roses grow on you! Have fun love Mumx |
| 29th July 2008 Phil | Mad Mother and Mad Cow - From: Donīt Have a Cow Man! With 10% bad beef and your mother bursting into songs it's hard to work out which is the madder cow??!! I did warn you to watch your asp in BA - the prptest (new word Trev?? - based on wine infusion??) you saw is typical behaviour there and with a fascist police force ready to clamp down on dissenters it's no wonder they arm themselves!! But it is nonetheless a fascinating city. Becoming an international traveller of renown now - meeting up with people you have seen elsewhere. When are you penning the tour book - "Around my Girth in 80 Ways"? |
| 27th July 2008 Mum | Donkey Derby - From: Riding And Rafting - Itīll have to do "Gee Up" Neddy to the fair. what will I get when I get there? A Pisco Sour & a side of Beef, some Anusol Oh! what a relief. Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a donkey, the poor old ass was sore as hell, his legs were weak and wonkey! How could you Trev? Have you no compassion? Love Mumx |
| 26th July 2008 trevskii | Desperate Dan - From: Riding And Rafting - Itīll have to do Iīve been making enough visits to Parillas to put together a meaningful statisitcal sample of beef quality, and I have to say, 90% has been outstanding ( 90% is also the amount of your plate that each sample takes up!!) I think Iīm going to put back on all the weight Iīve lost so far whilst in Argie - you cant help but have Steak and a bottle of wine - itīs the staple diet!! |
| 26th July 2008 trevskii | It is Dave!! - From: On the Gringo Trail I think you might be right Phil - although there is a bit too much hair there!! |
| 25th July 2008 PP | Dave the Lounge Lizard - From: On the Gringo Trail Hey Trev - is that Dave in Macchu Picchu 2? |
| 25th July 2008 Phil | Donkey Walloper - From: Riding And Rafting - Itīll have to do You do realise that you are in deep schmuck with Jane, having inflicted your mighty mass on that poor pony's frame. I didn't know they had Shetland ponies in the Andes! Did the white water rafting provide you with that "enema moment"? Bet you were really pleased when that altitude sicky pulled out of the treck - but what was wrong with the other three? Holdy hands types I guess!! Enjoy Argentina and try and take in an asado (Argie Barbie) if you can - cracking beef and lots of it! Watch your asp if you go to BA though. |
| 17th July 2008 Mum | A Wolly Jumper to brighten your day! - From: On the Gringo Trail I think "a chum hiccup" was made here Phil! you old goat, nothing wrong with brightening up the day with a`wooly jumper`is there Trev? I`m only `kidding`. What fabulous photographs Trev, it must have been well worth the long trip to see this sight, it must have taken your breath away when you first set eyes upon these views. Keep them coming, and look after yourself Love Mumx |
| 17th July 2008 trevskii | Jumpers requiring Sunglasses - From: On the Gringo Trail Phil, I think that a bright multi-coloured jumper would just get lost in my mum's wardrobe!!! Congratulations on the job by the way!! |
| 17th July 2008 Phil | Macho Poncho - From: On the Gringo Trail Good phots up there in the mountains Trev. Perhaps you bought your Mum an Alpaca jumper in all the bright colours we associate with the Incas and her wardrobe? Or are you saving on luggage volume and weight? |
| 13th July 2008 Brenda Maggs | Condor - From: A Condor Moment Hi Trev, Glad you are continuing to enjoy your adventures in South America. The pictures are all fantastic. I liked your views and the Condors. The same old weather her. Rain, rain,rain. Not a good summer. You are not missing anything!!!!!! Continue to enjoy your South American experience. Best wishes fro Eddie and Brenda Maggs |
| 9th July 2008 Mum | Ah! Condor - From: A Condor Moment Bah! Sheep not women outside your hostel, what a shame, were they expensive? Strange bloke in front of glacier must have eaten whole llama & ostrich! Ah! Condor - give very good smoke screen at first. Shakin All Over - I think you might have had the tremors detoxing after going to the pub without affordable beer! Seriously though, fantastic pictures - best yet, what an experience. Please stay safe Love Mum x |
