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.

Thinking of where to start - Albenuelas - 7 April 2014
Bizarrely enough, I think that starting in the right place is just as important as ending in a good place. I will remember both equally - probably the start more as I will be fresh from work. And there is no real logic in where to start. You can look at time, distance, logistics, and do loads of calculations. At the end of the day Albenuelas looks good to me. I blame Google Earth because I managed a "virtual" walk along a river valley which was described (in a random blog) as fertile and rich with olives. It looked lovely too (on Google Earth). But I am sure the reality will be better, whatever the weather.
