                    <title>New Zealandagain</title>
                    <description>We were planning to head back to New Zealand one last time to see a few things wed missed to catch up with some friends and also to meet up with Colin and Roberta Kats Dad and Stepmother. We flew into Christchurch and picked up the rental car and found a place to spend the night as it was already rather late. Christchurch is still badly affected by the February earthquake with the CBD sti</description>

                    <title>Darwin to Melbourne</title>
                    <description>When we arrived in Darwin we met up with friends that we had met on the road who were to quickly become our adopted parents on our trip. Mal and Kay were spending 3 weeks in Darwin for the Darwin Cup and had secured us a pitch in the caravan park next to them. Meeting Mal and Kay meant that our Darwin experience was very different from what we expected. Aside from the usual tourist things we did </description>

                    <title>Perth to Darwin</title>
                    <description>Seeing the skyscrapers of Perth was rather a shock after seeing so few people or large settlements for several weeks. We were planning to stay with some more of Toms relatives who live there in a suburb of Perth so the thought of some home comforts for a few days was very appealing. We met up with Drew and Pauline and were made to feel very welcome into their home somewhere we could relax and </description>

                    <title>Melbourne to Perth</title>
                    <description>Our plan once we got back to Australia was to go to Melbourne and buy a car to head off on a road trip west towards Perth up the West Coast to Broome  back east towards Darwin and back down the centre through Alice Springs to Melbourne. A mere 15000kms or so over the next three months. So step number one was to find a car that we could afford that we could sell again in a few months and most im</description>

                    <title>Remarkable Queenstown</title>
                    <description>Our time in Queenstown after we had found a house to live in began with trying to find jobs. We had both come here thinking that we would be able to pick up jobs fairly easily. Unfortunately that was not the case. We started off going round town handing out CVs wherever we could but had little or no interest from anyone with no one even giving us an interview. We both joined all the job agencies i</description>

                    <title>A little trip to Melbourne and New Zealand</title>
                    <description>Our flight out of South America entailed a long flight to Auckland and then a little overnight stay in an airport hotel before an early morning flight to Melbourne the next day. Well that was the plan before we got to Buenos Aires airport to check in. When we got to the check in desk I was processed through fine but there seemed to be a little problem with Kat's. They kept saying there was a probl</description>

                    <title>Steak red wine and beautiful countryside  must be Argentina</title>
                    <description>We werent sure of our route from Iguazu but after a little debate we thought we would just head to Buenos Aires BA early for Christmas so we hoped on another bus south and arrived the next day. After a little difficulty getting across the city none of the public transport systems seem to be connected or want anything to do with each other we found our hostel for Christmas. It was set right i</description>

                    <description>We left Rio and headed to Paraty a small beach resort with nice old cobbled streets and buildings. Unfortunately our hostel wasnt great rude British owners who passed the attitude on to their staff and nor was the weather rain but still fairly warm but we managed to entertain ourselves walking down the badly cobbled streets cobbled so badly that you had to watch your step all the time.

                    <title>Brazil   from Amazon to beach</title>
                    <description>So the plan was to head to Leticia right in the southern tip of Colombia at a point where Brazil Colombia and Peru all meet together and right on the banks of what would become the Amazon some 1500kms downstream. Our flights were delayed and involved an overnight stop in Bogota but we eventually made it to Leticia. The heat hit us as soon as we stepped off the plane much more humid and hot then </description>

                    <title>Colombia  what a nice surprise</title>
                    <description>We came to South America without Colombia particularly in our sights although we were planning to come here. All the stories over the years of kidnapping and the drug war had made us a little apprehensive of Colombia like most of us in the west. However the more people we spoke to who had been through Colombia the more we were looking forward to it.So we got to the border of Colombia with Ecuad</description>

                    <title>Ecuador</title>
                    <description>We took a bus from Mancora in Peru to Cuenca which turned out to be a lot longer than we were told. The bus was over an hour late which meant that we were late crossing the border into Ecuador and missed the connecting bus. The border crossing turned into a bit of a farce. We got stamped out of Peru no problem and then got taken by bus over the border into Ecuador where we were to change to connec</description>

                    <title>The last of Peru</title>
                    <description>Our first day in Arequipa we set about trying to book a tour of the Colca Canyon for the next day. We managed to find a  cheap tour for 1 night that left the next day. Being tight as we are we opted for the budget accomodation option so were crossing our fingers it woiuld be ok. Tour booked we spent the day taking in Arequipa which we were pleasantly surprised by. Reading that it was Perus secon</description>

                    <title>Mosquito attack</title>
                    <description>We wanted to have a few days in the 'Amazon' which from what wed heard was best and cheapest in Bolivia north of La Paz. It isnt really the Amazon proper actually Madidi on the river Beni which flows into the Amazon. The only problem is that it is either a 20 hour rough bus ride or a flight away on a little plane. From the horror stories wed heard of grown men crying through fear of the bu</description>

                    <description>We took the overnight bus from Cusco and headed to Copacabana. We were assured that the bus was directobut in true South American style directonever actually means direct as we know it. About 40 mins from the Bolivian border all those going to Copa were told to get off the bus and collect their luggage. All 22 of us were then piled into a 15 seater collectivo and were driven the rest of th</description>

                    <description>After spending the last night of our honeymoon sitting in JFK airport we finally arrived in San Jose on Monday morning extremely tired and hungry Taca airlines possibly serve the worst flight meal weve ever tasted. We managed to figure out where to get the bus and took it into San Jose. After a sweaty walk through a very busy town we arraived at our guesthouse where we immediately crashed out f</description>

                    <description>Kat and I arrived on the Sunday lunch time just over a week after the wedding in New York. This must have been one of the most long anticipated honeymoons ever so we were really looking forward to arriving. We went straight to our hotel well I say straight as it took us ages to negotiate the subway from JFK to our hotel on Long Island. Still we arrived eventually the hotel in the middle of some </description>

                    <description>We left Sarajevo on Saturday morning and took a bus to Jajce. There was not a whole lot going on apart from some BosnianCroatian ceremony so we took a walk round town and had some lunch trying to kill time until our bus to Banja Luka. We arrived in Banja Luka that evening which is quite possibly the pits of the earth A necessary stop unfortunately to catch over night train to Belgrade. The bus</description>

                    <title>A little trip round the Balkans</title>
                    <description>We've been on our hols round a few of the Balkan countries for almost a week now although it feels like much longer. We started by flying into Split  where we got a bus to the centre from airport and met the girl whose apartment we were staying in which was really nice a tiny little thing which we had to ourselves with kitchen and everything you'd need for much longer than the one night we were </description>

                    <description>We arrived into Lima not quite knowing what to expect as the Lonely Planet paints quite a dark picture of Lima with theft and pollution. However once we were out of the airport and in our taxi whilst there seemed to be lots of pollution it all seemed safe. We were staying in Miraflores where most of the backpackers stay. We were only intending to stay the one night so we checked into our hoste</description>

                    <description>We had an early start to be picked up by our tour group for the Inca Trail. Wed had it planned for about 6 months as there are limited numbers allowed on the trail every day and its really popular so it was rather surreal that we were finally about to do it. So at 5.30am when it was still dark we met up with the rest of our group and set off. To begin with we had about a 2 hour drive to the st</description>
