The big day cometh!

06.05.2008

It's upon us. Tomorrow we embark on 113 days of traveling around the world, and I really can't wait! However, after 10 months of planning I still didn't realise we'd have to be up at 5am tomorrow to catch our flight, I've bought most of my gear today, and in two nights time we have nowhere to stay and little idea of where we're going next! Awesome.

So, first stop Lima, a city that I have in my head as being a cross being 3rd world poverty and modern day consumerism. I bet I'm wrong on both fronts, but then what's new? Luckily Sue has managed to wangle us emergency exit seats for the flights over, and for those that know us I'm sure you'll agree we need the leg room!

But I won't bore you with too much detail, I'm sure we'll be able to keep you posted by the magic invention of the World Wide Web. Hopefully you'll manage to stay in touch with us for the time we're away, and please write back, it'll give us something to do after we're bored with each other :)

Dude you can totally bore me without the details.

Have a good trip though. Bring me back a slave.

I think both of you will be very surprised by South America. It is truly a cross of the old and new. Yes, capitalism and abject poverty. Sharm, I can hear you say "aaah, bless" so many times!!!! Safe trip. I look forward to following the progress. Thanks for the opportunity. TOP.

You off somewhere? Well I guess I should give you some advice. Er...trying anything once doesn't always work out for the best, and if people don't understand you, just shout louder. There, you're golden for a 1/3 of a year.

So, you're in Lima. You need to go see this little guy and steal him for me... http://news.uk.msn.com/week_in_pictures.aspx?cp-documentid=660699&imageindex=15#660699
