Another month has been struck off the calender having felt like a week. We left off as we landed in Santiago, Chile's capital city which is about half way up this strangely proportioned country. We spent a few days here trying to get to grips with our Que t'alls and our Como estas'. We checked out the royal quarters of city and looked longingly at the mountains surrounding the city which distinctly lacked the snow we needed to ski. We managed to miss this ski season once again by a single week. We also caught a world cup qualifier between Chile and Bolivia. Chile walked it 4-0 and we were leading the army of fans from our bandwagon we had jumped on. Valpariso and Vina del mar are 2 other cool, slightly smaller cities about an ... read more

Sorry bout the fact that it has been a while since the last update. It seems every new update is taking longer and longer. Since my last bestseller, all our time has been spent in the land down under travelling down its east coast and it's definitely been good to us. We have done a fair bit so I will try not to go into too much detail to avoid you needing a strong coffee just to get through. Having travelled all through the night with no sleep, we arrived into Cairns from Bali where we met up with Ro who had spent the previous couple months in Sydney. We happened to arrive in on Bens birthday and so despite the lack of sleep, we did the decent thing and had a nite out in the ... read more

Well although it doesn't feel like it, we have now been away for over 100 days with another 200 to go. We have managed to hop across 3 countries since the last update and covered I don't know how many hundred kilometers. We had just arrived in Hanoi in north Vietnam when I left off. We then went out and did a two day cruise around Halong bay. This place is incredibly beautiful and I think it is (or was trying to be) part of the new 7 wonders of the world. It is basically a bay which has a few thousand limestone island stacks and a few caves. The weather was a little colder than what we were used to but that didn't spoil it. We just cruised around, checked out the caves, borrowed kayaks ... read more

Picking up from where I left off, we had just arrived back into Cape town where we slowly said our goodbyes to all the crew from our overland tour through Africa as we all went our separate ways. It worked out well that a few of the group were sticking around for a week or so which meant that we were able to spend bit more time with them. Two of the guys from the trip were gay and our return to Cape Town happened to coincide with the gay pride event of the year called MCQP which stands for Mother City Queer Project. They sorted it so that 15 of us got tickets and the event was strictly fancy dress so the 4 of us picked up some pretty camp outfits and went as the ... read more

Let me start by saying the internet here in Zimbabwe literally takes 20 mins to load Google and so I cant upload photos here but as soon as connection gets better I will chuck them up. Well since last week we have done a fair bit. I left you in Cape town which is where we stayed a couple more nights. Wilson and I climbed Lions head which is a stand alone mountain beside table mountain and we nearly died from dehydration but the view made it very worth while. We then did one of these hop on/off tours round the city which was surprisingly pretty interesting as we saw parts of the city we otherwise wouldn't have gone to and they told us bout district 6 which was a pocket of resistance in the city ... read more
