Well, we have made it! We got out of South America with no problems at all. We did love it, but really were ready to leave and to get to an English speaking place! I never realised how tiring it was to have to speak Spanish all the time. We went to Fiji for a week, which was hot - much needed after the -20 temps that we had in S.America! So we are now both a bit more chilled out and warmed up and ready for our next stage on our trip. New Zealand. From what we have seen - admittedly not a lot, it seems like an ace place to be. So once we are on the road we will be seeing alot more amazing things! Hope all is well back in the UK! Take care and keep the posts coming! Love Ben and Zoe
