Here are some highlights.
AMERICA – This is what i travelled around in. It’s a mustang convertable 4.9 V6. It went like stink up to 110 then cut out.
Shame that.
TIKAL RUINS – This fuck off terantula decides it likes the look of the guides shoes and closes in for a closer look.
BRAZIL – Pele’s footprint – Mighty smelly
I’ve entered a couple for the wanderlust competition in the hope I might win some free flights or a camera.
You can find the competition on their wbsite, its’ open to all, if you have some old travel photos that might win a prize.
Old Skool
One of my old skool friends won last year, not that i’ve knobbled the judges or anything.

AMERICAS 2005:
Tyke’s travel tips
Here are some travel tips for those planning a trip to south america.
1- NEVER ARRIVE AT NIGHT – chances are you’ll be making those gruelling 20 hour plus bus journeys, the last thing you want is to be wandering round a strange town with all your stuff at the dead of night.
2- YOU WILL GET ROBBED – depending on your outlook, this may be funny, mildly annoying or a personal tragedy. Keep you passport and sexually integrity intact, these things are more difficult to replace.
3- BRING A RUCKSACK NOT A SUITCASE – it may have handles, but I’m afraid that won’t cut it. Lima doesn’t have a Marriott, holiday inn, motel 8 or McDonald’s. Expect to get sand in your wheels and strange looks.
my advice buy a nice purple rucksack (like mine :)).
4- LEARN TO SPEAK SPANISH – better than waving your arms around, you can make friends and get yourself out of trouble, converse in shops etc. etc.
it costs nothing.
invaluable.
