Santiago to Chelmsford | dances with llamas
https://danceswithllamas.wordpress.com/2012/11/02/santiago-to-chelmsford
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Leave a comment ». Some years ago I stayed in a hotel in Kuching, the provincial capital of Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo. In the bedside cabinet was a copy of the Book of Buddha, of which I read the opening chapters one humid tropical jetlagged night. The storyteller describes how he might think, ‘How useful this raft has been to me! Why don’t I hoist it on my head or carry it on my back, and continue on my journey? November 2, 2012 at 4:49 pm.

Travel Flurry | dances with llamas
https://danceswithllamas.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/travel-flurry
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Please excuse my silence. I was reminded recently that I have not written any accounts since I left Chile in November. I have been in the UK since then, and am lodging with friends. Kind friends. Generous, patient, tolerant friends. And I have been catching up with people I have seen little of during the six years I was away. And I would love to see you toodo invite me! Madaba, Dead Sea, Umm Qais, Amman).

Petra | dances with llamas
https://danceswithllamas.wordpress.com/petra
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Leave a comment ». Established around 300BC, Petra was a major city for the Nabatean people. Despite its desert location the area experiences flash floods. The Nabateans dug canals and cisterns to create a year-round water supply. It is thought the Nabateans lived in tents, like today’s Bedouin. That is why the city has hundreds of tombs, but very few houses or civic buildings. In a (somewhat criticised) internet poll, Petra was voted as one of Seven New Wonders. San Ma...

Peruvian Highlands | dances with llamas
https://danceswithllamas.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/peruvian-highlands
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Leave a comment ». During September I spent ten days in northern Peru, probably my final international journey before leaving South America. After checking-in at Santiago airport I waited in a bar in order to watch two sets of Andy Murray’s topsy-turvy US Open final, the two sets he lost as it turned out! I used LC Peru to reach two northerly destinations, Cajamarca and Huaraz. I have included a short account of each with some photographs; follow these links:. Carretera...

Tanzania: Karatu | dances with llamas
https://danceswithllamas.wordpress.com/tanzania-karatu
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Having left the school on the Saturday morning after four intense days discussions, I checked into the Lush Garden hotel, which was a million times more lush than I am used to. In fact I even had to return to reception to double-check the price, which seemed very low for the luxurious suite I was given! We passed Lake Manyara and then climbed the steep incline to the plateau on which Karatu sits. Arriving in Karatu, we were all pleased to clamber out of the minibus and ...

Huaraz | dances with llamas
https://danceswithllamas.wordpress.com/peru-pages/huaraz
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Compared to my previous 5am flight to Cajamarca. Waking at 7am to travel to Huaraz one Sunday morning felt luxuriously laid-back. I shared a taxi to the airport in Lima with Simon, a friend from Santiago who had been in the Peruvian capital for a trade fair. Although not, as far as I know, a Fair Trade Trade Fair. There were just seventeen of us on board the small LC Peru aircraft that morning. The following day we travelled to the Lazy Dog Inn, up a different valley th...

Bags | dances with llamas
https://danceswithllamas.wordpress.com/bags
Just another WordPress.com weblog. It is relatively challenging carrying eight bags across London by train. Then I took a walk round the block, looking for street dogs, which are a feature of Santiago. A friend had given me meat for this purpose from our asado. Simon, who had driven me to the airport, was amused and wished me luck. With a Chilean man-hug he was gone, leaving me to find a way aboard the aircraft with my overweight hand luggage. Would they spot my excesses at the gate? I separated my strap...
