http://jodyamy.blogspot.com/2005/08/final-destination.html
August 30, 2005. Jody loves his pancho. See our Buenos Aires photos. Shopping and eating sums up our experience of Buenos Aires so far. We hated the place for our first couple of days here - it's a big, rowdy, confusing city and we felt totally lost in it. But a city tour and many taxis later and now we feel at home. We went to a football match last week. Including today, we only have three full days here before we fly home to London on Friday, so we're finally packing in some sight-seeing this afternoon...

June 07, 2005. Sin gas, por favor. Small blockade on gringo alley. The protests over gas in La Paz have probably hit mainstream news in the UK now, with the President's offer of resignation last night. So we thought we'd start regular updates on the blog to let you know that we're fine. The protests have taken over the city centre and have fallen into the routine of starting in the main square each morning, before police drive the protestors up to higher ground each afternoon. We're hoping to fly to Peru...

July 30, 2005. I whine, you whine, we all whine for wine. See our photos from Salta and around. If I eat another steak, I'll cry.". We've only been in the country for a week but have started getting pregnant-woman-like-cravings for something else, different food - anything! Along with steak and sausages. Almost a whole cow! Posted at 5:11 PM. Hi, glad you're enjoying the best of Argentina - ice cream and wine! Bad for the belly though! I hope Argy is still bluddy cheap for ya. Em XX. That you have been d...

December 18, 2004. Disasterous Dining in Penang. Two waters to flush away the taste. And all of them (even my mutton korma) was too spicy for the person eating it. Something neither naan, rice or pepsi could cure. Jody's since tried stir-fried frogs legs (not at the same place) and he can confirm that they do taste like chicken. Last night we had an excellent indian meal that was all served up, not on plates, but on giant banana leaves. Well, I guess it saves on washing up. Posted at 9:58 PM.

http://jodyamy.blogspot.com/2005/04/jungle-boogie.html
April 30, 2005. See our photos from Rurrenabaque. A tiny, 12-seater plane swept us to the town of Rurrenabaque in the Amazon basin. The views were spectacular as we dodged the Andes mountain range and flew over dense jungle. Three guys at the front of the plane filmed the journey, unwittingly knocking the pilots headset off a few times with their camera lens. Every gust of wind tossed the plane around and soon we were amidst thick cloud. How does the pilot know where the mountains are? Daniel, our transl...

http://jodyamy.blogspot.com/2005/02/coober-pedy.html
February 08, 2005. We were surprised to see that Amy and I made up two thirds of the passengers on our trip from Alice Springs to Adelaide. At least we had plenty of room to stretch out during the 20 hours of driving, packed into two days. See some of our Coober Pedy pictures. We're currently in Adelaide. That it makes you feel sick if you drink a lot of it. On the way back, our tour bus broke down on a busy roundabout and we had to climb out and push start it ( see photo. Posted at 8:09 PM. Of what was ...

http://jodyamy.blogspot.com/2005/07/were-all-incaed-out.html
July 03, 2005. We're all Inca'ed out. See our Machu Picchu photos. The setting is just amazing. How they managed to create such a huge complex at the mountain is beyond me. And early in the morning, I really did get a touch of vertigo trying to take it all in. The site is vast and while the buldings are interesting, but it's the setting that gives Machu Picchu the edge. In total, we were there eight-and-a-half hours, wandering on our own,. All hail the Inca King. See our Inti Raymi photos. Just read your...

March 21, 2005. Walks, whales and glaciers. Emerald Lakes, 1,750m up (ish). See our New Zealand photos. If I were a god and wanted to purpose-build a seven-hour trek, with volcanoes, lakes, tarns (glacial lakes), forests and mountains at my disposal, I couldn't have done a better job than the Tongariro Crossing. I may have enjoyed the walk a little too much. If when I return to the UK I grow a beard, clad myself in Gore-tex and start looking to join a weekend rambling club, someone please stop me. From C...

February 04, 2005. Jody, Amy; cold at the Uluru sunrise. I've uploaded some more Australia photos. We're currently in Alice Springs, having just returned from a three-day tour of the sights around Uluru (Ayers Rock). Uluru itself was ok - it's just a big rock, innit? Kings Canyon was stunning, however. Posted at 5:03 PM. Great we went there, and i was given an opal (small one mind you), by the crazy guy that lives in a series of caves. he was absolutely hammered on vodka. So, off to adelaide? Anyway, fer...

http://jodyamy.blogspot.com/2005/01/deadly-snake-almost-bit-me.html
January 27, 2005. A deadly snake (almost) bit me! Jody's new snake-dodging tactic. A minute later, a small circle of people from our tour had gathered behind me, watching the snake. Then our guide came over and told us to run. We didn't. We just took a couple of steps back and kept watching, reaching for our cameras before he grabbed a rock and a stick and beat the beast to death. Which took some doing. Posted at 3:56 PM. For older entries, see the archives at the top right-hand side of this page. Jody a...
