Now we’ve settled down again it’s time to strike up our blog pages once more. Over the next week I will tidy up / archive the old pages and start to make notes of our experiences here and through Europe as we travel once the car is fixed 🙂
ARRIVING IN PERU So we arrived in Lima all fine and dandy and headed out to the arrivals lounge to get fleeced by a taxi. We knew this was coming as all the tourist books had already indicated the taxi into Lima would cost some $45US and not take too long; none had the courage […]
TARDE AGAIN Sorry we have not updated, or caught up for a while now. We blame Jack and although we have ha a lot of fun we have spent a lot of our time either in the middle of nowhere or on a bus for the last week or so. But anyway we were up […]
Just a quick note to inform you we ARE alive. At the mo we are on our way to Mexico (currently chowing on some Guacamole and a bowl of soup each at Santiago airport – after going through various H1N1 detection processes!). Had a great time with Jack and sorry to see him back off […]
First and foremost Thanks to those that posted comments on our previous post… and just for information of 8 months I finally lapsed and over-indulged – it was a one off (that I will admit anyway 😉 ) and there will be no more mention of it (p.s. I did write this before Helen commenced […]
FROM DUSK TILL (NEARLY) DAWN So we left the Twilight Zone of the hostel and headed out to find somewhere to have some food. We stumbled across a bar and on seeing the pygmy and the prostitute in the corner knew we were in for an experience. As Simon demonstrated his Spanish (in retrospect we […]
GETTING TO PUNTA ARENAS The flight from Santiago went without a hitch, even the travel to the airport utilising both bus and metro – result (looking good so far). I thoroughly enjoyed the flight over (at the window looking at the snow capped and covered mountains with turquoise lakes) and it was a good flight […]
Back in our comfortable and friendly hostel we met up with Charlie again telling him our tales from the last couple of days. The plan for that evening was a few drinks at Charlies place followed by a meal out and then off to see his flat mate who played in a band. So we […]
We arrived in Santiago Airport tired but excited, our first task was to find our way to the hostel. We needed to grab a bus (which we found quite easily), which took us to the metro station and from there go to the Baquendano station. The trip in total took just over an hour. We […]
AND BACK TO AUCKLAND After a small detour (H – OK so normally this map reading lark is a sinch, we all make mistakes sometimes) we were on the right track and heading to Auckland with hilly views galore. The main difference with this road trip, to the ones over the last couple of weeks, […]
