I'm going to miss you guys...
your interesting blogs and fantastic pictures...I would rate them all 5 if I had the time. I've been following you since the Cameron Higlands of Malaysia in July 2011, and what an adventure you've had in that year. I did have a chance to go back to read your earlier blogs about your year in Korea. So until next time...and there had better be a next time... take care of yourselves!!! P.S. When is the wedding?

End of a journey...
Sad to see your journey has come to an end. We enjoyed your blogs and fantastic pictures - what a high (literally!) you ended on! We wish you the best of luck with your re-entry to the UK. Take care and it would be interesting for you to write a couple of blogs about how you find being back home after a long time away! x

Fab photos!
As usual, your photos were incredible, and how wise to end your amazing journey in a most magical place! Now I want to go back and read of your adventures from the past years. Hopefully, you'll take weekend jaunts around the gorgeous British Isles, so we can continue to see the world through your eyes. Good luck transitioning!

Beautiful pictures and must say you guys had a very good holidays. Now I too want to go to this place and surely plan out my vacations with my family or might say with my husband. Firstly I will check out with my travel agents i.e. Airticket.co.uk weather they provide any services to South America.
