London to Wetherby

Sunrise somewhere over Europe

Good night’s sleep in the clouds, Kings Cross to Leeds then onto Wetherby.

What a superb holiday, such iconic sights, great food, wonderful people.

I’ve  travelled by coach, train, hydrofoil, motorboat, cable car, horse (?), cog railway, car and several planes.

So many highlights but certainly climbing all the steps to get to Machu Picchu, getting wet with the spray from Iguazu Falls, riding (very slowly) a horse with the gauchos on the Pampas, dancing the tango with a professional (well he was dancing the tango, not sure about me), the cable car rides across La Paz, sunrise over Lake Titicaca to name but a few.

Peru and Bolivia very similar countries then Argentina and Brazil similar but a lot more sophisticated than the former. I think they all suffer from corruption within governments.

Wherever we went the food was good, the cervice in Peru, the steaks in Argentina and great fish, especially the enormous trout fillets. I’m pleased to say I didn’t try the hamster delicacy.  Introduced to two excellent cocktails, the Pisco Sour and the Caipirinha, although I’m sure they won’t taste as good without the sunshine.
