Dynamite shop On the dynamite stall, in front of the fizzy drinks and next to the dynamite, are those cocaine-filled condoms ready for travellers to 'carry' back home?
50 pence for a stick of dynamite is a bargain, they're at least four times that much in Sainsburys.
Thanks for the update, things aren't quite as exciting back here. Nearly, but not quite.
Keep well guys
It sounds that you are having a wicked time mate :)
I know it’s a lot of traveling around and lots of buses and planes to catch but seeing new cultures and meeting new people is well worth it.
Have fun and keep us posted....
Hyde Hall calling Steve, Madly envious. Sitting ay my desk typing, wishing I was there too. Enjoy your travels but do try and think of us just once in a while?!
P.S Love the facial hairy stuff you got going on there!
"the erupting volcano had been blowing smoke for about 100 miles and planes could not fly from Quito to Guayaquil to pick up passengers before going to Galapagos!" yeah? well you should have seen the A3 last week, queues all the way up to Tescos. It was murder.
So far so good!! You've got it all - adventure, local colour, volcanos, buses, hammocks in quiet oases and now the Galapogos! What an experience. Don't forget the famous local tea when you get back to those high altitudes. I know from experience that it really helps.
I previously travelled for 7 months in 2006/2007 starting in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Antarctica and finishing in Brasil.
I'm now heading to Nepal in February 2010 with a one-way ticket and no time-constraints, and no idea where I'll end up!... full info
