We just launched our new book “Sharing the World’s Local Food and held a book launch in The ArtHouse gallery in central Bournemouth to see the book released into the wild so to speak with the due explosion of food and fare that has been surrounding its development. The whole premise of this new style …

Three places to get off the beaten track in Bolivia
Bolivia really is an incredible place. Before we visited the country we never imagined it would be somewhere that would leave such a large impression, would be as impressive as it was. We didn’t really think there was a beaten track in Bolivia nor that it would be the place that you can really get …
Santa Cruz finale and the Pantenal
We were ejecteed out of the taxi at a supermarket to pay the balance of the tour, to be left there afterwards. Turns out that Michael Blendinger tours don`t give you the information you need and after a call to the organiser (www.discoveringbolivia.com/) who cut us off after the only point that she reiterated was …
Samaipatas Parque Nacional Amboro
Our bus cruised up to Samaipata, but didn´t stop. We realised that as the final destination was actually Santa Cruz, we had to be pro active and request the stop. A bit difficult when you don´t actually know what it is meant to look like. Either way we got off in the nick of time …
Heading into rural Bolivia
Our time in Sucre with fine wine, meals and European luxury was over and we picked up a microbus, doors swinging open when people shout “Paro” and ended up by a connection terminal with enough time to finally pick up a new SIM card for the m0bile. We had finally lost all hope that a …
Getting Sophisticated in Sucre
We rocked up in Sucre after a horrendous 10hr bus ride. Having hardly slept we sat in the bus terminal and drank cafe negro. Before long, Gerard, the french man we had spent the last 3 days in a jeep with strolled past the cafe entrance. He had come to Sucre after the Salar tour, …
Day 3: Geysers and Volcanoes of Bolivia
Pictures speak louder than words and word cannot describe day 3 too adequately. We were abruptly awoken at 4:05am, too early for all, especially with the cold that we faced when getting out of our beds clothed with our numerous layers and covered with 4 thick blankets. Either way we had another exciting day ahead as …
Day 2: The Siloli Desert
We woke the next morning in awe at the Hollywood-esque landscape. The dawn was just breaking and it seemed that the rainbow was being pulled by mother nature skyward. A dark blue was undercut by a faint yellow, when in between them an orange appeared, followed by a pink in between, then green, purple and …
Day 1: Salar de Uyuni
How the Earth can look like this is truly awe inspiring. We finally set off on the trip that we had been looking forward to the most in South America. We had met a guy outside the front of the closed tour office who was French and had lived in Guyana for 7 years and …
