                    <title>From Magical Mendoza to Beautiful Buenos Aires</title>
                    <description>I got to Mendoza from Salta after a 17 hour bus ride so needless to say I was a little tired but managed to find the energy to make it as far as an Irish pub a couple of doors down from where I was staying to find something to eat. Here I met a business man from Buenos Aires who spoke English quite well and gave me someone to talk to. It turns out after a few drinks this guy decided he wanted to</description>

                    <title>Beautiful Salta</title>
                    <description>Salta has continued with the first impression of a beautiful city there is a significant difference between the more developed Argentina and very third world Boliva. The streets are lined with more western type shops but the centre square is quite beautiful and enclosed by the Spanish styled architecture that adds to the beauty of most of the centre squares that I have seen and not to mention</description>

                    <title>Chow Bolivia...Hola Argentina</title>
                    <description>I spent my first day in Potosi organizing a mine tour for the following day and also a tour of Salar del Uyuni Salt Flats. Once I was all organized I had a look around what was once a booming silver mining town which since losing its well has still maintained a quaint appeal to it. I met Jana from the Czech Republic at my hostel and we got dinner organizing to meet up in Uyuni and possibly do</description>

                    <title>Surviving Death Road...</title>
                    <description>We arrived in La Paz a bustling and hectic city yet quite a site set in a valley surrounded by contrasting desert and snow caps. We arrived at our hotel and set out for dinner most of us having a traditional dish I chose the Andean soup every soup I have had in South America has been nothing short of delicious and this one did not disappoint. It was a relative early night as Nick Phil and</description>

                    <title>Goodbye PeruHello Bolivia</title>
                    <description>From Cuzco I was on the bus to the Lake Titicaca town of Puno. The first night in Puno was one for relaxing before getting up early the next morning to head out to Amantani Island where I was doing a home stay with a local family. First thing in the morning i was up and met by a local guide to get down to the jetty to catch a boat out to Amantani Island stopping along the way at the magical float</description>

                    <title>Inca Territory</title>
                    <description>From Arequipa it was on a plane to Cuzco the Incan Capital and after dropping our stuff at the hotel we headed out for a walk around the city. It39s quite a lovely city with the Incan culture evident throughout although it is very touristy as Cuzco is the base for many people doing trails leading to Machu Picchu. During the afternoon Nick Ted and I went and visited a church which had been </description>

                    <description>From Nazca I got on the bus headed for Arequipa...arriving first thing in the morning. After some food and a shower it was time to explore heading for the monestry which was huge and beautifully maintained. After some lunch at a cute little cafe in a Melbournelike lane way it was off to visit the mummy museum where an exhibit of the ice girl Juanita who was found not too long after after a v</description>

                    <description>I arrived in Lima late on Sunday night and even though I couldn39t see muchmy taxi driver still acted quite the tour guide. I arrived at my hotel and after a long dayI settled in at my hotel and got some sleep. Monday morning I was up early an went for a look around the colonial part of lima heading into the San Francisco cathedral which was quite beautiful and I happened to time my ventur</description>

                    <description>Well where to start....the past 10 days have been absolutely amazing Action packed with a group of awesome people I am hoping I can at least match the experiences I have had so far Saturday 16th night we all met and went out for dinner followed by a few of us Nik Luke and Lori heading out to check out the night life in Quito. We sampled some cocktails and some absolutely putrid shot than</description>

                    <title>Quito</title>
                    <description>My first impression of Quito was quite promising the weather good the people friendly and the taxi driving a lot less like and extreme sport. When I arrived at my hostel The Secret Garden it only got better 5 stories and almost mazelike the staff are incredibly friendly the hostel owned by and AustralianEcuadorian couple. I spent my first day catching up on some much needed sleep after no</description>

                    <title>Rio  Part 1</title>
                    <description>Well what a turbulent relationship I have had with Rio Things started out well when I met a Peruvian man on the plane who happened to speak English Spanish and Portugese national language of Brazil who after getting off helped me to exchange money and then get a taxi. Things took a worrying turn when the taxi driver sat on about 2030km over the speed linit ducking and weaving out of traffic</description>

                    <description>What a whirlwind trip to Dubai...while the stay has been only short what i have seen has been excessive The worlds tallest building the worlds largest mall and dancing fountains Once you get over the heat here it definitely gives the impression of fun I waslucky enough to have a friend of a friend take me for a bit of a tour and for the boys I work with it was in his Audi TT which was not such</description>

                    <description>I39m just sitting at the airport in Kuala Lumpa I think still not yet realizing where I39m going to be or what I39m going to be doing for the next few months and perhaps concerningly still not feeling any sort of nerves. In a few hours I will be in Dubai which I still can39t even imagine yet but at there I know I have friends of friends I can call should I need anything something </description>
