mum Sounds like your having a great time. Missed your blogs xx

Cathryn So glad you're having a good time! How's the food? Xx

Aadit That depends on what kind of etuprion takes place. Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, has been erupting on and off for an estimated 300,000 years, albeit with lava flows and not much else. If Rainier erupted explosively, as Mt. St. Helens did, the possibilty of high loss of life is very likely. That's why public schools in the area practice volcano evacuation drills.

Bella Oh man, that Toboggan ride looked like it would be more fun than anthiyng ever. It's no Space Mountain , but it's still a mountain =) Almost feel bad for those people going down the mountain in the cable car. I wonder what they were thinking when they saw you with your camera out lolThink about it, why not buy cheap knock-off purses at the top of the mountain, Did they sell bottled water up there? If so, where else would you put those bottled waters on your way down? I think you may be on to something, sir! I think if chinese take out restaurants actually served authentic chinese deserts, they would increase sales by a good margin. Think about it, no more needing to ride to Publix for ice cream or pie when it can be delivered along with your food!

Zeynep This sounds hoirifrc why don't they just let you plug in headphones if you want to listen? 17 hours of mandatory rubbish films is harsh. That's just how they do it in Peru.

Rose Hi ClareGreat to hear from you on the blog.I really enjoy senieg the counrtyside from a raft, that is when you are not being covered in water!The bodge lasted for 50 miles and I got another puncture just as I arrived in to Puyo. I then caught my first S American bus to Banos.. This is the outdoor adventure capital of Equador , so I should be able to find something to do.I stayed in a real dive of a place last night , dirty every where. $6.00 a night is good and I arrived late.Been on line ordering new tires from New York and arranging to ship to Equador.I have repaired the old tire and at least can keep moving.I saw a hole in the road which if I fell down it would probably have taken me all the way back to the UK. A helmet would not have helped me. I am doing my best to stay safe. I was amazed at the way the bus driver drove, he was on a mission to get to the next town on time. There were a number of over taking manouvers that a racing driver whould be proud of.Good to hear that you had fun with Si . Look after your self.Big Brother.

Emma... And i quote... After Emma arrived we thought maybe things would be easier, since her Spanish is better than mine. This apparently is not the case. Yes everybody, Emma's Spanish is rubbish as she didn't understand Panza...! I didn't know until now that the cow stomach was my fault!
