Hi there from New Zealand!! Sorry it's taken so long to update the blog but as usual we've been rushed off our feet travelling around all over the North Island. We arrived in New Zealand on 17th October after an interesting stopover in Los Angeles. Our airline in Chile gave us the option to go through LA and put us up in a nice hotel so we jumped at the chance. It was pretty cool to be in such a different city but it wasn't exactly what we expected....we headed ...

This is our second blog of the day so in case you haven´t read the salt flats one, go and read that first! San Pedro de Atacama was the town we arrived into after our tour. It was a nice little village but we only spent a few hours there as we had a schedule to keep so took an overnight bus to La Serena, a lovely beach town on the coast of Chile. We found a nice hostel and chilled out for a few days, visited the beach and did some shopping. We were pretty tired...

The salt flats were created when the link between the Pacific Ocean and the sea in that area was blocked off by a volc...

Hello again! Unfortunately the blog is a little bit behind at the mo!! Since we last updated it we have travelled through a whole country! We left Peru on Sept 29th and crossed over the border to Bolivia to visit Lake Titicaca. We stayed in a lovely town called Copacobana and had some fab views of the lake from our hostel. Lake Titicaca is the highest ´navigable´lake in the world and the largest lake in South America (Wiki is great for the facts!). We spent...

Hi all! Well we made it through the Inca Trail safe and sound! It was tough enough but luckily we were well prepared for the altitude etc so not too many problems at all. Our muscles have just about recovered at this stage so we're back on the road again....we arrived in Bolivia this morning. The Inca Trail is the original route from the city of Cusco (the centre of the Inca Kingdom) to the ancient city of Machu Picchu and is approx. 42 Km. Machu Picchu is on...
