hello!!! Well its been a little longer this time, since i last was on a blog! I'm not quite sure where the last 18 months have gone but the road is calling once more so i have a week to try and condense my life once more into a even smaller rucksack before i set off to a life of curry for 3 meals a day and probably to have my concept of personal space challenged every minute. Looking at my last blogs i seem to get less prepared with each trip. Last time i had a return ticket, a guide book and 7 months to fill, this time i have a one way ticket, a vague plan of a few places i want to see and no idea of when i will be back! Whatever ... read more

So i hope your impressed its only been about 2 weeks since the last blog and we´ve made it to equador!! Obviously not without the usual adventures but more of that to follow! Having spent a few days doing a bar crawl around bogata (well it means you see the city!) including having some local fermented maize drink which i still wonder if they aim to make it that bad, we decided to leave and head south. Obviously being the disorganised people that we are this did not happen early and then we spent 2 hours trying to find the right road out of bogata (1 vague tourist map and the lonely planet - who needs GPS!!!) Road successfully found we head off to zona cafe in the such of some good coffee. Obviously by now ... read more

So where to start, again its been a while - apologises.We are currently on the banks of the amazon after what has to be our silliest idea yet but more of that to come! We decided to bomb it up to the north coast of brazil and put in a few epic days needing to recover for about a week on the caost as a result. Daisy i now over 21 (and only just 3 months old) which is the equivalent to driving half way around the world on the equator! The last few weeks we have been so far off the tourist route that we seem to have ended up being the tourist attraction. Literally anywhere we stop to get pétrol, fix things on daisy or just have a bum break we end up surrounded ... read more

So this may be a long one - apologises!! Firstly lets get one thing straight. I have had a few comments about me cruising around south america on the back of a motorbike. I would like to point out I don´t only sit on the back!! I do occassionally drive! Daisy turned 5 the other day and out of those 5000km I have probably driven about 500km (even share I think!). I can only really drive the stright tarmaced bits with no traffic and minimal bends so this means aaron drives all the dirt, bendy, busy and scary bits which generally means most of it!!! He doesn´t seem to mind though as apparently sitting on the back whilst your driven around by a slightly dodgy girl driver does nothing for your masculine image!!! Since last time ... read more

Hola Wohoo! Back to the world of blogging! So what can I tell you. After the joyous nature of our 26 hour plane journey to buenos aires we didn´t really see that much of buenos aires. Made it to the coolest cemetary the world has ever seen (yes I know me and graveyards never mix but this one is very cool!) and attempted to find some good steak (I had a mouthfull - but still not back to the world of the carnivous I´, afraid pops!) - (kay talc still wins!) but we weren´t really in the mood for huge cities so what do most normal people do when they´ve just got off the worlds longest plane journey - yep we booked ourselves on the first 14 hour bus ride out!! Argentinian buses are amazing! National ... read more
