You guys are funnnnnnnnn!
Hey guys,
Found your blog via favela comments (Mike) on World Hum. In complete agreement. Good on you.
Just got back from Uruguay (lived in Montevideo, plan on going back in a few months), so seeing Punta del Diablo and the dude with the mate was fantastic.
Seguiré leyendo. Un abrazo,
Dominic
Thanks Dominic – I wish we’d gotten to spend more time in Montevideo… it was a fascinating place for the one day we got to visit. I think it was a national holiday, actually… everyone was down on the boardwalk fishing and picnicking.
The people in Uruguay are some of the classiest we’ve met in the world (although if you spend enough time there I’m sure you’re exposed to the other side as well). You’re lucky to be in such a special little country.
Take care,
Mike
Hey you two!
It’s been always a dream to travel with someone special and I’m glad you are doing that!
Have a good one!
Hi both …
Greetings from smoggy Shanghai.
You have a great thing going here … enjoying your back-issues and looking forward to future posts!
Cheers,
Trent
just found your lime incidents, and its great to read cause here i was traveling through the Mentawie Island in indo, and when u get reef cuts from surfing there is an old wifes tale to put on limes on the cut, and yep same thing happened to me, burns and blisters on my skin.
looking at your photo helps my mind relax, cause i was thinking i had some kind of ‘staph’ infection from the reef.. 2 lots of antibiotics later and i read your blog.
you gotta love travelling and the things you learn !!
Sorry that happened to you, Dara. But at least you’re in Indonesia, that should make it all better!
