Stefan and I survived the train ride from Buenos Aires to Iguazu which took us 37 hours in total. I say train ride, the train didn't actually go all the way to Iguazu, it stopped at Apostoles, about 45 minutes from Posadas where were put on a transfer to Posadas, and then had to get on another bus to Iguazu, which seemed to stop at every l…
The year out continues, from Monton to Mont Blanc, next stop Mexico City.
Well the severe lack of snow over the winter season didn't stop us having an awesome time in Chamonix and after a tearful goodbye, I left my partner in crime and set off back to Manchester at the beginning of May.
Had a hectic but brilliant month catching up with friends and family. Three weddings and one house move (congratulations to James, Hannah, Pete, Mary, Teri-Ann, Mark, Sarah and Gary) later, I'm ready…

First stop is Mexico City from where I'll be making my way south and returning from Rio de Janeiro a few months later.

A great read, thanks! You must be loving nearing the finish on a high.
Thought you'd like this bit. I've heard a few good things about the place before.
Dad & Val
We are so envious of your latest fantastic experiences (especially the wineries !) but so looking forward to seeing you again next week.
Take care on the final leg of your journey Jane. See you at the airport next Tuesday.
Dad
You are quite right when you say how proud your Mum would be of your achievements. Dave Sarah and I will join you in raising our glasses to Suzie and our wonderful memories.

Hi Jane,
I am only just catching up on your blogs now I am a lady of leisure on maternity leave (no baby yet though). It sounds like you are having an amazing time - the Galapagos Islands in particular sounded incredible. I look forward to reading your next installment.
Lots of love,

Hi Jane
Sounds like you are having an amazing time. The Galapagos Islands sound fantastic and very relaxing. When we were on Oz i loved watching the sunset when we were out on our boat cruise it is so peaceful. Sounds like you made the right choice staying on the boat. Keep writing your blog its great to hear what you are up to.

Hi Jane, what a great blog and the way you write is really lovely. particularly like this bit:
"not a word of English was spoken and I was in a very happy place. It's fair to say that I had a moment, it was one of the highlights of the trip and I wanted to capture the magic for a rainy day but sadly my mind is the only instrument I had to record it."
I know that feeling so well from experiences I have had. They come from no-where, are very special and can be quite over-whelming.
Loved also the notes on Columbia as I had heard such good things about the place that I really felt I missed out not going. Although sounds lovely, maybe I can rule that one out for now. Can't believe you are moving onto your 9th country, incredible!!!
Take care xx
