Thank you Ben and Erika, it was the holiday of my life I would not have believed that it was possible that I had been part of all of this!!!! It was as beautiful as you say and I say even more so, at times the beauty took my breath clean away. To have shared all of this with the people that I love most in the world has made it a truly memorable event – I think about my time on the other side of the world very often and no doubt I will continue to do so. All love Mum xxxxxxxx

Great blog, Ben. You really captured our trip. Your pictures are fabulous. All the memories came back so clearly. I hope that you’ll be able to send us a selection of you best.

Thank you for your incredible generosity in organizing and orchestrating, leading our trip. You really were saints, you and Erika, with your poor ailing family. Thank you for not going into the details of my malady. I’m afraid it took antibiotics – 4 days after I arrived in Coroico for it to have almost gone. I lost so much weight that I have been able to eat huge amounts of food to this day.

We have some lovely pictures of Coroico and Sol Y Luna’s gardens – what an amazingly wonderful place for me – closest thing to paradise I’ve experienced in many a year. Thank you to you again. You are both such beautiful and fun human beings. I am proud to be your auntie – yes it was a priviledge to travel with you. Great to have been with your mum and shared her feats of hiking. I can’t tell you how wondeful to see her having so much fun in her life.
Much love to you both, Juliet

This is a fabulous journey story and the images are incredible. The Dali rock! Are you the red one on it?
And the lama image, and the red lake! And Erika kicking you! How impecably perfect they all look!

Are you guys still alive? How are you? You’ve been on my mind. Hope to hear from you soon. I’ll be in Cuba at the end of Feb. Take care, Irina.

Oh guys,
reading this story and contemplating your photos made me smile inside. By the end of it I felt like I made a long trip myself and my hair full of dust too..

For you a hug massive like a desert and strong like the train.

Hasta siempre
Fabio

Wow – I have just sat for an hour catching up on all that I have missed in the inteveing months since i last looked..I’m blown away by the things you are experiencing so first hand must be pretty special. Mountains, food, colours, animals, people, fiestas, blue skies, sunsets and sunshine! (more to the point!)
I can’t imagine why you would want to come back. Keep up the brilliant accounts and pics guys..now I’ve found you again, I’m hooked! Plenty Love up n down the mountain grange, xx
