Hello all, I hope that you are all well. Well here we are in La Paz updating our blog on the last weeks activity travelling through Bolivia. We waved goodbye to Argentina with fond memories and are pleased that we are returning to Buenos Aires in 6 weeks or so to explore further. The Argentineans were amazingly friendly and welcoming, not to mention the abundant steak and red wine meals for 6-7 pounds! Happy days! On entering Bolivia we waved goodbye to tarmac an...

Salta, Argentina. 27-28th Sept We stopped off to camp beside the river in Salta, where we both signed up for white water rafting and zip-lining. The rafting was great fun - our guide was not content to take us through the rapids facing forwards but insisted on making our raft do a 360 spin through the rapids, thus ensuring the maximum amount of river crashing over us. We dutifully carried out his instructions as we didn´t know the difference between the instruct...

Iguassu Falls 21-23rd Sept. Amazing - Kate you weren´t wrong! We visited the falls from both the Brazilian and Argentinean sides and both were stunning.

We both called our parents from the falls...

When we arrived in Bonito we were given our room keys and for the first time we did not have to share a room, you would not believe how such a simple thing could make you so happy, and probably...

The Pantanal We arrived at the Pantanal and were soon off on a boat to go Piranah fishing. As you can imagine we were all quite keen to stay on the boat with Piranahs, Caimen (Crocidiles), and Anacodas in the water. Following 2 days on the Truck it had become quite clear that the New Zealand men were all very good fishermen and regularly reel in huge fish back home- in fact it had become crucial that to demonstrate your manliness you must reel in several huge Pi...
