In sunny Santiago now. Gorgeous city. Very hot. The hostel is lovely and clean, overlooking the main square - 'plaza de Armas'. The hostel is very quiet though. People seem to just be killing time here before their next flight. Have been told that there isnt an awful lot to do in Santiago. We only have 1 day anyway. Very tired again!

Ok, so we have been rather slack with our journal entries! Sorry! There is just so much to see and do, as you can imagine. We have had nowhere near enough time! We will fill the previous destinations in when we have more time! We are actually leaving Buenos Aires today, to fly out to Santiago, Chile. Here we have mainly walked around. For miles, literally! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous. Our stay here has focused on Eva Peron, with us both being Evi...

It's where a lot of Brazilians come on holiday. There are loads and loads of long white sandy beaches. A lot of them are virtually deserted despite it being summer holidays for the Brazilians. I think most have now gone back to the cities for carnival. We have seen...

Rio de Janeiro, the marvellous city! Where to start?? Well, we are actually writing this whilst in Buenos Aires as we are very lazy with this blog business, so many things may be missing... The views of the city, whether at dizzy heights or on the ground are certainly everything they are made out to be. We only had time to go up Sugar Loaf mountain (and not to the Christ statue) in the 5 or so days that we were there. It was spectacular, if a little nauseating, ...
