Tales from the Gringo Trail

"Let's just chuck it all in and go to South America" Lisa said one day. Other people do this I thought, but surely not us?Strap yourself in for a hilarious and rollicking tale of a couple with entirely different ideas on what to do and see, the best way to go about it, and of course how to spend their tight budget.

Sampling everything from the steamy wilds of Venezuela, to the freezing peaks of the Andes, from the fury of the Pacific Ocean to the parched Bolivian desert, not to mention a dozen other death-defying experiences along the way.

All without much clue of what was happening until it happened. Fear not, I too have read a lot of travel books, so this is guaranteed not to include self-discovery, over descriptiveness and incessant droning about scenery. You'll find some top tips and of course an introduction to all the people we met along the way - The Good, The Bad and the Downright Annoying**Spoiler - plenty of these.
