Hello all you beautiful people. So, after five days on our own in Buenos Aires and a following 26 with a group of strangers, we made it across this vast, crazy, beautiful continent in one piece. With so many stories it's hard to know where to begin. So we thought we'd start with the visuals. All 12(!) albums of them. In the early hours of tomorrow (some 40mins away as we type this), we start our journey to Los Angeles where a new chapter awaits. Love and miss ...

I don't know how my parents did it. Some 30 years ago, two fresh-faced graduates in their early 20s left the comforts of Sheffield to move to a remote corner of Swaziland. Even now, in 2012, the village of Tjaneni that they made their home, felt incredibly rural. It's amazing to imagine the two of them living there for 3 or 4 years (amongst the cows and goats) bringing up a new-born baby. Auntie Lisa & Uncle Nick as well. Hats off to you.

Enjoy! Love, write soon, Ben & Han xx

She reminisces freely about her time working on a cow farm in New Zealand, practising Spanish in Bolivia and bartering for unwanted crystals in Bali. And she relaxes freely on the beach and hostels in...

Third Stop - Oudtshoorn (pronounced Oats-horn, or Oats-warren in Afrikaans with plenty of rolled Rs) Hometown of another of Hannah's old colleagues, Princess Stasie (to her family), Annastasia. Also hometown of ostriches, ostrich eggs and the Cango Caves. This time the temperature peaked at a ridiculous 40 degrees C! Even the wind was stiflingly hot and we were thankful for the pool at our hostel; less so for the barking dogs 'guarding' the property and barking...
