Hello.
We have left Cusco for the last time and made it to La
Paz.
So goodbye and good luck to Fiona, Shawn, Marlo, Guillerme
and
Jane at South American Explorers, Andy and Tatiana of
Cusco
Weekly, the bar staff at Paddy's, the Irish pub, and Gary,
our
landlord in many guises.
In
La Paz we investigated the many markets of the city, witches,
coca, and made time to shove lots of ice cream down our
throats.
Travelling south, we enjoyed a railway service that puts
British
Rail, or whatever it's called now, to shame before heading
to the
spectacular reflective salt flats of the Salar de Uyuni,
crossing
mountains and deserts into Chile.
Our
time in South America is running low; we spent most of
the
time in San Pedro de Atacama enjoying the sun and trying
to get to
Argentina. We managed this with a journey from Hell. A
ten hour
delay, without food, at the border in the middle of nowhere,
tyre
blow outs, and overheated engines virtually tripled our
journey time
to 24 hours. For the most part we, and our six other unfortunate
travelling companions, spent the time ripping the piss
out of our
increasingly nervous driver and guide Erich.
Marty,
an Australian, and I, the two worst Spanish speakers of
the
group were sent on foot down to the border post with a
note
requesting permission for our Chilean guide to enter Argentina
without papers; to use their phone and find out where
our
connecting bus was. Returning up the hill with another
note we
hitched a lift in a truck where Marty took over the wheel
and drove
up the twisting dirt road to the surprise of our friends.
The
Argentine police and customs, after initial gruffness,
invited us
in, fed and watered us and eventually, once our bus arrived,
waved
us off with smiles and kisses blown to us. Overall, a
surreal,
exhausting, but rewarding experience that has allowed
us to see a
gentler side of the authorities. We are now in Salta,
a hot and
charming town, enjoying European comfort at third World
prices
(for example: two Italian meals, garlic bread, a bottle
and a half of
wine, and two large orange juices for less than a fiver),
and about
to get on yet another bus to the Igazu falls.
Despite
all this travelling, we have relaid out the site, though
with
minimal I-net time and, at times, electric, there are
still a few
inevitable errors to correct. I've also fallen a little
behind with
emails, so apologies for this. Elsewhere on the site,
I wish to do a
long overdue issue of the Working Traveller soon and add
outstanding listings and links. As for JAB, the October
issue is in
danger of being published in November so the next issue
will be
short and sweet and sent to you all in a week or two.
Adios,
Shane & Deirdre.

Teach English as a Foreign Language / Mini Venture
The capital, Kathmandu, is mind-boggling as cars overtake
carts
and travellers log-on in Internet cafés. Being
a volunteer means
teaching English to children in state-supported schools
with sport
and singing thrown in, or teaching English to monks in
a few of the
largest Buddhist monasteries in the city.
