Change of Plan

July 09, 2005 20:56

Well this morning I ditched the Yunga Cruz trek as the team is dead on their feet and needed a rest day. Unfortunately another World Challenge Team is starting our plan B trek tomorrow so I have had to to arrange a third option.

We have decided to do the Takesi Trek instead and will be leaving at tomorrow Bolivia. Rather than the standard 3 day version we will be doing a 4 day variant where we will be allowing us to explore further into the Cordillera Real Mountain Range. I sounds stunning, as most of our experiences in Bolivia have been to date and I´ll report back on our return to La Paz.

Unfortunately I am still struggling to find any internet cafes with machines other than Windows 98 and as such can´t upload any pictures. My search continues and as soon as I find somewhere I´ll upload some shots to give you a flavor of Bolivia so far.

Got something to add?

About Giles Thurston

Hi, my name is Giles Thurston and this is my personal site.

I'm based in Ely, the second smallest city in the UK just north of Cambridge. I have over 15 years commercial software development experience, spending the first few years as an application developer before moving into web development and consultancy. I've led teams, managed multi million pound contracts and have a number of years of business development experience. My day job these days tends to focus on IT management and in particular Business Development but I keep my hand in by undertaking personal web development and design projects.

In 2008, after 16 years using Windows based PC's, I made the switch to a Mac and boy was it worth it! Although I continue to use PC's on a day to day basis, my personal preference is always to go with Apple products and I hope to blog about my experiences as a switcher here on this site, with various hints and tips which may be of use to anybody following me over the fence from Windows

Away from software development and technology, I am a husband to Leanne and father to Arlo James, who joined our family in April 2009. I'm a keen sportsman and enjoy a variety of mountain sports, including mountaineering, climbing (rock & ice) and mountain biking. I've recently got back into running and am hoping to do my first triathlon in 2010.

On this site I hope to blog about web apps, all things Apple & life in general. I also highlight my various posts, links & latest twitter updates from around the web.
