3 weeks to go in London

Starting this off 9 months into the trip probably seems a bit strange but I've decided that I would like to have some type of memory like this that is official rather than lots of bits and pieces and scribbled bits of paper all over the place when I do...

Month 1 of our 4 month trip through South America. We started our journey back at the beginning of November with a few days in Buenos Aires, and although we’re not normally that keen on big cities, we really enjoyed it. The city is very cosmopolitan...

Round the World Trip 2006/07

We arrived in La Paz on Thursday afternoon. It is absolute mayhem here! Buses, taxis, combis and people everywhere. Crossing the road is a challenge in itself. We went to an Asian restaurant for our farewell meal on Thursday night. Having not had a cur...

South America 05-06

Made it to the bus station in Santiago with about 10 minutes to spare- which usually puts me there before most of the Chileans. I had heard there may be snow on the pass, but the roads were clear, so we made it over with no problems. Well, it did tak...

Arriving in Peru

Before you pack your bags and head to Peru, there are a few interesting things you should know... 1. You can't flush toilet paper down the toilets in Peru, the sewage pipes are too narrow. The paper goes in a little bin beside the toilet. 2. Peruvia...
