                    <title>Japan</title>
                    <description>We arrived in Tokyo on the 1st August with a quick transfer in Hong Kong on the way. We had already booked a hotel on line opting for a one in the area known as Shinjuku the heart of modern Tokyo where the nightlife red light district and shopping is centred. It cost a bit more than the less central hotels but was obviously better situated for checking out the city at night. On the first ni</description>

                    <title>The Philippines</title>
                    <description>We arrived in Manila on the 13th July in the evening and checked into a hotel near the centre. It was really humid after Australia and just walking around was enough to break into a sweat. It was exciting to be in Asia again with all the hustle and bustle of the city and the typical madly decorated rickshaws and jeepneys and people shouting and living on the streets. Everyone was really fr</description>

                    <title>Australia</title>
                    <description>Having been to Australia already but having never made it to Sydney it was quite exciting to see the harbour and Opera House from the air as we flew in to the airport on Sunday 11 June. We checked into a backpacker hostel in the Kings Cross area and wandering around later that night bumped into an old friend of Ruths from home called Tinon which was fun.	Though it had been cold at night and</description>

                    <title>New Zealand</title>
                    <description>We arrived in New Zealand at 3.00 a.m. so hung around at the airport for a few hours and then got a shuttle bus into the centre and checked into a backpackers hostel. There were noticeably more young backpackers as New Zealand and Australia seem to be popular with first time travellers and South America more appealing to an older crowd. Everything was so organised for backpackers with things li</description>

                    <title>Brazil</title>
                    <description>We arrived in Rio on April 9th pretty late and getting a bus because the airport taxis were very overpriced it seemed really exciting a new country a new language arriving in the middle of the night. Wed booked ourselves a nice hotel online. 100 for the room was well over budget but nice for the first few days in a place like Rio and only a block from the famous Copacabana beach. For the</description>

                    <title>Santiago de Chile and Rapa Nui Easter Island</title>
                    <description>Friday 31st March we arrived in Santiago on the bus and checked into a hostel we had booked. Unfortunately it was a bit run down for the price and the rooms were damp and we were kept up all night by the buzzer of the front door as other backpackers arrived late. We did go out for a nice dinner and saw a young couple dancing the tango on the street for money which was fun to watch. The next day we</description>

                    <title>Argentina</title>
                    <description>We entered Argentina on foot walking across the border from Villazon to La Quiaca. Villazon was full of shops lining the streets up to the border a place popular with Argentineans because of its competitive prices. After clearing immigration we walked up to the bus terminal to see if there were any buses that night to Jujuy from where we could get a bus to Buenos Aires there being little reas</description>

                    <description>On 20th Feb at 7.30 a.m. we got a bus from Puno in Peru to La Paz 3660m in Bolivia. The views of the barren mountains some snow capped were really beautiful. We arrived in La Paz at 5.15 p.m. and got a taxi to a relatively nice hotel in the heart of the city. It was really chaotic with loads of traffic and every inch of pavement occupied by stalls and people shouting about what they were try</description>

                    <title>Peru</title>
                    <description>We arrived in Lima on Friday 13th January and got a taxi to the suburb of Miraflores situated on the coast above the cliffs. It is meant to be much safer than central Lima especially at night and has a multitude of hotels and restaurants. We spent the first day walking around checking out the place and looking for a camera shop which might be able to fix the zoom lens which is having some iss</description>

                    <title>Ecuador 2</title>
                    <description>Well gradually we got bored of the frequent downpours in Cuenca and had to decide what to do next. It was pretty much a choice of going to mountainshot springs or the coast and in the end we decided to go to the beach thinking there are going to be plenty of mountains to come. We therefore got a bus back to Guayaquil and then on to a place called Montanita on the coast arriving there in the </description>

                    <description>We arrived in San Jose in the evening of the 28th October flying via Panama City. It was funny to go back to the hotel I had stayed in on my own when I had been there previously. After a day in San Jose we went down to the Caribbean village of Puerto Veijo de Talamanca where I had also been before. It is a great place but it rains a lot so we ended up spending a lot of time in our room. During</description>

                    <title>Galapagos and Ecuador</title>
                    <description>After spending a day in Quito we went to Galapagos a few days before our tour started so we could do some diving and get a feel of the place. We flew to Santa Cruz on the 9th December and went to Puerto Ayora the main town on the Galapagos Islands. It was a very nice small town with a harbour a lots of boats. Our hotel was noisy so we moved the next day to one with a view of the sea and from o</description>

It may be a little long winded at first for you but thats because i am catching upStarting from the beginning we obviously went to Venezuela first. Spent a couple of days in Caracas then went to a place called Santa Fe on the south coast in a van we had hired where we chi</description>