| 8th July 2008 Phil | Pipes and Rumblings - From: A Condor Moment Hey Trev, never knew a Condor moment was synonymous with Pan Pipes - always thought it was something to do with that briar pipe that was a permanent fixture in my old fellahs chops for so many years! Rumblings - must be that Llama pie you had (You know that Jane will kill you for that, by the way!) that caused the early morning tremors that woke you up. What a cover up for a good bout of flatulence!! Best go before I get the bird - or encounter another of youth smorer anagrams!! |
| 7th July 2008 Mum | "Uppers & Downers" - From: Am I Drunk or is the ground under my feet moving? Glad to be back on line to subject you to more of my comments. All thanks to Philip. You realy shouldn`t go for "Uppers & Downers" after a night on the booze, you know it doesn`t mix! Trev. Glad to see you are having a fantastic time and seeing places that I never even knew existed. I love the outfits the ladies are wearing, do you think it would suit me? Love Mum x |
| 6th July 2008 Phil | Pisco Backlash - From: Am I Drunk or is the ground under my feet moving? I did say they Pisco Sours were good! But overgood gets you locked out eh!! brave man doing those floating islands with floating innards. Mum's laptop now crashed. Am looking at it 2morrow for her. May be a RTB for new hard drive from what she described. |
| 6th July 2008 Phil | Cats Is - From: Lake Titicaca - It took my breath away!!! Stick to the day job Poos! |
| 3rd July 2008 Mum | Cats Eyes! - From: Lake Titicaca - It took my breath away!!! Cool shades Trev, Did you see the two cats eyes in Lake Titicaca? Phil will love this one!(cat i cat i ). I had forgotten what a dead man crawling looked like, the last time I was witness to that was when you celebrated your 18th birthday!! Once again lovely photographs. Carry on exploring Love Mum x |
| 3rd July 2008 Brenda Maggs | Shiny Shoes - From: Shiny Shoes Anyone ? Hi Trev, You are certainly getting about. Sounds like you are enjoying yourself. As you say with your hiking boots on you don`t need them shined!!!! Keep up the good work. Take care of yourself. Your Mum and I had a good day in London last Saturday. Best wishes Brenda Maggs |
| 2nd July 2008 Phil | Dead Man Walking - From: Lake Titicaca - It took my breath away!!! God you look rough Trev! Couldn't you find a couple of sherpahs or batti-wallahs to carry you over those peaks? Damn fine sunset!! Sorry, but I had to fix you Mum's laptop so that she could keep up with your travels. THERE IS NO ESCAPE! That means more of those corny anagrams I fear - but she does mean well, bless her. Enjoy Perrrrroo. You must try a Pisco Sour when chilling in the bar. Famous local cocktail and not too bad at all. In fact, have one for me! By the way, I was HMS Minerva's Peruvian Pizza Eating champion 1987!! Never knew that did you!! |
| 2nd July 2008 Mum | These Boots Were Made For Walking - From: Shiny Shoes Anyone ? This seems to be a more interesting location for you Trev. Excellent photoes, who is the man alongside the presidential guards?, He looks well. Looks as though he has been enjoying some of the local sustinance like the same man in the view out over La Paz. Time for the man to go trekking me thinks!! Never mind about shiny shoes, "These boots were made for Walking" Keep having fun. Love Mum x |
| 30th June 2008 Phil | Fat Boy Fodder - From: Shiny Shoes Anyone ? See the old waist line is burgeoning again Trev. 3 course meals on your budget - and a bottle of wine? How come you no sign up for the guerrilla army? Heading north fast now, so watch it if you hit Lima and Callao! |
| 26th June 2008 Mum | Getting High! - From: Getting High in a Jeep Were you and your travelling companions the only wild life to be seen in this place? What did you get high on?!! A Bolivian Red!! Didn`t they tell you that Laguna Colorado was a wine lake! Once again, lovely pics. Enjoy your trip by train to Oruro, perhaps it will be more comfortable than the jeep. Love Mumx |
| 26th June 2008 Mum | "Bath Time" - From: Give Me Oxygen... Long way to go for a bath Trev! I think your pics are brilliant. Perhaps its time you gave up the fags! Love Mumx |
| 25th June 2008 trevskii | Hemmies - From: Getting High in a Jeep Unfortunately the salt flats were only the last day / the first 2 days were a very bumpy ride, it was a good job we were in a half decent jeep. It was just luck of the draw getting the girls ... honest!!! |
