'Before signing off I just wanted to mention one observation made of Peru. Much like the folks, they love UB40. During one meal in Cusco we were treated to a UB40/Bob Marley mixtape, with an impressive collection of their old numbers. They are also on the radio everywhere, and twice on buses they played the video of Kingston Town in between films, the only music video they showed. I didn´t bank on that before I came out, but I am fairly unshockable now.'
You go all the way out there and you have to endure that shite. Torture, pure torture.

Looking good fellas, and hoping you're enjoying the final leg of the S America tour. am extremely excited to your return and more importantly an all dayer in the Duke's Beer Garden! x

firstly, loving the police gag on the first pic.
secondly, is it me or do all these rock formations that are meant to look like things (frogs, sunken cruise ships) look nothing like them? your camera work not showing their true beauty?
Sounds really interesting az although maybe not the football bit and they seem to be the bits you go in to most detail with, thanks for that blow by blow account. Have you really got used to seeing guns????????? i hope not
xxxxxxxxxxx
Sounds beautiful, very jealous I’ve been sitting in an archive freeeezing. You won’t be surprised to know I got the meatloaf quote but then I’ve heard you sing it about a million times. Thanks for mentioning me, I feel a bit famous, although I would expect something more like I’m missing her terribly, or I pine for her constantly !!!!! Love you xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Excellent punditry The meatloaf comment is the greatest gag you have ever produced, you deserve an award, and I think Gould should be the one to give it to you.
what a contrast Hi Aaron......what a massive contrast between the island paradise you were in(previous blog) and the concrete jungle (this blog)........ you sound as if you are having a fantastic time.......can't wait to see your Samba dancing........just wondered who they renamed you as??Take care........Noran
i have advice, ron: caprainis and ring of fire - lethal combination. they're powerful. blog is top; keep up the good work. your subtle dry sarcasm has me scoffing! journalist in the making? first publication being this blog in the guardian supplement..... lucyX.
what a blog I've just read your blog for the first time all the way through. It is a work of art- keep up the good work and keep enjoying the adventure.The latest entry looked like a drag!!
The drag man at the top.. ..he well looks like a Gollywog doll. Are you allowed to say that? well, its too late now - i have. i hope u r having an amazing time - i'm well jealous of the carnival. were u tempted to join in and have a little shake?? x
Was Sparrow going for the Daniel Craig coming out of the water in Casino Royale (plus body board) look?! V impressive blogs once again, OJS ain't the same without u! x
