Finally I got some time to read your last adventures! :-)
I'm so glad you enjoyed all of it and you will keep this memories for ever! Although, you should hold on to your writting because details are quickly forgotten and it's nice to read your own adventures again in a few years from now!
If you think Argentinian BBQs are the best, you should also try the Brai in South Africa, just to compare!:-P Maybe next destination in your list? You could use the Overlander Trucks: you are with a group of people which changes during your trip because people can join or leave the group at any city; you get to have a Brai very often; you can choose to sleep in a tent or in a lodge; and you get to see beautiful things along the way that you can take in pictures! ;-)
Welcome back home with the travelling bug and have fun planning your next trip! :-D

YAY so glad you're home!!

Happy that you had a great time and that you made it back safely! :-)

Hi Claire, still going strong. wow great to read your stories and beatifull pictures. Are you still in Rio during the games ?

Wow Claire, what an adventure. And the pictures that you take are so beautifull, great colours and viewpoints. This diary will help you to remember everything. Safe flight home and it would be nice to talk with you after you have landed landed landed. x

I was talking to a guy in Uyuni who explained what was going on in Potosi. Apparently there is a conflict with the miners so all of the shops are closed. Until further notice. I wish I'd known that before I went there...!

It was pretty comfy! The seat went completely flat so was just like sleeping in a bed... The driver was a bit of a maniac though so I couldn't lay on my side or I was constantly battling to stay upright!
And my across the aisle neighbour was snoring. Loudly. But you can't have everything...

Wouhaaaa, amazing picture! You can hear the silence from it...very nice!

Good luck for the waiting in "Ghost Town"! :-S

How was the trip in "single full flat seat" then?

wow what a skies and the condor

Dear Claire
I love travelling with you. I was in Peru 32 years ago :)) a lot has changed. Nice to read your observations and have a great time in your next destination x

As always, very nice writing...and the end gave me tears in my eyes and goose bumps...very emotional...you must be very proud of the help you are bringing there and you see the recognition from the families...great memories that you will remember for the rest of your life.

Dear Claire thank you to much for your energy and lively way of describing life in Guate. Great that you went to el Ninos and Tess projects. I know them but have not been to them yet. You must have been in a rollercoaster of actions and emotions so reflect on it some days and dream back to the families who's lifes will change a lot. Gracias amiga que te vaya bien y bien viaje

Great experience the volcano eruption! Must be indeed impressive! Lucky you! ;-)

Amazing picture, my favourite one actually!

Well done and good luck for the next one(s)!

I see that you are having a great time! And the more hikes you'll do, the easiest it will become! ;-)
Enjoy!

Felicidades great job and observations.

Sounds like a pretty amazing weekend! Definitely not jealous at all. At all.

Hoi Claire

Perfect you co quered a lot of fears and saw paradise

Reminds me of the Jeepney buses in Manila...very colourful too!

Hi Claire! Cool stories! You are definitely a writer! I'm glad you're having a good time there. I'll be reading you for sure! Hasta luego!

Hey Claire nice to read that you went beyond your comfort zone. You discovered a lot:))
Maybe reflect a little about it over a cup of nice coffee at la Condesa.
Txs for sharing

Funny how I've made smiley face and became question marks instead. Hihihi

Good luck with the lessons Claire - great way to learn a language with such intensity exposure. ????

Hey Claire i am sure you are going to like it. Antigua is fascinating. Outside is the real Guate. Both very special. Que te vaya bien. X

Call the turtle Earthquake! We had a tortoise with a similar name till it ran away... Climb the volcano too if you can.

Dear Claire, I wish you a safe flight and a great start of your adventure in Guatemala. Besos a todos y que te vaya bien
