CONGRATS What a fantastic way to enjoy your 25th Wedding Anniversary...abseiling into a cave lake...in Brazil...together...says it all...isn't lurve grand!!!
Aaaaw, you guys ... yet another awesome blog ... and thanks for the amazing write up! We had an absolute blast with you too ... can't wait to catch up again!!!
Happy 25 years together!!! Heya ... awesome blog! Great to hear you had an amazing (albeit rather exy) experience in Bonito ... can't wait to get there next year!!! I can't believe Shelley did the Abismo Anhumas thing ... you go gal!!! We're in Arequipa at the moment and are looking to do the Colca Canyon tomorrow ... yay! Chat again soon, DK
que Hmmm the scene on the bus arguing with the Austrian dudes sounds familiar .
Was the conductor named Manuel and was a waiter from Barcelona ?
Was there a tall thin chap silly walking down the aisle ?
Did you hear any canned laughter in the background ?
Hmmm
That bus ride is bullshit!!!! far out, I I\'d be losing it! How awful for you both, surely there\'s somewhere you can lodge a complaint? guess it would fall on deaf ears though. Glad you both held it together Sounds like Paraguay has had it\'s fair share of despotic leaders.
Its not far off now. I whole year of Sth America, here you come xx
How glorified is Che. Great info scotty, had a girlfriend read some of your story. Love the quote, freedom fighters, or terrorists, take your pick. Geeezzz! it soon goning to be a whole year for you guys, thats pretty wow!! Was nice to read of your catchup with friends, trent\'s a concern??? thought El Fuerte looked pretty cool. thoses locals have got to be twins, surely. Great read.take care xx
WORTH THE VISIT Since you guys seem to be covering every road, track & by-way in South America...not much to do in Paraguay...no matter...your superb pics of the ruins make it very worthwhile.
Para-why, indeed! You've done a great public service in giving us the best of Paraguay (great photos of the Jesuit ruins), so the rest of us backpackers don't need to go. Americans have to pay $180 US to enter, so I wasn't tempted. Also, good thing you didn't buy that MP3. I met someone who bought a laptop there which turned out to be only the shell--no computer guts inside. Glad you made of out alive!
Uncle Harry would be very dissapointed.
Anyhoo they are building a by pass of Bulladelah which should be finished by your return.
I feel a party coming on.
OOHHH mt exmouth
These pretzels are making me thirsty The statue of JC was something I posed for at a naked drunken art class . They stole my artistic credibility....I cant wait to see what you send home if you can shock a bloke that is used to seeing cukoo clocks with butch and sundance riding around every hour on the hour...
Oh.....yeah.....its just Jesus! hahahaha....you make me laugh Scotty...you two are definately becomming well seasoned travelers. Been there, done that! I agree, it would do Jesus good to strike another pose for once, why not outrage the church. I love that collected crap too, I was like that when I traveled through Europe, I still have that shit, great memories.Glad your both feeling healthy and not carrying more on your backs than you need too. xx
The WWF, ofcourse you two are nuts for wrestling.I have never heard of cholitas and wrestling in La Paz. Never heard of La paz either. what do cholitas wear under their full skirts? Bloommers?
Why didnt the Hilton (sth american) serve the tourists eggs? Seems strange? glad to hear your shopping, still.

AUTHENTIC TEXTILES Amazing you go to a famous Bolivian market...and textiles made in China...probably snapped up by tourists...and I bet they look authentic. Reminds me of going to a Maasai mud village in Kenya...flogging woodcarvings locally made...and half the textiles made in China. As India is now the biggest producer of textiles...I guess soon the Bolivian textiles will be Indian, Chinese and the odd locally made...gotta shake my head.
So much for the LP! Hey, thanks for setting the record straight! The LP said that this was a real foodie town, but it sounds as if you two really gave it a chance, and it appears to wanting. Thanks to you two, I won't be planning to make any long stays for language classes. I'll learn that subjunctive where the food is better. Hope Santa Cruz is tastier....
We may have just chosen poorly...we have a bad habit of that. In Santa Cruz at the moment and if we had a choice between the two towns we would prefer Cochabamba. Santa Cruz is certainly a bit rough around the centre. Sucre is a fairly good option as well for an extended stay. Thanks for your comment and we have been really enjoying your blog and spectacular photos, keep up the great work.
Shelley and Scott
Lovely views. Once again the veiws are gorgeous and I've had some laughs also...poor Shelly, seems alittle strange that they keep getting away with the fake island thing??? Glad to hear you enjoyed the walk, it does look beautiful. As for the transporting of tourists, I dont think I'm a big fan of how they do it and what they do it in???? Always sounds some what dangerous.
Be good xx
nice!!! Looks and sounds like a nice place Sucre.Sucre sounds alittle like the way we pronounce (if I'm pronouncing it right) sugar....hmmm. could mean sugar??? Also was great to hear your company was matched by fellow travelers, nothing like getting on it with friends....that car/cab ride sounded terrifing!!!
God only knows??? That was a very interesting and sad piece of history, I had never heard of Potosi and its silver mine. The machines have been very well kept. Nice photo's xx
Albury Accommodation I just like the helpful info you provide in your articles. I’ll bookmark your weblog and check again here regularly. I am fairly certain I’ll be told many new stuff proper right here! Good luck for the next!
Looks like Sucre is a lovely town Hopefully, we will get to Bolivia in the next couple of years. Looks like they enjoy a lot of festivals and celebrations. Happy travels.
