DELHI-BELLHI
i have a dose of tummy trouble so will be brief.RE.the trip to Cafayte,I had an interpreter for this trip,a young man who could hardly speak English which made the going a bit hard,but I did ascertain that the old man and the llama ,that ros referred to were called Asterix and Obelisk for reasons best known to themselves.My interpreter kept pointing out various rock formations,such as the frog,and the Titanic with leonardo and Kate winslet at the fore.Obviously we werent on the same drug as he was,which brings me to the return journey.Our driver,who had been driving all the time as if his life depended on it,descided to turn on the passengers with coca leaves,and as several middle aged argentinian ladies,politely chewed,boisterous clapping and singing broke out,of local ballads.After about half an hour of this,they all descided that it was the two brits turn.Help.We racked our brains,then Ros eventually very bravely sang my bonnie lies over the ocean,and all the argentinians joined in with a resounding bring back,bring back my bonnie to me.And on that note,I am back to dry crackers and weak tea. love from Sue x

hi dear ros and sue, cannot believe you are already heading back to the eastern side - and that you are on your way home - no, you cannot stop this tour which we ar all enjoying so much at least I'm presuming there are lots of other silent people reading it and enjoying it) - loved all the bits from chile - and really brought home those terrible days when the news was always so terrible from Chile.
And great photo of Valparaiso - and really looking forward to your photos.
no news from here really - much love fenella
