getting behind in my reading! Really enjoyed this one! Could so relate to the horse riding, having done that with camels: mine rushed off to the sunset to Jeremy's HUGE amusement . Loved the fancy dress, looks cute. Can't believe you're seeing all this stuff I did in geog 40 years ago!
Wow! Hey Cathyyy! Have just been having a catch-up on your last few blog posts (I've got free internet at the hostel I'm staying at - woohoo!) and it all looks absolutely fabulous out there! Particularly liked the pictures from the salt flats - very cool! Anyways, it's very interesting reading all about your travels around South America, might have to go there one day! It's terrible - I'm not even home yet and I'm already thinking about where to go on my next trip! Hehe! Take care, xxx
One of the 7 Deadly Sins Envy is renowned to be one of the 7 Deadly Sins; Your father is tempted to commit this sin whilst viewing all the amazing pictures on your Blog! Keep sending the pictures and he will soon be on a short list for Hades, but it will be worth it. Happy Hunting.
I can't believe it Catherine
You are packing so much into your time: I just can't believe how much you are seeing and experiencing. I am finding out about a whole new world from your blog and great photos. Keep it coming!
Going to see your family on Sunday en route to Manchester.
What a kind teacher! How sweet of you to buy chocs and sweets for your pupils!! I never do. Those hot baths look amazing and the basillica ladders sounded scary. Enjoy your trip and keep us posted"
I cannot wait to see some of your new found gangster dance moves!!! Ohh and you're gonna have to remind me what date you get back too coz I wanna start planning a uni girls reunion asap to make sure everyone can make it! xxx
humpffff Not sure about your lesson on clothes. Your 'bra' looks more like a pair of spectacles and do they really need to add 'knickers' to their vocabulary?!!!!
Glad to see you wearing a helmet on that bike ride. Sounds scary in the extreeeeeme.
Heya! Me and Mary have just been laughing a lot at your story involving decapitated Chinese tourists.. I think we have been surrounded by them for too long! Hope you're still having a ball.. have been enjoying reading your blogs! Miss you lots!!!! Jen xxx
What no comments Gosh what an adventurer you are tubing, zip wiring, breaking into your own room.
Do you remember the Butterfly House near us that we all went to at Syon House? Probably the butterflies are larger in Ecuador.
I'm tired after walking the dog, swimming, going to London and a reading group today. Your days sound even more action packed!!
SOOOOO jealous! Looks fab out there! How much teaching experience did you have before you went out there? Did you do Tefl or something? Have you gone out there with people you knew beforehand or is it an English organisation with lots of Angles doing the teaching?
Keep having fun-hope you're getting a good tan!
Adios,

So the general idea is to head off into the depths of south america, stopping in Quito for 7 or so weeks, teaching kids english (yes, me and children, it will be interesting!- it'll do me good!!) with weekends off to lie on a beach/go white water rafting/climb volcanoes/bike/all those outdoor things i love but forget about when in the uk!! then into the jungle for a week or so, and down into Peru, possibly via a trendy surfing beach for a couple of weeks- Mancora/Trujillio, then on to Lima to pick up an organised tour through Inka-land and up int... full info
