Oh dear god, I haven´t laughed so hard in ages! Thanks for that little ray of random funniness, I needed cheering up today - I feel really pissed off for no reason in particular, which is kind of annoying! Ah well...Probably just hungry! hehe.

Have now done the second trek, and we got all the way up Pico Austria, minus 300m....we had to stop and head down to base camp coz it had snowed in the night so we took too long and it was getting dark (plus there was a blizzard coming in, apparently!) Sounded quite exciting to me, but no one else seemed to keen on having to call out mountain rescue.

Gotta be quick, but basically the current situation is that I´ve turned into a bit of a hippy (woolly beany hat, big green scarf, baggy trousers and far too much funky jewellery...plus, of course, the llama leg warmers! It´s a good look...I feel pretty damn hot, I must say!) and we´re heading off into the jungle tomorrow!

Will get back on here when I come back in like three or 4 days...coming home soon :( :( But before then, we´ve go a few days in copacabana when we´re planning to use all our money on clubs and cocktails - fuel-drinking, here I come! Bring it on!

hehe.

Lotsa love, catchya soon.

take care x

Ps: your dad should be on the next flight home - he´s got quite a lot of shopping, mind you, and might have a bit of trouble getting through customs!! :wink:

Ok, so I DID get dragged home in the end - i was hoping to make a sneaky getaway at the airport and stay in bolivia...Thought about moving to Rurrenabaque to make a living selling Snickers bars to tourists coming out if the Banana Club at 4 in the morning...! (Well, there's one woman there who seems to do ok out of it - or at least she made a killing from me while we were there!! - so I don't see why there can't be two!)

But anyhoo, they made me come home...some crap about visas and other incomprehensible political problems..! hehe. So here I am (and have been for the past...err...3 days I think!)

Me mam took me to Bournemouth today as I hadn't seen the sea in over a month (shock horror! Well, not really, as Bolivia has no coast line but hey) and guess what??! Flat as a bloomi' pan-diddly-ancake.

HONESTLY!!

Oh well, off to the Isle of Wight next week - anyone know what the surf's like there?!

Love y'all loads x x x

I probably would be going there in 2 months. Would you happen to know if there any nice hotels there? thanks. :D
