The last few weeks

Hello,
I´ve been very lazy with this blogging lark of late and if you think of a good reason why then mail me.

So - since andy mac left bound for blighty over two weeks ago my head has been spinning trying to decide where to go and what to do. As such i fled Lima and headed to a town on the north coast of peru called Mancora. However, with easter weekend approaching all the hotels were doubling their prices so i again fled north into Ecuador and a town called Cuenca. A pleasant little cobblestreeted town where they´re famous for making Panama Hats - so i bought one or three.

My plan was then to head north to the equator and quitos then back down to peru for a few days on a beach before heading to Iquitos to head down the Amazon into Northern Brazil. However, that soon went awry when on the spur of the moment i decided instead to join Rodrigo (a belgian lad whom i taught to play backgammon and who nearly gammonned me in the 2nd game we played) to a town called Vilcabamba. The town is famous for people living till ripe old ages and year round good weather. We turned up and it was cloudy for three days. Still, no one died to my knowledge so we couldn´t have brought all the bad luck.

With the weather being a bit poor i basically sat and read the Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell which, depsite a ringing endorsement from Richard and Judy, is actually a fine fine read.

With 4 weeks and one day left of my trip i need to get a wriggle on to get to Sao Paulo (other side of the continent and several 1000km away). As such, i´m heading to a mellow peruvian beach town called Huanchaco to hang for a few days before flying to Iquitos where i begin my boat trip to Brazil.

While i´m in Huanchaco i promise to update this blog on a throughly fun and comedic fortnight with Andy.

I hope alls good where you are, like.

Oh - also I found a cool site where they give away daily downloads of music and as such my Daza has been slighty updated. Thanks to www.largeheartedboy.com I have no more Keane and lots more of coll stuff like this:
