I am enjoying a short break in Lima, Peru. Tomorrow I head up north for a few days and return to Lima on 28 NOV for some R&R. I fly to Santiago Chile on 30 NOV to meet the 2-Week Land-based Falklands IPT group. I will be staying an extra week in the Falklands and finally getting home late on 25 DEC. Note: two years out, it looks as if four of the eight slots on the 2018\/2019 Cheap Land-based Falklands IPT are filled …<\/p>\n
I have enjoyed some very good photography in spots–can you say Cock-of-the-Rock?–but on the whole the trip has not been as advertised and the travel has been taxing. On my first trip over the Andes (14,000 feet) I made the mistake of getting out at the top and chasing a few birds. I spent most of the night staring at the ceiling with a headache and some nausea. Did I mention that the temperate in my cabin was 49 degrees? And that there was no heat? <\/p>\n
On the return trip today I did nothing but sit in the van as we made our way back over the Andes again at more than 4,000 meters. I was feeling weak, nauseous, and dizzy. With a headache. When we got to Cusco I asked about getting some oxygen. We stopped by somebody’s office and pick up a can of O2. It was the best $12 I ever spent; after three deep breaths I started feeling better. Tonight in Lima I am feeling great. And yes, my third cold is finally gone. Hopefully for good. <\/p>\n
Between South Georgia and Peru, I have about a zillion new blogs posts done in my head (with several dozen images already optimized). I look forward to sharing lots of great images and lessons with you right after X-mas. <\/p>\n
I got online briefly on the evening of WED 23 NOV. As I fly to Tarapoto early tomorrow I will not have time to answer many of them but will do so offline and surely get to send them when I return to Lima on the late afternoon of 28 NOV. <\/p>\n
Happy Bird-Day<\/h3>\n
