Getting to Tarapoto is relatively easy from an towns north of Lima along the Peruvian coast. We went from Chachapoyas which which involved getting a shared taxi to Pedro Ruiz and then jumping on one of the busses that passed through. It took us around 6 hours by bus from Pedro Ruiz.

Phase 2 of our journey is complete. We have just spent 4 glorious days in the very beautiful paraty. We arrived on Saturday afternoon. The bus journey from rio was very comfortable. I can honestly say that, in my very nearly 27 years, I have never seen as many trees as I saw in that 4 and a half hours. Brazil is so beautiful!
We ambled around the colonial town of Paraty in the afternoon. It was much more relaxed than rio. The cobble streets are more like boulder streets! Very difficult to walk on in flip flops with blisters. There are loads of little quirky shops. It is only a small town, about the same size as Crediton (or Builth Wells for you welshies), so I find it hard understand why they need about 10 chemists?! In the evening we walked down to the seafront and had a Paraty

Travellers Recommended Reading
What i read about backpacking around the world, their are alot of travel stories and blogs which tell you you should always have something to read. There for I am going to keep a record of what I read. Not neciserially a book review, just to say I have read and I think it would be worth reading.
Mr Nice is an autobiography of Howard Marks. A Welshman from the valleys Howard Marks once had 45 ish different names, nearly a hundred phone numbers and made his money smuggling Marijuana. This is not a book about drugs although they obviously play their part, its a story of a man who travelled round the world thinking very cleverly about how to smuggle Marijuana from place to place. A very interesting book which includes alot of travel and well worth Mr Nice, Howard Marks

[ad#Samll Square - Align Right]Working a ski season is a blast, having worked as a chalet host (tips) in Les Arcs 2000 i know how much fun they can be. I am also aware of what a mind field it can be trying to find a a job, not because there are so few out there but because there are so many to choose from. So many companies offering different packages and so many ski resorts to choose from.
