Cuzco, unexpectedly pretty
We were surprised by the architecture and beauty of this town also. Peruvians are a polite people and we agree they are not in your face as much. Surprised you had trouble with the ATMs as they worked well for us. Sorry you felt so crappy that is never a good thing when traveling.

A city that means something to everyone who visits I find. With a history that probably means it has an aura like no other. Thanks for sharing your's.

The joys of Peru
So glad your electronics were not damaged. Indeed the videos will hopefully stay hidden. Glad you found a way to hike and not have to give that up do to lack of planning. We enjoyed hiking to the Sun Gate. Congratulations on Waynapicchu. I (MJ) have a fear of falling so I was not going to do that climb. Machu Picchu spoke to me, the grandeur of is it simple and yet majestic....for me.

Machu Picchu like a Monet
Wonderful blog of one of life's most rewarding adventures Derek. My Machu Picchu blog was only three blogs past, but it never ceases to amaze me how everyone's experience is so different. Best advertisement to travel in my opinion is no one's adventures are the same even if following the same footprints. Your adventures are amazing. Ride on!

You have a way with words bro

WELCOME and COME BACK!!!!!
You wrote a very good article on Buenos Aires. The pictures are really very good ones. Argentina is not easy, but it´s fascinating. I live at about 400 km from Buenos Aires, in a city called Tandil, lovely place surrounded by hills. Hugs from Argentina.

IN ARGENTINA
I am glad to know you enjoyed our Iguazú Falls. They belong to Argentina. You can see them from both sides, as you said, but they belong to Argentina. In fact, they belong to the whole Humanity. The picture you can see in postcards is taken from the Brazilian side but the falls and the main paths are in Argentina. Hugs!!!!!!!

Hi, Most of you will have been directed here by me - if so, thanks for coming. If not, thanks for coming anyway. I am Derek - a Kiwi who in June 2007, set off on a 4 1/2 month sortie around Europe via the USA, and set up this blog so that friends, family and randoms could keep track of where I had been to, and of the shenanigans I inevitably got up to.
