Rio Carnival - Brasil 2007 - South American Adventure
by John Morris on Mar.03, 2009, under Adventure Travel
Hola! The adventure was a 3 week tight schedule which was to encompass 4 countries commencing in Santiago Chile. From here we headed up the coast to Lima Peru and across the mountain ranges of the Andes, soon landing in the high altitude ancient Inca City of Cusco. Here we discovered the wonder of the ancient Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. We then travelled by road to the amazing beauty of Lake Titicaca and the floating straw villages, onward into Bolivia to the thriving city of La Paz; then finally into Brazil to experience the colour excitement, and madness too of Rio de Janeiro and the world’s biggest Carnival Festival.
Mount Everest Expedition April 2005
by John Morris on Feb.02, 2009, under Adventure Travel
Mount Everest for me for many years was only a dream, a place unreachable, a place you only read about in an adventure book, magazine or a see on a television documentary. I was sharing a beer with a mate when he mentioned that his expedition to Base Camp Mount Everest was leaving in 2 days from Melbourne and they had a spare spot should I like to join them. I had until the morning to make a decision. As I drove home that night I was already in my mind standing at the base of the highest mountain on earth, I was going to fulfil a dream.
