We arrived into Grenoble airport safely, which is always a relief when flying the budget European airlines, and in a timely manner. Dad (the Kelly dad that is) picked us up at the airport and taxied us to our temporary home for the next few weeks in the south of France. Now, just before you get a picture of some granduous chateau in the south of France, let me briefly describe the home that we were set up in. It was a 1970's masterpiece, lino abound. The carpets...

Arriving in England, as you can imagine, was a bit like arriving home for us, especially after the 'weird and wonderfulness' of South America.And, staying at the Dewings, good friends of the Kellys, in Kent was particularly luxurious and 'home-like'.Milly Dewing and her boyfriend, Tim, picked us up from the airport which was another little luxury compared to our usual arrival in places.And, to add to our delight, the first thing we did in England was to sit outsi...

We have had three unplanned days in La Paz now as we have been a little screwed up by over booked buses. Our next planned destination is Salar de Uyuni in the South of Bolivia. Unfortunately, it isn't the easiest part of Bolivia to get to, and days are precious this late into our 10 week trip, so we have been somewhat anxious to leave La Paz. We arrived in La Paz from Lake Titicaca on the 28th June after a 3 hour local bus ride, the entire length of the journey ...
