Judi M Hi Dave Each blog is more amazing than the last....... An absolutely fabulous trip you're having, certainly a very different experience. Have a great time on the Inca trail. Looking forward to seeing some pics. xox

Mum G Wow - what wonderful stories you tell! Can't believe how many miles you're covering and sights you're seeing! Enjoy the Inca trail too and Peru. I'm off to Oberammergau tomorrow - talk to you when I get back........... xxxx

Liz 2 Another very colourful blog - it sounds an amazing trip! Will look out for some tango lessons for you and Isey - I think you will have the head start! Enjoy the Inca trail - I want to see all your photos of that! Continue with the fun...

Toto Hello Bwana, It was so great to chat to you earlier, it's always such a treat to hear you. Thank you so much :) As you know I love you masses and can't believe it's only a wee 5 weeks away until I see you! Keep having a simply fantastic time so we have lots of stories to tell each other. xxx

Liz 2 Delighted you are enjoying the language challenges as well as the country. Have you learnt any good tangos yet? Another vibrant and colourful blog. Spanish Swahili may be on the cards by the time you get home!

Toto Once again, thank you for a brilliant blog. Although I hear about your time via emails and the odd phone call, it's grea to hear more detail about what you get up to :) I'm so glad you've found people to keep you company and can't wait to see the photos. Ninauapenda sana, Bwana Musiki. x

Judi M Hi Dave - you really are having the most amazing time - what wonderfully diverse experiences too!! Glad that your Spanish is improving - it makes such a difference when you have a little of the language - locals are so delighted when an effort is made to communicate in their language. Enjoy your new countries and keep the blogs coming - they're great!! Lots love xox

Mum G Another brilliant blog but am completely exhausted from reading it! Good adventuring in Chile, Argentina until you reach the final 2 countries before coming home!! Lol xxx

Rob Your really vivid and very well observed travelogue brings back wonderful memories of Queenstown, Wanaka, Milford Sound etc. One up to you for taking the plunge at Kawarau Bridge - I took one look and said a very definite no! So glad you are having such a wonderful time.

Judi M Really enjoying your blogs - your writing makes me want to jump on a plane and go touring. Glad you're still doing research for "The 100 Best Bench Spots" book. Happy Adventuring xox

Mum G I agree with Isey - a wonderful and colourful account of all your events and activities - I wondered what would happen to your lenses if you did something at all daring! You didn't lose them in the water for the bungee jump then?! Clouds? No just volcanic ash! xxx

Toto A wonderful blog, Mr and you never write too much so stop apologising! It's great to imagine you in all those places..I have a very clear picture :) Love as always and keep the news coming :) x
