Home Time (Somewhere over the Atlantic)

---

After 4 and 1/2 months, 7 different countries, and more than 10 days on a bus (yes really!) our Great Adventure is done. 

We have seen mind- blowingly beautiful landscapes, swum in 3 different seas, walked ancient paths and seen ridiculous opulence on one side of the street and crippling poverty on the other. South America is a pretty special place.

We have (apart from a few sketchy interludes- see new Rio blog), loved every minute. As for a favourite country (this is what everyone asks) we can't choose. But what we can tell you  what the highlights have been. 

In no particular order:
1. Ilha Grande, Brazil
2. Iguazu falls, Brazil/Argentina
3. Mendoza, Argentina (Bikes and Wines!) 
4. El Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
5. Isla del Sol, Lake Titicaca, Bolivia
6. THE INCA TRAIL! Peru
7. The Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
8. Cartagena, Colombia 

We know these are obvious choices but they really are on the Gringo Trail for a reason! 

All of that said and done this trip has made us realise that we are Londoners at heart. We have missed our family and friends, and we have missed our city. We are ready to come home. After all.. we have a wedding to plan!