| 25th June 2008 Phil | Not Too Bumpy Then! - From: Getting High in a Jeep Looking at that barren featureless vista you have just traversed suggests that the hemmies got away with a murdering then. I thought you would have been in steaming jungle, not in ice fields and salt flats. Whoooee! How come you get to travel in the off-roader with all the girls then? Nice sun tan!!! (8-O) |
| 25th June 2008 Phil | Mooning - From: Give Me Oxygen... Despite your claimed failure with the camera, you have managed to get a couple of pretty decent shots in there Trev. Well done! Now watch out for the hemmies when you do the 3 day jeep trip into Bolivia! Make you squeal in that steamed up tropical mountain jungle -- ooooooaah! ;-)) |
| 21st June 2008 Mum | Doing a Cool "Moonie" - From: Cool to see the Moon Great pics Trev, realy Cool. Put them both side by side and it could be you doing a "Moonie"!. Do you think these Hostels have advanced warning of your arrival? Keep taking the wine!. Enjoy your long trip to San Pedro Alacama. Love Mum x |
| 20th June 2008 Phil | Vino del Valps - From: Cool to see the Moon I told you the wine was good, so good it helps overcome Sunday routine in La Serena. Had the horse left town too? Moon looks much the same as from here - white and grey and all blurred. You didn't miss too much with the Penguins Colony, nowt but noise, Penguin projectile poo and smell of fish! Enjoy St Pete of Atacama. |
| 17th June 2008 Mum | Heaven or Hell? - From: Nice Views - Hundreds Of Steps to Heaven Hope your leg has been ok going up and down all those steps Trev. Interesting photo of the ship restaurant, did you have a meal there and get sea sick? Perhaps that`s why the duvet cover was fluorescent green!!. After your 7 hour bus ride to La Serena (Ale`s near). Or will you be ready for a bottle or two of a good Chile Red?! Enjoy, Love Mumx |
| 16th June 2008 Phil | Ah Valps! - From: Nice Views - Hundreds Of Steps to Heaven Valparaiso - what a run ashore! I had a great time there coming back from Falklands in 1987. Great food and wine. Wine very good quality and exceptionally low cost!!! Know what you mean about the buses - some things don't change! But nonetheless, refreshing - especially after Santiago. Keep it coming Trev. |
| 14th June 2008 Mum | Santiago to Valparaiso - From: I Have Taken the Weather With Me Trev, I expect you have danced your way up from SANTIAGO (as I tango) to clean up in VALPARAISO (soap arival) naff I know, but best I could do. Yes I know arrival has two r`s. Love Mum x |
| 9th June 2008 jane | wow - From: Sport Hurts! - Go Hard Or Go Home!! how wonderfull to have a blessing , and to see the beautifull buddhist temple, i envey you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!enjoy and keep posting pics. jane chris and sara |
| 9th June 2008 Amanda | What type of dog I wonder?..... - From: Haven't the foggiest Manuel Well sounds like you made it with your camera, good work Trevor! I'm just wondering what type of heinz 57 you're getting in those hotdogs, or is it chilli's finest like labrador, german shepherd, collie, too funny!? Still next stop hot guinea pigs, yum!!! Take care x |
| 8th June 2008 Phil | Chilli - From: Haven't the foggiest Manuel Don't mention the Malvinas. Chile are good pals, but there are Argies next door! Santiago is a great run ashore, so long as you don't tread on the hot dogs. Pity so much fog, else you'd have seen some seriosuly Himalayan matching scenery! Chilean Cab Sauvignon very good quality and when I was last there (1987) we were paying 91p a bottle for some really good stuff. Casino Macul is worth a bracer! Don't break yersel this time Trev!!! |
| 8th June 2008 Mum | A "dogged" Journey - From: Haven't the foggiest Manuel Is Manwell after "dogged" journey from Frankfurt(er) to "Chile" Hotdog? - "mustard" been hell. "Chor-i-zo" for now or adi`os Love Mum. |
| 19th May 2008 Mum | Last of the Big Spenders! - From: Rickshaw Anyone? I just knew it, You had to haggle for my present didn`t you. Did you get it for 60p in the end?. Didn`t they at least have a Ģ1 shop? Love Mum |
| 19th May 2008 Phil | Buddha - From: Sport Hurts! - Go Hard Or Go Home!! Hey, Trev, is that you in tha photo of the Buddhist Temple? No wonder the Monk gave you a blessing! Cool haircut dude! |
