South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.

Leaving Madrid 7 August
Well chamartin station is all very well but I am glad to be on my way now. The train is wonderful and I am by a window so happy. I had a bit of an energy slump earlier and think I might lay off the Spanish coffee! Perhaps one a day is all my metabolism can deal with. I have had 3 this morning... The air temp is 29 deg C. I think Spain won a prize in the Olympic synchronized swimming; there was some excitement at the station earlier. I am glad it isn't all Team GB!
