No idea what any of the clubs we went to in La Paz were called, sorry hun. Lots of them though. There's a sort of club/bar called mungoes with lots of travelling types which is a cheap taxi ride away, but we went of a square which ahd loads of clubs around it - can't remember what it was called. Sorry! Kirst might know... Glad you enjoyed (and survived) and the bike ride. Didn't they take you back to La Paz afterwards? aren't the hot showers at the end AMAZING?! Must be weird being there when it's cold though xx
Glad to hear democracy rules your travelling... Enjoy the bike ride :o) Prob safer than getting a tube in London at the moment. Camera sounds cool. Isn't La Paz crazy?!
Got the link ta. Started reading it but I'm at work and trying to look busy, so I log on again at the weekend. Glad you and all your family are well xx
Live8 I had just been thinking about Live8 when I got that message, Andi. I´ve no music player with me, and I´m beginning to crave. Stereophonics would be just the job to start me off...
Live8 Hey luv, thanks for sharing your blog with the whole list, otherwise I would never have known! Did you catch any of the live8 concerts where you are? I'd imagine it's probably the last thing on your mind. Well, sufficed to say, I was thinking of you when the Stereophonic boys were on stage, and they were played with suitable aplomb. Take care and all the best, andi
don't you dare go and get yourself killed leaving all your posessions filling up our garage. Still I suppose there is always the car boot sale option...
You can send private messages too, if you have something really saucy to say.
Dad´s comment is a variation on the Bates family classic of, "Well, yes, I suppose you can have another helping of spaghetti if you´re still hungry, but don´t come crying to me when you explode." Meanwhile, you are thinking, "Just hand over the pasta, parent."
Oh my, I have just realised that everyone can read everyone elses comments. Now I feel I should be amusing, or at least have something interesting to write. Well, I haven't....but I will think about something good for next time. All is dull, I now have 5 weeks holiday in Blackpool....can't really compare to your trip.....however I will continue to read your entries and keep getting very jealous of you! Something good to write...hhm...well, it is thundering here which is quite exciting ?! Love your Dad's comment....Hi Don (can we use this thing to talk to each other over?!), also, Richard I am not 'lost' I've just strayed to the Midlands!!!! Look after yourself Liz, Love Ruthie

Don't do it! Don't you dare do the road of death. But if you do, don't come running to me if you break your leg and if you get yourself killed I'll never speak to you again.
Thank God you've got your luggage My dear Elizabeth, I came late to this, and have just lived through a terrible quarter of an hour about your luggage. What a relief! Will have to go for a lie-down now, but will be in touch again. Love from us all, be careful.
Def do death road! Definitely do the death road bike ride. Was one of the best things I did and I reckon you'd love it. But now I['ll feel REALLY awful if there's some horrbile accident. Maybe I should add a disclaimer! Inca Trail sounds grand (not least for the sheer number of meals!) Keep it up Beamish! xx
So relieved Thank God you are reunited with toothbrush and other contents of luggage.
Meant to endorse travel pillow in earlier comments. My life saver - ten minutes in the broom cupboard flat on the floor, head supported by travel pillow, sets me up for hours. Much less conspicuous than walking into broom cupboard with feather pillow. Less good on aeroplanes though. Makes head too upright. Ah well. Takes all sorts.
Random Various Why half a guide? Top half no use, can carry bags but not anywhere. Bottom half no use, can go anywhere but not carry bags. We won't go into any extras that might come with bottom half.
V. sorry I didn't sacrifice my music commonplace book, given absence of paper in Latin America.
Have you really lost your entire rucksack, including toothbrush with carefully drilled holes?
Beamish red or black? i think we should be told! Very amusing, it's good to know that you're not dead and that you're having an interesting time. Of course it pales in comparison to life here in the North! It's an interesting idea, this blogging thing. What's even more interesting (no offence) is that all sorts of other long lost people are posting comments to you! Funny how it takes you travelling to the other side of the world to bring people together!!
Well, i guess you'll only read this when you get back from your trek, so hope you had a good time....i'm jealous!
Richard
Beamish this bloggin malarky is great fun! Lovin (where have all my gs gone) your entertaining entries - esp liking the refreshing lack of smugness of your travel accounts! I feel no sense of jealous resentment and instead am enjoying reading them through thoroughly. Ive got to say, I completely agree with the travel pillow phenomenon. I got one a couple of years ago and although I was mercilessly mocked for havin the thing attached to my neck, I couldnt hear the jeers cos I was fast asleep in the lovely land of nod.
Have fun and dont speak to any dodgy looking strangers xxxxxxxx
Did you see last comment? Hello Beamish! Did you get my last comment? Was soooo long but think maybe it didn't show coz I wasn't registered - boo.
Travel safe and keep blogging, last one made me laugh out loud in the office! Love Sammie x
