Was your trip a vacation or did you have business to take care of? If the former, have you discussed it in any of the groups? I have a bad case of wanderlust, and I'm always curious about what's around the next bend, or over the next rise. It was a holiday Billy and just a magic one. No, I haven't discussed it on other lists (other than an extremely brief mention). It wasn't my choice of destination so I had limited expectations but it turned out far better than I ever could have anticipated. I can recommend a trip there, especially Peru where the food was exceptional (all of it even the grub one eats just because you need a belly filler), the people were all delightful and the scenery and landscapes were always interesting or stunning or breathtaking. Macchu Pichu has to be seen to appreciate it as no pic can really do it justice but it's too crowded for my liking. Chile and Bolivia were places we'd love to see more of, and the same for Brazil although we liked the bits we saw (Iguassu is stunning as is BA). Would go back to every place except Rio which has very grubby beaches in comparison to those of Aus and has somewhat limited appeal for a couple of bumkins like us as we're not 'into' shopping or shows or grubby beaches. As a spinner and sometime weaver, I enjoyed that aspect of the western parts of it but would really have liked to have access to a translator who knew something about the subject as the only time I got to talk to a real spinner, I had doubts about what she was supposedly doing and the explanation for why she was doing it - what I was told sounded like a complete load of old rubbish. We were as sick as dogs from the altitude from the time we got to Cusco and stayed that way till we left La Paz but other than that, I was as fit as a Mallee Bull. Himself wouldn't lsiten to my advice and not eat lettuce in road side places and got a gut bug which took him 2 weeks to get over. I was not sympathetic. The trip home was a bitch - 36 hours from hotel door to home. It's a long way to SA from here. It took a couple of weeks to get over waking in the middle of the night and wanting to bounce out of bed. I'd recommend it. Next time we will go to the Galapagos and down into Patagonia. |
