Go back and check out the entries for Ollantaytambo, Uruguay and Cuzco as we have now added photos! Ok so it doesn´t really seem like we´ve actually done very much since we came back from Uruguay, highlight was definately the skydive! We moved hostel and this new one seems a bit more homely, nice to have a few less people than the milhouse, this one might have a few too little though! Our room here is lovely though, we´ve both chosen bottom bunks so its nice not to have to climb up or worry about falling out! Again there are no [View Full Entry]

We were to be picked up at 9am today from the lobby of our hostel to go for a skydive!!! (yeah we didnt tell mum what we were doing before we had done it!! and sorry Pam - dont know if your reading this, but you only told us not to do a bungee jump, you never mentioned skydiving!!!) We were both a bit nervous, but Marcello picked us up, and we had to go and pick up two more people who were going to do a skydive too. On the way to pick up the other two Marcello showed us [View Full Entry]

We got up (a bit later than we wanted to) to head down to the port. We had taken our big bags to the hostel we were staying at when we got back the night before so we only had our small bags. They were still really full as we had to have stuff for the three days. We had breakfast and walked to the port, wishing we had listened a bit more when the other girls from the hostel had told us the way! We found it though and it wasn´t too hard! When we went to buy tickets we [View Full Entry]

So far we haven't seemed to do an awful lot here! Our first afternoon we got settled into our room in the hostel. Its was a seven bed room with three sets of bunkbeds and a single bed all of which are taken. Me and heath are both on top bunks, next to each other as these were the only two beds free. There is only one ladder in the room though for all the beds which is weird and annoying! We did get back today to find that the single had gone and in its place there was another set [View Full Entry]

Hey South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires
Ok so we arrived in Buenos Aires today, really tired as we had to get up before 6 to go to the airport for our flight. Was really uneventful although flying over the Andes was cool! We've been trying to fill in the gap that we left in the blogs so you will probably get them in a completely random order as we finish and publish them. We spent quite a while in our last hostel trying to upload photos, thinking we would finish it off here, adding the words when we could so you could see what we'd been upto. [View Full Entry]

Ok so we were a bit rubbish after Kim left and didn't do very much! We did go up a little hill thing which was near the hostel. Not quite sure what its called! We got a finuncular up to the top (little railway thing) then took a walk across to get a round trip up and down on the cable car, then walked back along the top to get the funincular (dont know how its spelt so thought id go for a bit of variation!!) back down again. We thought we would get some really lovely pictures from the cable [View Full Entry]

Chile South America » Chile » Santiago Region » Santiago
Our room in the hostel was quite small with just a double bed in it, so small that you can only get into the bed from one side which was a bit annoying!!! We had only booked for two nights as we didn´t want to book for longer as we didn´t know what it would be like. Kim had also only booked for a few days but she was in the dorm. Its really nice here so we decided to book for the rest of the time we´re in Chile, partly because we´re too lazy to move elsewhere!!!! The hostel is [View Full Entry]

Ok so we thought we just put in a random blog. We´re in lima at the moment, but its a bit strange as pretty much everyone from our group has already gone, we´re here with just one other girl, but we fly to Chile later on tonight. Seems weird as we keep looking at our watchs!! Seems weird not being in a group of 11, but its nicer being able to go into a restuarant and not to have to re-arrange the whole place to fit us in!! The past few days we´ve been thinking about home and what we´re looking [View Full Entry]

this is really sad in some ways as our tour has come to and end and we are sad to not be travelling on with everyone, but it will be nice to not be in such a huge group!!! as we had had to wait so long to do the island trip it was later than we had expected when we reached lima. we just had time to have showers before meeting up to go out for our last meal all together. Nic was flying out that night so people were already starting to leave!!! we went to a bbq restaurant [View Full Entry]

we stopped on the way at a cool place with a pool, wish actually we could have stayed there the last night as it seemed nicer than Nasca!!!! we had lunch here before we headed out to go sandboarding and sand buggying!!! Caz again decided to stay at the hostel place by the pool as she still wasn´t feeling great. Nic and Gabby came with us sand buggying but decided not to sandboard. the sand buggying was really cool, felt at time like you were on a rollercoaster cos of the way the guy was driving over the dunes, some of [View Full Entry]
