                    <title>Conservation killing</title>
                    <description>Conservation in New Zealand is all about killing animals stated our wildlife guide on the trip to the Otago peninsula a short drive from Dunedin city. Bizarrely it seems the conservation focus of New Zealand is mainly that of killing and eradication of numerous animals and plants our guide explained. To all instincts this seems wrong and you start wondering if the Kiwis have actually go</description>

                    <description>Birds eye viewAnna CaswellFalling I spent Friday walking around like I had just fallen in love. There was a slightly idiotic grin on my face and I smiled wildly at anyone that vaguely looked in my direction. I was walking on air on a high and endorphins were rushing thorugh the system. Why Because I'd thrown myself out of a plane that morning and flown like a bird.  Something I've always co</description>

After a really enjoyable tramp along part of the Queen Charlotte I decided to spend 3 days walking along the Abel Tasman track. The smallest and oldest National Park in New Zealand and named after the first European to see NZ. He sailed across the world and discovered a new land. The Maoris saw him and sent out a battl</description>

I attempted to sit out on the deck and reminisce of another ferry crossing in Costa Rica. However the thick grey cloud and grey sea cold wind and smell of diesel fumes made things too different to c</description>

                    <description>Hamilton highlightsAnna Caswell I have been very slack at writing the blogs recently and I do appologise to the few of you that are still keen to read what I am doing. My excuse Well it is that I am working so hard that I don't have spare time to write witty and amusing things for you. In actual fact the truth is I do have time I just don't have the energy or the imagination  I arrived in Hami</description>

                    <description>Bach on the beachAnna CaswellCrazy Although summer is officially over here the weather is still pretty mild so the idea of a weekend retreat to the beach never achieved during summer was met with a great deal of enthusiasm. The excuse Pip's leaving get together before she flies off to Bejing for the year. The group Well of the 10 of us there were many familiar faces from the Whanganui trip.</description>

                    <title>Whanganui expedition</title>
                    <description>I dont know if it was because we were in Lord of the Rings country and a fellowship seemed appropriate or whether it is just a remnant of vet university that requires a large group for an outing but there were 10 of us that eventually set off.  A complicated friend of a friend of a friend type of arrangement connected us all together. Our destination  the Whanganui River. One of New</description>

                    <description>Reminising about the past a little late but my Mexico city update for MamaMexico is a city of many layers. Something I had never realised is that the city is built on a lake by the Aztecs. Why build a city on a lake Well you could consider the advantage of drainage the ease of transport by boat great irrigation of fields no requirement to build a moat or you could listen to the prophets a</description>

                    <title>Return to civilisation</title>
                    <description>I have to admit I was slightly dreading it for quite a while. Leaving Latin America that has been my home for the past 9 months and flying to New Zealand an Englishspeaking civilisation. How will I survive Well I have been in New Zealand a week now and I still feel very out of place and more than a little lost. The differences here compared to Latin America are apparent immediately. For a start</description>

                    <title>Time Travel</title>
                    <description>Apparently its not possible but somehow last week I managed it. It started off as a Thursday not the most exciting day of the week but far from the worst. I awoke at 7.30 after a maximum of 4 hours sleep I find long journeys and sad farewells slightly less unbearable if I am too exhausted to think had breakfast checked my bags one last time and started the journey.Everything was easy to </description>

                    <description>I left the lovely city of Antigua finally and with much difficulty on a bus headed towards Panajel on the edge of Lago Atitlan. I fell in love with Guatemala fairly swiftly as some places you arrive and wish you hadn't here the reverse happened I wished I had been here years sooner. Antigua is a cobbled street small town 'city' with a mix of tourists and locals dressed in traditional costum</description>

                    <description>Okay I couldn't come to Costa Rica conservation capital of the world without getting a little more conservation concious not that that is easy when you spend so much time with Zoe but here goes. I semi appologise for the rant but not completely.We visited Monteverde which is famous for its cloud forest anyone who watched Blue Peter as a child probably had some sort of fund raising effort to</description>

                    <title>Week in limbo</title>
                    <description>Zoe and I separated in Mendoza. I sent her ahead to make her way to San Pedro in Chile whilst I 'popped' to BA to pick up my parcel. I was hoping for a 14hr bus journey overnight there pick up the package then head back that same night so potentially only 24 hours behind her. However this is South America and things are never that simple...I arrived in BA and made my way to a friend of my u</description>

                    <description>At last I am warm again the only slight disadvantage is that I can't enjoy it fully because I'm actually working as a volunteer in a wild animal refuge in the Bolivian jungle......I'm behind on my blogs so the plan is to bring you all upto date about where I am now and then go back and fill in the gaps when I have more time later. Means that there will be a confusing time distortion but I tru</description>

                    <title>More Snow Problems</title>
                    <description>We arrived in Mendoza in the sunshine and were soon wandering around without the several layers of coats that had become the norm in the past few weeks. Hurray finally we could get to do some trekking without the weather interferingThe next day we decided to hire a couple of bikes and cycle around the local wineries. Mendoza is famous in Argentina for its wine production having a climate simil</description>

                    <title>More rain and just a little snow...</title>
                    <description>We left Bariloche at 9am just as the sun was rising no daylight saving here and set off across the Andes and across the border to Chile. A test for my new passport  would they let me leave Argentina without an entry stamp What would I do if they wouldn't Well after running off with my lovely new passport for 10 minutes the officer returned stamped it and handed back. Even easier when ente</description>

                    <description>Well at least on my return to Buenas Aires BA I managed NOT to have anything else stolen. Getting my passport replaced was pretty simple thanks to having got most of the paperwork ready beforehand and having a professional who has known me longer than 2 years ie Zoe to sign the photos. So I now have a lovely new passport even prettier than the old one. For a start the pages are green far </description>

                    <description>Or 3rd time really unlucky......Zoe and I were waiting at the bus terminal to go and visit some ancient ruins. I stood up to put some rubbish in the bin and a woman pointed to some keys on the floor and said that the girl in the kiosk had lost some keys could I take them to her. Meanwhile a guy was speaking rapidly to Zoe in Spanish asking questions. When I returned 1 minute later my bag was </description>
