Hey all Am now in Santiago Chile and looking forward to flying to New Zealand tomo morning. Am off to the south island first for around 6 weeks followed by 2/3 weeks in the north island. Have only spent 2 days in Santiago, and so far the highlight has been bus journey crossing the Andes from Mendoza Argentina to Santiago Chile.

So I survived the death train from Santa Cruz Bolivi...

Hi peeps Hope you are all fine and dandy and taking extra special care of yourselves - can't believe Bolivia feels safer than England and London at the moment. Have had an absolutely best time in Bolivia and loved every minute of it. Its definitely my favourite country on my trip so far, yes even pushing lovely Guatemala into second place. Here's an update of my month in Bolivia... First off, Lake Titicaca - the world's highest navigable lak...
