We´ve spent the last week skiing in Bariloche, which is in Patagonia, Argentina. It was amazing!! We had lessons for the first few days...and by the end of the week we were actually skiing and not just sitting on our bums! It was loads of fun! Dan was a bit of a speed demon and had a few spectacular falls, but nothing broken! And Bariloche is a lovely little town, set on the side of a huge lake, which makes for fantastic views from the top of the slopes - check...

Well... we have arrived safe and sound in Argentina, which is no small accomplishment, when you´re travelling by bus in Bolivia let me tell you! From Sucre to Potosi, we travelled in a shared taxi, for 3 hours with a crazy taxi driver, swerving all over the road, driving way too fast, and spent the majority of the journey on the wrong side of the road for no apparent reason! But, we arrived in Potosi, the highest city in the world. The main ¨tourist¨activit...

First of all CONGRATULATIONS to Claire and Jamie on the birth of their little girl Connie!!! Can´t wait to meet our new neice in September!

The drive from the airport was an experience as well... our taxi driver didn´t really seem to be able to see and kept sticking his head out the window to see in front of him! We got used to the traffic in Oz and New Zealand... this was like being back in Asia again! We only had a da...

Hi everyone! Sorry it´s been so long since our last blog. I was hoping Dan might write one at some point, but he´s too lazy so thought I better just get on with it! We spent our first 2 weeks in South America in Chile and had a great time! After our long flight we spent a few days recovering in Santiago and becoming accustomed to the South American nightlife (not going out before midnight!). From Santiago we headed north to the Atacama Desert, stopping along t...
