La Paz, Bolivia

The Bolivian jungle & Arequipa, Peru Having had our flight to Rurrenbaque (i.e. the jungle) cancelled twice, we were incredibly glad to be at the La Paz airport and checked in onto a flight, even if that did mean we had to be at the airport at 6am. I was somewhat surprised, however, when we actually got on to the plane - it was so sm…

Hello! Welcome to our travel blog. We hope that the content is interesting and worth a read, but as we haven't even left England yet we have no idea what it will entail. Lots of love! Grace & Rhys

La Paz, Bolivia

Oliver's travels I found a little piece of home today in a place that is such a contrast it may as well be on the moon... Or at least on a different continent! This little bar I'm sitiing in n…

Peter C Hrrumph!! Even more jealous .... By the time you finish this your comfort zone will be SOO broad that nothing will faze you - either of you. The beer reports are more or less as expected, but what are the national cuisines like? This part of the world is not well represented in culinary literature (!!) so recipes are demanded, lol. Roll on the adventure ... Hugs both. xx PS Hugh obviously has't tried the Tesco in Aldershot ...

Hugh Heheh all the high altitudes must be getting to you... that wasn't sarcasm - I'm looking forward to one of your photo calendars (in fact I've still got one hanging from 2 years ago!). Feisty one, you are!! Hope you're still having a lovely time. I am v jealous. Tesco Portslade just doesn't cut it.

Grace With sarcasm like that I'll tell you who WON'T be getting a calendar for christmas! And maybe I should take back the gift I bought you today!! ;)

Grace Thank you all so much for your messages - it's lovely to know that someone actually reads (and hopefully enjoys) the stuff that we write. Miss you all, lots of love, grace xx Mum - Machu Picchu is amazing - I was worried that because you can't avoid the pictures it might be a disappointment like the pyramids were but it wasn't at all. Rhys is still writing the blog about it but it'll be up as soon as possible. Uncle Mark - it's a big trip around Peru and Bolivia (and possibly Argentina now too) for 9 weeks then we're home for 2 days to shower and repack and then off to Thailand for 6 weeks. So far so good! Hugh - currently in La Paz, have to make a decision today about whether to go to Argentina so everything is resting on that at the moment. Chris - can't wait to come and see you in Thailand! The highest point on the Inca trail is 4200m so I know your pain! Rhys now wants to climb to 6088! H - we'll definitely be over to see you when we get back. Looking forward to it!Hope you're still enjoying it and not getting too much work done! :)
