Have netbook, will travelblog. Backpacking around the Pacific. An awful lot of bull. Are you sure you want to Quito? August 19, 2010. Quito is a blackened smoker’s lung of a city. The dilapidated buildings are its stunted alveoli, and the ancient cars hammering around its tiny streets are the ravaged blood-cells racing through a nicotine-accelerated bloodstream. 8220;Don’t climb that hill” we were told on the first day. 8221; we said. 8220;You’ll get mugged for sure.”. Sound advice. Other useful titb...

Although Santa Fe was pleasant enough in a touristy, faux-adobe and gift-shops-selling-dreamcatchers-and-painted-pebbles sort of way, pretty much everything except the adobe photo shoppe.

Have netbook, will travelblog. Backpacking around the Pacific. An awful lot of bull. The Grumpy Planet guide to: Ecuador. Mountains of ice cream. September 19, 2010. Oh, Alice managed to shave a small amount of revolting chocolatey jungle into her pure scoop of tasty strawberry mountains*, on account of having brought enough anti-malarial pills for such a jaunt (and on account of being a filthy deviant), but for the most part we all dwelled happily among the mountain people and their high-fibre flatulence.

Have netbook, will travelblog. Backpacking around the Pacific. Huanchaco, or: How I overcame my fear of change. 8220;My newfound favourite expensive hobby”. October 15, 2010. I open my eyes. I appear to have a road stuck to my cheek. That can’t be right. The road appears to have a bike stuck to it, a few feet away. That… makes a bit more sense. I’m flat on my face after falling off my bike at great speed! I’m making progress! I bet it was those kids’ fault. Throwing rocks at gringo cyclists? She’ll...

Having returned to Huanchaco beach from the other side of Trujillo, we were faced with a taxi fare of about 25 PEN. Neither of us had anything less than a 100 sol. Could he hel...

Have netbook, will travelblog. Backpacking around the Pacific. Archive for August, 2010. An awful lot of bull. August 22, 2010. Okay, confession time. I didn’t do a lot of research before coming to South America. In fact, my knowledge of the Andean nations was limited entirely to what I’ve gleaned from Tintin in The Prisoners of the Sun. And the completely hilarious movie The Emperor’s New Groove. Consequently, I was expecting towns that look like this:. Are you sure you want to Quito? August 19, 2010.

Have netbook, will travelblog. Backpacking around the Pacific. Phantoms in the Pueblo. Are you sure you want to Quito? August 19, 2010. It’s possible to sort out the tangled mess that this blog will likely become using categories to filter posts. Currently there are categories for the USA. And the posts within those categories will remain in chronological order. Thank you for your understanding. This blog will resume service with my post on Quito and Cotopaxi. Response to “Amnesty National”.

Have netbook, will travelblog. Backpacking around the Pacific. Archive for May, 2010. May 28, 2010. The Mississippi was sluggish, weighed down as much by the florid descriptions and ponderous allegories of generations of American writers as by the large silty chunks of the American continent it carries on its southward journey. The dusky sky, as grey and tired as the river, yawned over an old plantation house. 8220;You know, Miss Adventure, I could have sworn this place was abandoned.”. May 22, 2010.
