                    <description>A very quick entry for everyone nervously biting their fingernails in anticipation. We are home Got back last night to smiling faces at Heathrow and we're both now neatly tucked up at our opposite ends of the country desperately trying to sort out exciting things like insurance and finding a flat.See you soonNic</description>

                    <title>End of the Lines</title>
                    <description>At the end of the last installment I was a bit hacked off to say the least and was just starting to come to terms with being a victim of crime. We have both just about pulled ourselves through now and we werent even offered the services of Victim Support. It happened so quickly as we were walking down one of Arequipas many dodgy streets. I felt a tug on the camera case strap and for some re</description>

                    <title>Inca Stinkers</title>
                    <description>Well Im sure everyone will be very pleased and excited to hear that we survived the dreaded Inca Trail  and it was actually not as tough as we had expected. It started on Friday when we were rudely awoken by our alarm clock at half past four ready to be picked up and taken to the start of the trail. My cousin Sarah and her friends Lauren Ruth and MJ were already on the bus and as we boarded</description>

                    <description>Just a little one well it shouldve been before we set off on the Inca trail tomorrow Which since were on the subject Im absolutely dreading Im sure after the four days Ill be raving about how amazing it was but after all the good life and steak eating of the past five and a half months were so unfit and all I can manage to think about at the minute is that its going to</description>

                    <description>We had a decent couple of days in the attractive city of Sucre exploring and recharging the batteries after the relative trauma of the Potosi mining experience. The town is full of colonial buildings all painted in white. Despite its history it had a much more modern feel to it than the other places wed visited in Bolivia with good shops and tourist facilities and a massive group of teena</description>

                    <description>We left Buenos Aires for the third and final time the day after our short trip to the Iguazu Falls. As we boarded another luxury bus this time bound for Salta we were handed some leaflets in Spanish and a huge can of insect repellent each. At first we thought theyd come back around asking for money like people seem to do in Argentina but in fact it was a freebie from the government and a w</description>

We thought it was strangely quiet but realised that turning up when</description>

                    <description>After writing the last entry we went out to see Mendoza which is a small and leafy city with wide tree lined avenues and lots of green space. Being a Saturday night the main square Plaza Independencia was buzzing with drummers dancers jugglers and the token traditional Peruvian pipe band who were uncannily similar to a group who used to ply their trade in Plymouth every weekend. There was a</description>

                    <description>We had the longest day of our lives on Saturday weighing in at a long and testing 40 hours as we flew back in time from Auckland across the International Date Line to Santiago. Not only did we go east and end up in The West but we arrived in Chile five hours before we left New Zealand. We managed to source some good exit seats on the 11 hour flight across the Pacific but Catherine did have to s</description>

                    <description>It has been a while since the last blog and we have been pretty much nonstop since then so sit back buckle in and get the painkillers ready as this may be a bit lengthyThe skydive was where Catherine left off last time so thats where Ill pick up. The feeling of falling at 200 kph was amazing and like nothing I could have imagined. When the parachute opened it all went silent and we were </description>

                    <description>Before leaving Australia we had just enough time to venture out of the city into the Blue Mountains so called due to the blue haze hanging over them allegedly due to eucalyptus oil they give off or something like this that may not be completely factual but thats what Ive been told so Im sticking to it. We had Nics friend Dan as our chauffer and guide and he took us on a lovely wal</description>

                    <description>I have just about got over the excitement of Ramsay Street now but it took most of the long drive down the Hume Highway to Sydney to come back down to earth. I dont mean to brag but Dr Karl and Toadie in one go Amazing.The drive east was not as hard work as we had anticipated mainly due to the lack of traffic on the smooth highway and the variety of places and landscapes we passed.

                    <description>We left Perth last week on a hair raising Virgin Blue flight across half the continent to Adelaide where we had just a day to check out the capital of South Australia. The city is so easy to get around with the centre consisting of a grid of perfectly designed avenues surrounded by a belt of parkland. Like Perth it has a free bus loop for the lazy tourists and we jumped on board with the rest o</description>

                    <description>Ah the sweet smell of Singapore We are back in Changi airport where we lived for four days after our plane from Heathrow was diverted due to those pesky protestors at Bangkok. At the time we didn't really appreciate it but today we have been taking in the sights scents and sounds prior to our flight to Bali. We couldn't help but go into the lobby of the Crowne Plaza hotel just to take a whif</description>

                    <description>After the Phi Phi experience Koh Lanta was great  our bungalow right next to the virtually private beach was idyllic so much more laid back and less crowded than it's Andaman neighbour. We did make it to the beach party for a bit and I managed to prove to myself that I am excellent at beach volleyball. Too much relaxing is always a bad thing so we moved on to Penang after a couple of days. The</description>

                    <description>Some dodgy boat took us across a choppy Andaman Sea this morning to Koh Lanta off the east coast of Thailand. We came here from Koh Phi Phi and were pretty glad to get out of that place after a couple of nights. We've managed to find ourselves a bamboo bungalow about 20 metres from a quiet white sand beach and a clear blue sea. The trip south after Chiang Mai has had its ups and downs first stop</description>

We got to go for an elephant ride oxcart ride and bamboo rafting which was all a bit tame and cheesy but still fun I was even forced into getting out of the seat jumping down on the poor el</description>

                    <description>Our travels have now taken us up to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand where we arrived by plane yesterday afternoon. A bit of poor poor planning on our part meant we were too late to book an overnight sleeper train so the more expensive option had to be taken. It was good to get a birds eye view of Thailand on a really clear day and pretty much hassle free.Since the last proper blog entry we have </description>

                    <description>Merry Christmas from CambodiaWe were up before dawn this morning not because we couldn't sleep as we were so excited but to welcome in Christmas day at Angkor Wat. We watched the sunrise over the amazing structure then sat down on the grass for a civilised picnic of bread olives Camembert and nutella. All local Khymer specialties apparently.We'll put on a full entry soon but we hope every</description>
