Buenos Dias from Buenos Aires, So here we are, finally, in the penultimate country before heading back to Blighty. Can´t quite believe its almost over, 5 months down with under 2 weeks now left. Mad. Ok, but before that we need to fill in the Peru gap where we spent 3 weeks wining, dining and climbing. We left it last time having just gone over the border from Bolivia to the Peruvian town of Puno. We completed the trip to Cusco with the friends we´d made in Copacabana, although it wasn´t as simple as we´d hoped. No barricades, no protests just [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, we hope you´re all well and welcome to the Bolivia blog from the last couple of weeks. This was one country that we were a bit dubious about, but as you´ll read on we really enjoyed it. A bit of a step back from Chile, but it provided a more cultural view of South America as well as a view of the poorer side of the area. So, we start at the end of our Chile adventures in the desert town of San Pedro de Attacama. We really enjoyed this little place and were sad to leave (especially all [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Hope you're all well and enjoying the warm weather back home. Last time we wrote we left you in the middle of the Cook Strait heading to the North Island of New Zealand. On arriving in Wellington we were met by the warm waves and smiles of Jon and his wife Bridget. (Jon being Kev's dad's cousin, or Kev's 2nd Cousin we later determind.) So nice to be met on arrival in a new place and not work out how to get somewhere. We spent 4 nights with them enjoying great hospitality and being shown around the sights and [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Been a bit of a while since the last blog, apologies,,, expensive, slow internet in some places. To catch up from last time we'd just arrived in New Zealand to a slightly colder place than the rest of the trip. After picking up a car from the airport (christened J-Lo, because it had a massive boot) we spent the night nearby at a little place called Sumner on the Banks Pennisular. Gorgeous spot. The backpackers had its own bar as well, Awesome dude (as they say here!) The next day we drove down the coast to Oamaru where we [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone is well and not suffering from cold symptons where ever you are! Also before you read details in here, we're fine, no injuries, if that's got you wondering, read on. Perth Ok, so last we wrote we were just about to leave Singapore to head to Oz. We arrived just after midnight in Perth and in our wisdom decided rather than head into town to pay for a room that we'd only sleep in for a few hours, that we'd sleep in the airport. Genius... apart from the fact we couldn't sleep and nothing was open. So [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Welcome to the next instalment of our travel blog. (Feeling like Judith Charmers a bit here). Just so you know we are far far away from all the hassles in Thailand at the moment so no need to worry on that one. Thailand (again) Ok, so from the last time we were on the marathon journey from Cambodia, into Thailand to the island of Ko Samui. After a bus, mini bus, over night sleeper bus, bus terminal, ferry, wet tuk tuk ride and a 20 min walk we arrived in the beautiful Bo Phut on the NE side of [View Full Entry]

Its been a while!!! We've been having problems with our camera and so not been able to load up pics, plus too busy sitting on beaches, drinking and eating, which sounds a better excuse. Vietnam Cont.... Ok, so the last update we did was in Saigon, the day after we headed to the Cu Chi Tunnels which is where the Vietnam Communists soldiers (North Vietnam) used to hang out during the war. Fascintating place, see the pics of us in the tunnels, which were tiny, even for Maria. Kev got to fire off an M16 sub machine gun in the fireing [View Full Entry]

Hi all, Finally, after 2 failed attempts here's the blog for the last couple of weeks. Ok, since the last time we wrote we've moved into Vietnam, and have almost gone from the top to the bottom over the last couple of weeks. Its so beautiful in places and yet still so rugged and basic in others. Definitly somewhere we'll come back to one day. We arrived in Hanoi Wedneday week ago (4th March), after flying from Vientiane in Laos. The flight was,,, er,,, interesting as it was a turbo prop that made so many, 'not plane like' noises, and what [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Time for a quick installment of what's being going on this week. Last time we wrote we were in Luang Prabang, where we stayed a few more days waiting for our Vietnam VISA and did some sightseeing around the town. Looking at temples; loads of steps; walking along the river over ricketty bamboo bridges with motor bikes coming at you and yet more local food. We also took a trip out to the nearby waterfalls at Kwang Si. Crystal clear waters that you could swim in and chill out. Also a bear rescue centre where one looked suspiciously like [View Full Entry]
