Wow so now we finally know the tale of the 2 dislocated toes!! What a horrible 10-12 days you had there, poor you all that combined with the lost voice and stomach troubles and being all alone really sucks. No wonder you was really really glad to leave.. But despite all that I must admit I did laugh at the story several times as did your grandma She got on the phone and laughed for ages about the descriptive way you describe your troubles. I know we're bad people laughing about it but it was very funny to read!! That crazy german will either end up in some nasty peruvian jail or die from having his brains fried before too long.. Keep writing its always brilliant following your adventures good and bad ones.. LY xx

Awesome!!
Thanks for the little snippet about the Island! I will be doing the opposite journey from Iquitos to Pucallpa so That info on the cheap and cool place in Yarinacocha is great news, Hope I can find the boat to it though lol ( I don't use guide books at all when traveling ) take care bud!

The alcoholic monkey is too cute. :)

Even if a lot within this blog entry is not a side of you I know so well bud (!!) it was yet another top read and highly insightful! If you\'ve been reading this Thalia, Al\'s an awesome guy..but you already know that ;-)

Hey absolutley loved the tale of the two Dopey men, really good, you must have met so many many crazy people on your travels over the last couple of years I suspect you could write a hilarious book just about all of them. People travel for all sorts of reasons some for adventure & to see the world, some to escape it some for personal reason I bet you hear all kinds of tales on your travels.

Climbing Huayna Potosi
A rivetting account of what must have been a herculean effort.It kept me spellbound Despite mot reaching the summit it was a sterling attemptand you should not reproach yourself at all.Very very well done AL. I am sure you are not broken and that you will climb higher yet.

You inspired a forum topic. :)

Hey there, I wish i was there to watch you sand boarding down those dunes it would of been quite something and to see you climbing down the waterfalls in freezing cold water. you are having so much fun actually doing all these activities that most people only read about... the photos of laguna 69 are are lovely..and as for the donkey carrying the bike well it boggles the mind as to why? keep up the writing it a great read xx

Hurrah about time you did some more writing, I think i love the photos of this place more than any other . the clean clear blue water of the lake etc and the kids playing by the shore are just brilliant. I really does evoke a feeling of calm and solitude. I can see why you like it so much.

Aw poor you being so poorly on a trip like that but have been awful.. I\'d have been terrified as to where i was putting my butt in case something nasty was around waiting to take a bite. very brave of you to hold that tarantula also kinda irresponsible of the guide to allow it i gotta wonder if any body has ever been bitten and how on earth they deal with it after, oh so dangerous and yet fasinating place.

Always a good read Alan, the waterfalls etc sounds like a really great place and the bus trip truley horrendous, I think they call call it ying and yang the good is balanced out by the bad, and you have certainly experienced it all.,, but as you say even the bad makes life interesting, you'll have so many stories to tell & so many memories.

more to read...and enjoying!
Just as I finished reading this post I see a message saying the next one is up! Thanks for the bedtime reading Al!
