Chile – Part 1 – The Adventurous Route to The Atacama Desert
Our most intrepid travelling yet, with a few “Race Across The World’ dramas, but we got ourselves into Chile and across to The Atacama Desert. WOW – it sure was worth the effort…
Peru – Part 3 – A ‘Hop’ down the coast
A ‘Peru Hop’ bus down the coast from Lima to Arequipa, with some gorgeous stops along the way. Who needs to go to Machu Picchu anyway? And then onwards towards the land border with Chile – a little more intrepid…
Peru – Part 2 – The Amazon Rainforest
A great couple of days at an Eco-Lodge (whatever that might be) deep in the Amazon rainforest. Not as teeming with wildlife as Galapagos, but far more biodiverse, and the immense efforts to preserve the precious eco-system are incredible to see…
Peru – Part 1 – Lima
South America’s culinary capital, a city where you can get prescription-only drugs in almost any pharmacy, utter chaos but with corners of beauty. `Not our favourite city ever but we did find Paddington in Peru!…
Galapagos – Part 2 – A week on a cruise boat
We were almost too tight-wad to indulge in this – thank God that Debbie convinced Steve that the money just needed to be parted with, sod it…!
Galapagos – Part 1 – A land-based week
A week of island hopping while we sorted out a cruise – OH MY GOD, WHAT A BLOODY INCREDIBLE PLACE….

Colombia – Part 3 – Cartagena & the Caribbean Coast
A charming colonial city, fabulous Caribbean islands and a few days of doing nothing in a spectacular location where the jungle meets the sea…
Colombia – Part 2 – Salento & the Coffee Region
Only half an hour by plane from Medellin but it felt like half a world away – this region was drop dead gorgeous.
Some of the world’s finest coffee, the world’s tallest palm trees and 2 pensioners who should know better handing off the back of a jeep…
Colombia – Part 1 – Medellin
In at the deep end – once the world’s most dangerous city, but now re-invented and a testament to the resilience of the residents. Trendy in places, amazing in others, brilliant scenery not far from the city. And an ‘interesting’ journey back to the airport…
