Homeward Bound

And so the end has come. Thanks to those of you who have patiently trawled through our musings til now and also to Sar and Jen for their incredibly helpful supplements to our (at times) somewhat unreliable guide books. And of course to Erica and Ari for putting up with me and my mess :) Last words, a little resume of the 4 1/2 months.

best hotel: La Cupula, Bolivia

worst hotel: town where the Quilatoa loop starts (or was that a construction site??)

Food to eat: empanadas, dulce de leche, golpe bars, Guatemalan/Belizian breakfasts,
Argentinean steaks, afternoon tea at Llao Llao

Food to avoid: Ecuadorian/Peruvian cheese, Columbian Chicken , anything with feet in,

Drinks: Don Miguel Wine, Quilmes beer (Arg), Pisco Sours, Machu Picchus,

Highlights: Caye Caulker (Bel), Lakes (Guat), Quilatoa Loop (Ec), Pampas (Bol),Torres del Paine
(Ch), Bariloche (Arg),

Lowlights: Long buses, Peruvian roads, dropping camera in a river, having bag slashed in Quito, having to return Owen(the puppy) to his owner
