BOLIVIA | Tue, 4 Nov 2008 | By eoghancito | Views [5762]

As we were in the taxi to the bus terminal in La Paz I noticed something funny about the "hippy" bag I had bought. It had a quite large hole in the side, and not the type of hole you get from overuse. It was a very precise cut designed to allow ... Read more >

Spent four days in Esquel. Wow. Never thought it was possible to be so bored - and I went there with 3 fresh books! After Bariloche, Esquel is nothing special. Surrounded by mountains but they are dusty rather than the pretty green, snowy ones of ... Read more >

The two towns could hardly be more different. Monte Carlo, with memories of Prince Ranier and Princess Grace, the famous Gran Prix race and the Grand Casino, is home to the beautiful (and oh-so-wealthy) people. Gardens, fountains and sculpture trail ... Read more >
PERU | Mon, 7 Aug 2006 | By nomad_vet | Views [1673] | Comments [2]

I have 1/2 a day to explore Lima before I fly to Piura in the afternoon. I figure I may as well take the cheap (& safe)Urbanito bus service into central Lima. Good plan, but the bus service from the airport no longer exists, so the only option is ... Read more >

My name is Rukman Sadikin, a 27-year-old man who loves exploring the world because of my curiosity to see the beauty of the world. I was actually a shy and coward man, maybe not in the classification to be an adventurer nor to be the real man. But I'm ... Read more >

What seems like an age ago now, I wrote we´d just returned from a trek through the Cordillera Blanca in Peru, starting off from Huaraz. Huaraz isn´t a particularly exciting city, but with the mountain ranges on both sides looming, challenging, it´s ... Read more >

NONE OF THE IRELAND GUIDEBOOKS BOTHERED to mention Adare, not even Rick Steves. As far as they are concerned this charming village in County Limerick hardly exists. Which is a shame.
Just too charming

April is the cruelest month, certainly not the most scenic time to go looking for America. Heading east from Nebraska to New Jersey, the stubbled fields were still dappled with gray melting snow and the ravages of winter could still be seen through ... Read more >

Ok so landed in Seattle home of the Pikes Place Market and CreativeLive (fellow togs will know what this is) . Checked into the motel and have to say that this is the first time that bookings.com failed me. It was an overpriced dump. However overall ... Read more >