| 18th May 2008 Mum | On Top Of The World - From: Wow - What A View! What A Day! For you Trev, the 17th May 2008 will always be a memorable day. Your Dad went to the North Pole as his great memory and yours will be Flying over Mount Everest on the day Pompey won the FA Cup. Fantastic. Love Mum |
| 17th May 2008 Mum | Limping back to Blighty! - From: Sport Hurts! - Go Hard Or Go Home!! Lovely to see photoes of you with the children from the Ganganagar Orphanage, what a shame that you were unable to complete your stay. Lets hope a short break back home will put you right and you will soon be able to complete your adventures. Love Mum |
| 16th May 2008 dave R | Everest next port of call then Trev - From: A Map Back to Civilisation Anyone? Sounds like you having an adventure. We could do with a few of those hamsters over here at the moment. 200 people on a bus designed for 50, sounds like going to paultons park |
| 15th May 2008 Phil | - From: A Map Back to Civilisation Anyone? The "cosy" bus rides you are experiencing must be playing havoc with the old hemmies! And then all that walking. And only water to drink .... But I checked that web site on Ganganagar Trev and it says you all congregate at weekends to have a drink and eat western fodder. Can't be that bad then. How is the local brew - or are you not that brave????? Keep up the good work. |
| 13th May 2008 Mum | Hamsters - From: A Map Back to Civilisation Anyone? Wait till you get to Peru You will be eating Hamsters there, a very fine starter to a meal so I`ve heard! (Yum, Yum!). Keep going, the wild life can only get better. Now lets see, that`s 1 Wild Chicken, an Elephant, a Rhino and some Hamsters "Hmm" very interesting. How about a Bengal Tiger, very rare I`m told. Good Luck. Keep drinking plenty (Water) Love Mum X |
| 8th May 2008 Mum | Mounts Washing & Ironing! - From: Back to Reality ( Of sorts) You might be having fun going up mountains on a bus Trev but not as much fun as I`m having climbing the mountain of washing you left behind, I havn`t reached the peak yet. that comes when I`ve climbed mount ironing basket. Have fun, stay safe Love Mum |
| 7th May 2008 Phil | Testing Comms - From: Back to Reality ( Of sorts) How can you complain about the bus driver - were you never a passenger in your Dad's car?????? Yes, if you have FOGOTTEN your first 50 words of Nepali (or whatever it is they utter in them parts) already, there's not much hope for you out in the sticks. Your Mum always said she had difficulty communicating with you - must have been the grunts emanating from under your duvet at wakey-wakey time! I always found communications easier after about 10 pints of the local brew - a great leveller, 'cos everybody speaks gibberish from thereon. Keep it comin' ...... |
| 6th May 2008 Carolyn | Hi - From: Elephant Vs Rhino - The Winner is? It sounds like your trip has been eventful to date & you have only just started. Have you had the opportunity to buy a new camera yet - would have thought it is very important on a trip like this. Anyway - sure you are not missing work yet, it is a trip that most of us would only dream about. Keep the log going |
| 4th May 2008 Phil | Culture? - From: Elephant Vs Rhino - The Winner is? Come on Trev, the only culture you know is the one that grows like yeast in yer socks. Could the local culture out there really tolerate you at your best? And what did the elephant do to deserve you behind it's lugs eh? Good to see you enjoying life, but I'm really waiting to see what the "cultural" diet experience in that part of the world is gonna do to your "waste" line. Keep 'em a comin'! |
| 4th May 2008 Phil | Trev and Technology - From: In Kathmandu, Out Of Camera Trevor and technology - never was your strong point was it sunshine!. Surprised there's still a market for celluloid dependent cameras, even that close to India, but a mobile in th sub continent was always going to be a challenge. Where the hell do you think your helpline was going to be ??? |
| 4th May 2008 Mum | Decent dinner - From: Elephant Vs Rhino - The Winner is? Should have caught the chicken and got a decent dinner!! |
| 2nd May 2008 Bruce | Things can only get thinner - From: A less than Auspicious Start Trevski!!! At least you are on your way matey!! Though I'm not sure troughing Maky D's is part of the wieght loss programme!! Keep the updates coming and good luck chief... will be checking in regularly! x. |
