The Sid and Nancy Tour

How ya going guys? Well it’s been a while I know, so this is just a bit of a update as to what has been happening since we left South America. So since Iguazu Falls and it has been all go go go. We went back to Buenos Aires, which was great craic altogether this time round. Different hostel and different people. We left for Oz on 29th as we already had the flight booked, stupidly believing Visa First that we would have a visa by then. The flight over was good with quantas, I drank a little too much though in an effort to calm my nerves, ended up spilling a drink on the woman next to me, then took some super strong sleepers and went a little crazy before falling asleep half hanging out ... read more

It was the other county we (I) was nervous about visiting. We could write a book on the horror stories that we had heard...yet anyone we had spoke to loved the place and nothing bad had happened to them , personally, well apart from a lot of dodgy tummies and liquid loo visits. Bolivia turned out to be a interesting, sometimes very frustrating amazingly beautiful country. I´m glad we made it. We started in Copacabana....and town on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Unfortunatley not as interesting as the name suggests. Pleasant. We hurried on to get to La Paz, the tourist capital. Excited about stories from Mr. Crehan and the infamous book Marching Powder we were looking forward to seeing this place once and for all. We weren´t let down...its a good spot, not a very ... read more

Heres a little easy going chillaxing blog to fill in the bits since the Galapagos. The next one should be a big one again cos we are on our way to Cusco and the Inca Trail. So we flew back to Guayaguil in the south of Ecuadr after the Galapagos. Its a bigger city than Quito, the capital. And once upon a time a pretty dangerous place I believe being a big port. But loads of money has been pumped into it. It has a beautiful waterside promenande now that is gorgeous and crawling with cops so completely crime free. We only had one nigt here so visited it and buzzed about the city during the day. We taught we had our fill of wildlife too until we ventured into a local park and found Iguanaus ... read more

Hola!! Right well this was the one we were waiting for. It cost the most of any single trip we have ever taken, we had been thinking about it for years and it didn´t let us down. We arrived on Baltra Island on Saturday just gone. Good flight but hairy landing as its only a very small island, the plane banks quite sharply and comes into land at the edge of the island just over the sea. And the runway itself is very short and ends in the sea at the far side! We were met by our guide straight away and brought to our rather fancy boat. It was small but very well kept and judging by the others docked beside us every night we did quite well. Very first thing before even boarding we ... read more

Hola nos amigos, Hope all are well. We have been doing an awful lot of travelling sincw we last spoke. Making and breaking plans every few hours. I have read the lonely planet so many times I know it off by heart...really ask me anything. So in the end of all the deliberation we decided it would be a great idea to go as far as we can and then work our way back to our final destination i.e. Buenos Aires...that way if we start to run out of time we are in a better position to move quickly. Plus we do all the long hard travelling now. So after Arequipe we hit Nazca for 2 very noisy nigths sleeping, well lying down anyway. We found a nice hostel with a swimming pool...but at 4:30am the ... read more
