It took us almost 24 hours due to faulty air conditioning meaning several frustrating hours waiting in a bus station in the middle of the night. Not worth boring you with the details as there' http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/blog-456926.html UPDATED WITH PHOTO039SHola Chicos I know I know its been a while. Weve literally just been too busy having an amazing time. Some of the most amazing parts of the trip have happened in the last few weeks. So last time we wrote we were in Santiago......seems like a looooong time ago. I did realise that we forgot to mention one of the hotels we asked for a room in Santiago asked us if we w http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/blog-456555.html Hola EveryoneSo its been a while last time we wrote we were at Machu Pichu. From there we moved on to Puno in the south of Peru. The town itself was less than inspiring but we were lucky enough to be there for the annual festival which saw people from the surrounding villages turn out in their hundreds. The costumes were beautiful and the dancing fantastic. Chriss favourite being the men p http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/blog-447045.html Hi EveryoneHere we go again but check it out....weve worked out how to put a few photos onPeru has been arguably our favourite country on the whole trip. That really is some statement but literally every place weve visited has been special. From Lima we headed south to the desert oasis that is Huacachina. Originally we thought this may just be a convenient stop for the night on our way to http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/blog-439904.html Warning Warning Some of the content in this blog is pretty gross thought wed warn you all in advance. It was really sad to leave Lake Atitlan in Guatemala as wed spent quite a long time there and really got to know the place. Still thats the nature of our trip and as always there have been plenty of other amazing places to keep us occupied. Antigua was next and we loved it. We spent a f http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/blog-435546.html Hi everyone go get yourself a coffee....this is quite a long oneSo where were we....looks like the last you heard we were in Acapulco.....is that right Yes....

After leaving Miami we flew to Cancun home of drunk Americans on Spring Break but more importantly the rebirth of our haggling skills and looking for the cheapest accommodation. We only spent one night in Cancun because basically theres not a lot going on if youre away from the massively out of our budget http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/blog-424820.html Hello you lot we thought we'd better give you all an update on our trip seeing as we go to Mexico tomorrow. This poxy computer doesn't allow me to get pictures from our camera onto this so you'll have to make do with my ramblings. Hopefully we'll be able to sort some pictures again further into the trip. So we were in Philly last time we wrote well we headed to Nashville after that for the http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/blog-421209.html Hi you lotBack on the road We've just had a couple of hectic weeks back in England dancing the night away at Julie and John's wicked wedding meeting the gorgeous baby joseph sorting out our house and visiting our lovely families.

The hotel was just out of this world and we were upgraded to a suite overlooking the http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/blog-409113.html Hi EveryoneAfrica has been absolutely amazing. We started off in Zanzibar where Em celebrated her birthday in style in our 5 star resort. The hotel was just out of this world and we were upgraded to a suite overlooking the ridiculously turquoise sea. On the big day itself we also managed to blag the 'private diners table'.....just us two in our own right on the beach. Needless to say it was o http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/blog-403269.html Hello everybodyFinally we are on a computer that we can spend a bit of time on. Thought you might like to hear what we've been up to. The last time we wrote this was way back in the Indian Desert.....right are you sitting comfortably Then we'll begin After getting ourselves back to Delhi we flew down to the south of India for some sunshine. Em's mum and dad came out to join us for a hilar http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/blog-397975.html Udaipur Mount Abu Jodpur and JaisalmerUdaipur started with a bang. Some mix up with our hotel meant they not only moved us to a different room to the cool one we'd prebooked but they tried to move us to a different hotel on the second night. A couple of hours haggling Em falling down some stairs and a lot of ranting later......we were given a free night and moved into the best room in the pl http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Udaipur/blog-380221.html Bundi and ChittorgarhFrom Pushkar we took our first taxi ride assuming this would be absolute luxury compared with the buses we'd seen racing around. We were wrong. We arrived in Bundi after a pretty awful journey. The roads were probably the worst either of us have ever been on and nobody told our driver what the white lines in the middle of the road are for. Anyway we got there safely if a http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Chittorgarh/blog-380214.html Hi everyoneWe've finally reached a place where the internet seems to work relatively well and know you must all be desparate to find out what we've been up to. So last thing we told you about was Delhi....here's what happened next.....To get away from the mayhem of Delhi we took the 11.30pm overnight train to Ajmer Junction. The station proved easy enough to negotiate with trains labelled in Eng http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Pushkar/blog-372910.html The Beginning Delhi And so it begins ..... As the plane landed in Delhi we began to brace ourselves for the inevitable mayhem and cultural shock that was about to greet us. We made it through customs fine although very slowly after picking the worst queue to drag out the suspense Our bags were there too so all seemed to be going well However as we entered the arrival hall we easily f http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Pushkar/blog-366820.html
