Hello everyone

How slack are we? We have finally come to write the last entry for our around the world trip and it's only 3 months after returning home. So, sat in freezing Leeds we'll do our best to remember the last few weeks of the trip of our lives...

After leaving Chris and Robbie and sunny Buenos Aires, we jumped on a plane to Puerto Iguazu. Unfortunately, we arrived to torrential rain, which had been going on for the last 5 days. Predictably we hadn't sorted out any accomodation, so wandered around for hours, getting pissed wet through, trying to find somewhere to stay.

There were different troupes from the surrounding villages, each performing their local dance, in traditional costume (some guys had scary balaclavas on). That evening we had a final farewell meal with the guys, and the next day we sa...

Hello Everyone

We had an overnight flight to Santiago from Auckland, and arrived before we set off (having crossed international date line), which left us feeling a little jetlagged and odd. Checked ourselves into our accommodation - a cool apartment in the arty Barrio Brasil district, only 5 minutes walk from central Santiago - it was ace. Spent a couple of days exploring Santiago and its cool neighbourhoods and we loved it. The weather was beautiful, although it was very smoggy, and Santiago was very Spanish and a bit scruffy. There were no public toilets anywhere, however, which proved p...
