G'day everyone... as some of you are aware we are actually back home in Aus now, but forget that, I am going to wind you back to about one month ago when we were just starting our adventures in Equador... We are sitting here at Guayaquil airport… and we have 6 hours to kill.. Sarah booked us on a 6.45am flight out of Quito for our connection to Santiago which doesn’t leave until 2pm.. And the flight here took just 30 minutes. There were flights available every 30 minutes and I did try to reason with her but she is a little overcautious - in a mild understatement! But at least she is at ease and with a good night sleep behind her. Luckily we found a café with free Wi Fi so I should refrain ... read more

Hola peoples! We are back at it again, sorry to keep all you loyal fans waiting at the edge of your seats for over a month, but the wait is over, here is the next chapter! I hope you enjoy… We spent our first few days in Argentina in Buenos Aires…which is an absolutely beautiful city that we have completely fallen in love with. Actually….we have fallen in love with the whole country…definitely our favourite place and we will be coming back again! We stayed in a lovely part of the city called Palermo…full of charming bars and restaurants, beautiful parks and even dog walkers for the rich! Was pretty impressed by that actually...we saw one guy walking about 15 dogs and he even had one in his backpack!! It is definitely the place to live ... read more

Hola chicos… it’s good to be back informing all of you wonderful people about our travels again!! Well, Rio was an unbelievable experience with carnaval. The whole place becomes electrified during this time, there is so much going on you don’t have a chance to take it all in, you just have to go with what you can. We finished our tour in Rio with G.A.P on our first day of arriving so we had a nice dinner together and then went our separate ways, although agreeing to meet during the carnaval. Sarah and I moved from our extremely comfortable hotel to our not so comfortable hostel just down the road a few blocks in Copacabana, which was just 2 blocks from the beach. It was a bustling little place with loads of different travellers and ... read more

Well the jungle…what can i say?? I think firstly the most important thing...I am now known as Queen of the Pirahnas. Yep! Crowned by our jungle leader himself. Let me explain…. We went pirahna fishing in the Amazon Jungle (how cool does that sound!?). And I, Queen of the Pirahnas…or the Pirahna Queen if you prefer, caught the most pirahnas AND the biggest!!! Yep! Ben only caught one…but i caught 6 and i caught the biggest!! Did i mention that already? (insert your own gleeful little cackle here). Our jungle leader Ráphael (a.k.a Shrek) was most impressed…and seemed to be quite upset that we couldnt take them home with us, but alas we were fishing, quite illegally, in a nature reserve so we had to throw them back…and we couldn't mention anything to do with fishing ... read more

Hi everyone!! Our first blog entry! We have been here for 2 weeks now and are finally getting around to writing it! Not slack...just busy. Now sit back and make yourselves comfortable, maybe grab a cup of tea, as we have a lot to catch up on. We started off our travels in Lima which, despite dire warnings of danger and boredom, we actually really enjoyed! We stayed at a hostel in Miraflores and our week was spent walking along the cliffs of the coast, exploring different neighbourhoods and we even managed to catch and movie and visit a Hooters! Yep, you heard me....Hooters. We did have a couple of bad cab experiences though...our first cab experience was taking a cab into central Lima to have a bit of a look around. I swear our cab ... read more
