Welcome to OVERLANDY.com


The Weasel - without roof tent, side windows, bull bars, spots, side lockers. In fact as it arrived apart from the roll cage.
 


This site is going to detail our 6 month journey around South America. Hopefully we will be updating on a fairly regular basis from Internet Cafes as we go.

Having spent 3 weeks in Peru a couple of years ago we have always wanted to go back and explore a little more. This time we don't want to be at the mercy of a tour itinerary. There is no way we could have seen as much as we did in those three weeks without going with an organised party but sometimes the experience is not quite the same as doing it under your own steam.

So the seed was planted. Like all good plans nothing was done until it was very late. Luckily we were both able to get unpaid leave for six months. The only problem was we had to start in August 2003. It was March already and we had no Land Rover, no itinerary, no plan, no route and no idea.

We write this introduction on June 1st - and have 6 weeks before we ship the Land Rover to Ecuador. We now have a lot more ideas about the what and the where but the work on our Landy has yet to begin. Our initial budget estimations have proved to be very wide of the mark. Let the adventure begin…..

Follow the diary to see how we get on.
