So we are back on the road, ready to complete our journey through South America… We practically retrace our steps and depart Perth on Friday 14th October, fly through to Brisbane - wait - fly on to LA - wait - fly on to Mexico - wait - fly on to Lima - wait - fly on to Cusco - ahhhh plane turns around and heads back to Lima! Hang on that wasn't meant to happen… After 3 days traveling and 33 hours in the air, not counting the waiting at various airports ar...

Where to start for the next edition of our journey... Let's start with we absolutely loved everything Colombia served up - this country has it all and isn't afraid to share it with its tourists! We spent 3 days in the port town of Cartagena, loosing our sea legs and recovering from our little sailing adventure. Cartagena was very beautiful, but pretty expensive - apparently if you can afford to park a yacht here, you can afford to pay crazy prices for everything...

I left off in Leon, Nicaragua where we headed out on the town for our last night, and then was up and at it bright and early as our little crew jumped in our shuttle and headed for Granada, Nicaragua. Well, so we thought... Our shuttle drive...

So we jump in a shuttle bus at 6am and wave "Adios" to Antigua and head for our next boarder crossing into El Salvador! We meet an awesome Australian couple on the bus that put our travel journey to shame, they have been travelling for 20 months and trekked the world! I am pleased to be reassured that getting "used" to hostels and horrible showers takes time but in the end you love it... We will see! This was another interesting boarder crossing, the teachers w...
