So... for anyone still interested (probably not many!) we finally got round to finishing off the blog. It all got a bit sidetracked after the last entry due to a positive pregnancy test in Sucre! After that we headed to the Bolivian jungle where we were due to start some volunteering with an organisation that look after pre-school kids so that the parents can work. Mae's morning sickness hit bad and that combined with the intense jungle heat and humidity, and several screaming kids, meant we didn't last long! On one day we were looking after 10 four year olds (9 [View Full Entry]

Lots of pics in this one!... make sure you look at the second page! J: Bolivia..... Crossing the border at the crack of dawn (as soon as it opened), still feeling a little worse for ware after an over night bus ride, me still looking like I´d gone a few rounds with a heavy weight and feeling like it too. Our Arrival was like a breath of fresh air, unbelievably! After only a few minutes in Bolivia you could see the immediate change in the people and thier surroundings. It felt like we had actually arrived to were we were supposed [View Full Entry]

This is just a quickie to update you on the crazy night we had after we last wrote.... J; Ouch! We left our lovely hosts Scott and Paula with a bang on saturday. The night before on friday had started with Bellinis whilst we prepared the for the arrival of the guests. Scott prepared an obscene amount of meat for a grand total on ten people that would be arriving. Asados seem to be effortless here and they have a great system of having a raging fire to begin with then spreading out the hot coals for the cooking. Its [View Full Entry]

M: So, it´s been a while since we have written... this may be a long one! After Uruguay, we went to Iguazu to see the incredible waterfalls. Iguazu is where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet, and so I thought it would be really interesting to try to see a bit of Paraguay - no one ever seems to go to Paraguay, it gets left out of the South America tour... so we thought we would give it a chance.... we lasted one day! We took a horrible bus (our first experience of long bus journeys here and we obviously picked a [View Full Entry]

Ham and cheese anyone? Arriving in Uruguay was a welcome reduction of pace from BA. Colonia on the other side of the mouth of Rio de la Plata was a sleepy sunny town, with river beaches and a tourist friendly mind set. Its easy to stroll around it in a day or if you feel especially lazy you can hire a golf buggy and really fly the tourist flag! It was our first taste of hostel life, chatting to other travellers over cheap (but delicious) wine in the cool courtyard as others strummed away on guitars and bongos, while others [View Full Entry]

M: We have done so much walking! And seen a lot of Buenos Aires now.... and realised that there is nothing bueno about the air... it is heavily polluted due to traffic. San Telmo district, where we are staying, is lovely though - old cobbled streets; wonderful crumbly old colonial buildings with balconies and shutters in beautiful colours; fantastic vintage cars; and the most amazing antique shops / markets you could ever experience. Today (sunday) is market day here, and one of the main streets is made pedestrian so that it can be lined with stalls. There is also a huge [View Full Entry]
