@Richard – well, I did work all day Fri and the flight was not until 20:00. 😉
FIVE DAYS! You’re losing it…
Slothy traveller, coming soon to BA blog near you.
That is serious Rapid travel. Looking forward to report.
[…] Kay requested better detail on itineraries, so step one was cribbing from blogging studs Wandering Aramean and […]
@Kay – thanks for the feedback, when I get back I will put up a map and the final details of how it worked (or didn’t).
And I hope PR is a delight!
Have fun! I’m taking advantage of the long weekend myself with a mini-vacay in Puerto Rico. It’d be great to see a map of the area you cover. I love your trip reports, and might copy your itiniraries one day, but I do get confused about logistics.
Do not miss Colonia de Sacramento – it is a winner of UNESCO colonial cities. Also, Paraguayan and Argentine missions are also winners.
@Kelly – it will be a bit of a stretch to reach Colonia, but I may slip it in between dusk and dinner! It looks to be only an hour each way from the ranch.
Enjoy Stefan!
Sounds like a great trip! Looking forward to your report.
Nice! Is this the plan, or something completed? We just got back. Thanks to your referral, we stayed at that Hostal Akapu. Hired a taxi driver (Spanish-speaking only) for a full-day tour of the island. Unable to buy tickets for Huayna Picchu, but hiked to Intipunku instead (last leg of the Inca Trail). The whole trip still feels a bit like a dream. (Too RAPID!)
