OK! So according to our calculations we have been travelling for fifty days now, which means that we are exactly half-way through! It seems like not even a fortnight ago when we were venturing off on the train towards London, not knowing quite what South America was going to be like, certainly in terms of safety levels.
Well, you've been following! The only "danger" we have experienced is being held at pen-point in the dodgy Retiro bus station! Besides the city-hopping, we have seen the incredible Iguacu Falls from both Brazil and Argentina, we have trekked and camped around marvellous Monte Fitzroy in Argentinean Patagonia and the terrific Torres del Paine on the Chilean side! More recently we stumbled upon quaint, wild west Tupiza where we explored vast Andean desert on horseback before driving through the wilderness of Bolivia, exploring flamboyant lagoons and steamy springs, as well as the awe-inspiring Salar de Uyuni! Currently in Titicaca's tranquil lakeside village of Copacabana, we are waiting to board the bus and cross the frontier into Peru where our first stop is in the oldest, continuously inhabited city of South America: The ancient, Incan city of Cuzco! We'll see you there!
