A Quick Visit to Santiago and Valparaiso South America » Chile » Santiago Region

Plaza Sotomayor - Valparaiso

A Quick Visit to Santiago and Valparaiso 23 Apr 09 We arrived in Santiago at 11.30pm and after a bus trip and taxi ride, we arrived at ‘Chile Hostel’ in the Providencia area. After our hectic day is BA and Uruguay, we fell straight into bed! 24 Apr 09 - Santiago to Valparaiso We boarded the 11am bus from Santiago to Valparaiso which took about 90 minutes. The bus station was a good 2km from the Old Town, apparently the only area worth exploring. As we started the 2km walk, it quickly became obvious that we weren’t in the nicest part [View Full Entry]

One Big Party! Argentina & Uruguay South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires

The Docklands Area
Along Juana Manuela Gorriti

Argentina…..we had heard so much about it. Its’ stunning landscapes, delicious steaks, beautiful people, and its culture for partying. We had only 10 days to discover a little bit of each…. The other thing that was going to make this adventure even more exciting was that we were meeting up with a great friend from London, Emma. Little did we know initially, but the three of us were going to experience some weird and wonderful encounters in Argentina. 14th April 09 Buenos Aires was where the Argentinean adventure would begin. More specifically, it would begin at t [View Full Entry]

Adventuring across Peru South America » Peru

Plaza Mayor, Lima

Peru: 22nd March - 13th April 2009 Introduction We had three weeks to explore Peru in all its glory. We travelled from the coastal deserts, through the spectacular Andes, and out to the Amazon Jungle. We experienced unique cultures, ate local foods and met many beautiful (and not so beautiful) people along the way. Peru was truly incredible - the highlight of our trip through South America. 22nd March 2009 - Rio to Lima We were very impressed with our LAN flight from Rio, Brazil to Lima, Peru. The all new in-flight digital systems kept us amused until we touched down [View Full Entry]

Erin enjoying Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro

Sun, Surf and Sand - A Brazilian Paradise Ipanema, Rio De Janeiro 11th March 2009 - 15th March 2009 11th March 2009 After a 10 hour flight, we arrived in Rio de Janeiro at 6.30pm. As taxis are relatively cheap in Rio, we decided to catch one from the airport to our hostel, ‘Margarida’s Pousada’. This pousada is in Ipanema and was recommended by the Lonely Planet. The elderly lady, who owned the pousada proved to be very kind and friendly, however did not speak a word of English and unfortunately we only knew how to say ‘ [View Full Entry]

In & Around London (Jan 2008 to Mar 2009) Europe » United Kingdom » England » Greater London

080111 'The Phantom of The Opera' musical production - West End

Hi Everyone! We have tried to keep a good record of every holiday we have had over the past couple of years whilst living in London. However, we don't document all the day trips that we go on. It's these day trips that really add to the experience of living in London. So this is a summary of all the 'little things' we did in and around London in 2008 and early 2009. As you will see from the photos and captions below, we really did, pack it all in! A big thanks to all of our friends! Without you guys [View Full Entry]

Merhaba Turkey! Middle East » Turkey

The Red Mosque
Actually called Hagia Sophia Mosque

Turkey: 4th - 8th January 2009 Sunday 4th January After having just spent 9 days in Egypt, it was straight from Cairo to Istanbul, Turkey for a quick 4 day tour. We arrived in Istanbul late afternoon and were greeted at the airport by a man holding a sign with our name on it. We assumed that we were meeting up with our tour group; however amidst confusion we finally understood that this was just a driver….we guessed that we would meet our tour at the hotel. The driver took us to where we were to stay for the night - [View Full Entry]

Egypt Discovered Africa » Egypt

Spinning Dancer Boy

Hi Everyone, Welcome to another instalment of our wonderful adventures around the world. Feel free to leave a comment on the site for us - its always great to hear from our friends. European adventures have dominated our schedule since arriving in London almost two years ago. So it was decided that this time we would do something ‘not so European’. We thought that the Middle East would be different….So it was off to Egypt for 9 days…..and different it was! Saturday 27th December We took a BMI flight from London to Cairo. Cheap, but cheerful, and we didn& [View Full Entry]

A Day at the Track Europe » United Kingdom » England » Bedfordshire » Bedford

Me with the Ariel Atom 240
240bhp, 500kg, 0-100km/h in 3 sec! Driving this was the most fun I have ever had!

Every now and then you get to do something really cool. Recently, I (Stacy) was lucky enough to be invited to a track day with a few of the Directors at work, and some of their associates. An early start was required to get out to Bedford Aerodrome, about 1.5 hours to the north of London. Upon arrival we were greeted with a queue of cars that consisted of Ferrari’s, Porches’, Aston Martin's, Mercedes', BMW's, Atom's, and Caterum's. This was the playground of those that have much more money than I! The circuit was 3.8 miles long, smooth and open. It [View Full Entry]

Bienbenida a Sotogrande, Espana! Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Cádiz

The Rock - Landing in Gibralta

Welcome to Sotogrande, Spain! An invitation from Jason and Marisa to go and see them in Sotogrande, Spain, was a difficult offer to refuse: you know you are going to have an awesome time; you are going to dine well; you know you will party and have a blast; and finally, you will have the opportunity to take in the sun on the Spanish beaches (which is much better than being trapped in the bleak weather of London!). It was also our last chance to catch up with them before Marisa had the baby (due in mid-late November). 4th October 2008 [View Full Entry]
