Choose to relax before crazy Bangkok, draw breath for a minute you´re in for a shock!

Choose the dancing road to Angkor Wat, learn of the awful regime of Pol Pot.

Choose to dodge the mopeds in Vietnam, get a great view of Hong Kong, up a hill on a tram.

Choose to see the effects of a devastating bomb. Choose gardens, eat sushi sing a karaoke song.

Choose to see the fish in the Great Barrier Reef and keep away from the Daintree and crocs with big teeth.

Choose to tour Australia in a little campervan and taste wine in Hunter Valley with a bus full of grans!

Choose to learn Spanish in Chile and go back to school, but put on your woollies the temperature´s cool.

Choose Quito to start an overland tour. Two months in four countries but first Ecuador.

Choose markets and rafting and soak in hot springs. Float down the Amazon in big rubber rings!

Choose buggies in the desert, camp under the sky, then hike to Lake 69 in the Andes up high.

Choose a llama in Lima and see a frozen Mummy. Helen´s back at the toilet with another dodgy tummy!

Choose Machu Picchu and the Valley of the Inca´s, four days of hiking we were total stinkers.

Choose camping at -12 with just a fire to heat us. Carry on to La Paz to buy a llama foetus!

Choose to see the salt flats with daft photos to take, then on to Argentina for great red wine and steak.

Choose a cold desert in Chile to look at the stars, sip on creamy hot chocolate whilst looking at Mars.

Choose to relax in Santiago then ski in fluffy snow, then off to Buenos Aires for an awesome tango show.

Choose to see Evita´s grave, Argentina please don´t cry. Choose to visit the cowboys before a day in Uruguay.

Choose to go to Iguazu and see the mighty falls, with the vast amount of water it makes Niagara small.

Choose to go to Rio for our last week in the sun, reflecting on the last 6 months it really has been fun!


So that is it!! What an amazing trip it has been and we are sad that it is over but so glad that we have done it. We have finished our trip in Rio, where we are right now before flying home tomorrow. I had my birthday here yesterday and after being spoilt by Craig we went up Sugar Loaf to see the cracking views and also to see the 'big fella' Christ the Redeemer at the top of his big hill as well. We are now going to have a couple of Caipirinhas to celebrate our last night here!!

We hope you have not been too bored with our blog and we will keep it for our memories.

Thanks for sharing our trip and we will see you all soon!!

Helen & Craig xx
