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 [View Full Entry]

After leaving Salta we arrived 23 hours later in Iguazu Falls. Larger than Niagra and situated on the Argentina/Brazil border. It was spectacular. As we woke late and didn't arrive at the falls until lunch time we were worried about getting around the whole thing, so headed to the main attraction first, the Devils Throat. We couldn't believe ours eyes! Just so so much water! Actually made you quite dizzy to look at. There are over 200 falls in total and about 10 lookout points. The buzz of seeing the amazing power of these things coupled with the relief of being [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Cusco 10 days ago, from Lima. We treated ourselves to a cushy bus again and actually had a good nights sleep on it....thanks to some Xanex of course. Cusco was having a festival for Winter Solstice...to the Inca Sun God. As we have pretty much managed to miss very festival, party, or public celebration of any kind on this continent we were quite excited. Accommodation was hard to come by though. So the festival was lots of dancers and performers in the main square and then a 20 minute walk to some nearby ruins for the main event. [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

Hey guys, A couple of weeks ago we made a decision that after meeting so many travellers going to and coming from Colombia and saying how great it was that we would give it a look. Like Chile we had no plans to go there on this trip. Colombia was never a place we ever thought we would be, its a hell of a long way from Belturbet...maybe not so far from Tallaght though eh? So we got some cheap flights and left Quito for Medellin. You may of heard of here as it was the birth place of Pablo Escobar, [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

Howayas, Hope all is well. Great to talk to those we spoke to on Marks Birthday. It was great seeing you all too. For those we didn´t get to talk to we will try to call you soon. Anywhoo, since we have been talking we have left the lovely Iquique after a lot of chillaxing and doing pretty much nothing for two weeks. It was hard to go. We met some really great people there and had a good laugh. Cheers for all the Birthday wishes too. I had a great one altogether. Col cooked me a lovely breakfast that morning, [View Full Entry]
