A change of fortune. We leave one of the worst places we have stayed in and move to a cheaper, nicer and much kitscher place. Lake view photographic wallpaper and all manner of mismatched decor. Great! Hit the markets in a big way today. So much stuff ... Read more >

Ok, so I was having a great time in Sucre, Bolivia, but after a bit of serious thought, I have decided to continue my travels down through Argentina, about which I have heard great reports.  I have also decided to fly back to England in late November ... Read more >
