We've been on wine tours and out partying in the streets for Chile's celebrations, we've met some lovely people at the hostel and have managed to sleep in a dorm for two weeks. We're now packed and ready for a new adventure.
It's been roughly seven and a half months since we left snowy England and since then we've had the time of our life. Central America for five months and South America for three, I think we may have got our timings a little upside down when you compare their sizes.
South America is huge, HUGE and three months seems such a small amount of time to see and do everything that you want. We've not done too badly though; diving in the Galapagos, climbing Machu Picchu, bombing around salt deserts, boating through the jungle, speeding under Iguazu Falls, meeting up with friends in Buenos Aires and sampling some of the highlights of Santiago. If anything, the trip has made us want to come back armed with more time and some camping gear.
We have loved every minute and are so pleased to have experienced South America, but as always we are very excited about getting back
to the water. We have an overnight flight (14hrs) to LA tonight with a 19 hour wait and then on to another overnighter to Hong Kong (another 14.5 hours). We're hoping that the 31 hour bus journey we took in Bolivia to Peru has hardened us to long haul flights. We shall see.
It's been a pleasure to write this blog, not only for us to look back on and make our heads spin with what we have done, but also to share with you at home. It's lovely hearing from you and what you are up to. The internet/gadgets have definitely changed the way people travel. I know that I am grateful for that little piece of home whilst I've been away.
Well, hasta luego South America and sawatdee kaa SE Asia.
Lots of love from the clouds
