Hola,mi espanol?es muy mal, but it is better than it was! Having managed to hold a conversation for more than just a name on several occasions. Just a quick blog, here in Montevideo, we are moving on pretty much every day, 2 days ago we were in Colonia, a beautiful town in Uruguay, very mediteranean in feel. Now the city of Montevideo, a fantastic place which feels quite affluent and has wonderful beach areas, with many nationalities living here, a city tour took...

Hello avid readers, Okay everyone this may be it as far as regular updates goes for a while, we're heading into unchartered territory tomorrow, so I'll leave you with this quote I found in a hostel in New Zealand. "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of travelling safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally ...

Hola, okay so I've been spelling Buenos Aires wrong all this time. Why didn't someone point that out? No problemo! I'm still having lots of fun. The first hostel we went to today was a real dump.

It's not too bad, hoping my little spanish is gonna become a lotta spanish in a very short time. We arrived safely in Santiago at 11.55am on the 18th April approx. 5 hours before we'd left Auckland at 5.30pm on the 18th April . It's bizarre, I now have 2 entries in my journal for 18th April. a 40 hr day, wow! Had a really beat up taxi with a hug...

Hola amigos,just getting in some practice, probably be one of the last times I write anything here in New Zealand. We are in Taupo, which is positioned at the north end of Taupo Lake which is F**KIN' massive, only the biggest lake in the Southern Hemisphere. We are going to have a few nights in Rotorua, see some geeza about a water spout tomorrow, and stay in possibly the best hostel in New Zealand. High praise indeed. We then head to Auckland, hopefully the ...
