As hard as it is, I've decided its worth trying to keep some sort of record of my post graduation travels in South America. If you're reading a recent update you can be fairly sure I'm alive, but don't assume the converse is true! I'd disappointed to return to a baggins-esq auction of my (few) possessions left in Edinburgh...
Anyway, I'm currently on board "Ernie" the big red TRUCK (not a bus!), and am traveling south for a leg and a half of Hot Rock "The Ultimate Climbing Adventure".
11 of us took over from Ernie's northbound crew in Quito, Ecuador - the 2nd highest capital in the world. The truck will retrace its tracks over the next 7 months back to the tip of Argentina. My journey will end at the highest capital in the world - Bolivia's La Paz.
I'm learned a few things already: knackered white spanglish speakers pay gringo prices for airport taxis, but it beats getting mugged or having incompetent airlines lose your climbing kit! My spanish vocabulary is growing frustratingly slowly, and I'm learning right now that blogging from a phone equally slow. More tomorrow, with pics. Hasta luego!
