3 weeks to go in London

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...

 

Wish you were here?
