I'd love to go one day, but having read your somewhat harrowing adventures, I'm not sure I'll take that route. The locals must be used to seeing strangers (and tourists) passing through, but at one time I found myself in tiny, insignificant villages in Columbia, where no one speaks english and everyone stares, since I'm clearly not one of them, and they're not used to seeing interlopers . It appears that you didn't get much sleep on this trip. Hard to believe you'd have enough energy to keep going. Next time try ear plugs (to block out the snorers) and maybe even some knock-out drugs to get some rest. Loved the pictures...too bad there weren't more. Great article, Rob.
