Jas and I are now in our last month in South America (gutted!). After Cusco, we travelled overnight to a tiny little town called Huacachina, which is built around a lagoon and surrounded by giant sand dunes. We stayed there a few days and on the afternoon of the second day, went on a sand buggy and boarding trip in to the dunes. It was INSANE! The buggy driver was mental and had us flying over the dunes, getting air and swerving all over the place. It was te...

After leaving La Paz, we headed for Copacabana, a little town on the edge of Lake Titicaca - the largest high altitude lake in the world, at 3800m. The view of La Paz as the bus headed out was stunning, crazy Bolivians building their Capitol in a steep valley. Copacabana is the prettiest little town. We found a great hostel with a roof terrace with amazing views of the lake. On our second day there, we decided to climb up the hill overlooking the town. Appare...

South America so far..... We flew from Panama City over night and arrived in Buenos Aires early in the morning.

We spent a few days here just wandering around, drinking malbec red wine and eating delicious steak. The first night we also went out to watch a tango show which was amazing and we were on a front row table. Buenos Aires is an ...

After finally leaving Granada (after 10 days of relaxing, swimming and hammock swinging!) we headed to isla de ometepe, a giant island made up of 2 volcanos in lake Nicaragua. It was a pretty impressive sight heading over on the ferry. We spent 2 days over here not doing much at all. The island used to be a good spot of kayaking and swimming on the lake beaches, but about 18 months ago there was a huge flood and the lake level was raised about 3 foot, and this...

So I left it too long between entries...and now I can't remember where I left off....! I think it was San Pedro de la Laguna at Lake Atilan in Guatemala- we had an awesome week there just being bums, wandering and visiting markets. When we left there we headed to Honduras, which took 2 very long days! First we caught a shuttle back to Antigua, then hopped on another bus headed for the border - which quickly ended up in a traffic jam! About 8 hours later, we e...
