Settled now in the wonderful country of Peru. Have learnt that No Gracius Manyarna (no thank you, tomorrow) gets you by in this place. Travelled from Lima to the dessert where we went sandboarding, although I bruised the whole of my arms doing this it was great fun and went buggy riding across the dunes. We then had a Pisco Sour party in the middle of the dessert and ended up sleeping under the stars. Group seem like fun there are 3 Irish girls, 1 Aussie and 3 pe...

After a very uncomfortable flight I arrived last night in Lima. I have learnt to get by with Aqua sin gas por favour (water without gas please). Banos (toilets) and lots of pointing, games of charades and smiling for anything else. Everyone is really helpful though and friendly.

It was a beautiful sunny day and have loads of pictures of the bird park and falls to upload, however it only shows a snip of the actual feeling you get when you are there, just amazing. Took a speed ...

Oi! (means hey in Portuguese) Took coach from Rio to Paraty, a beautiful little pirate town with cobblestones which the tide washes over each day. Loved it here, we swam with turtles when we went on our boat trip and danced both nights away to live music in the square. Sat up with the group until around 4am drinking and chatting to another English guy and a French guy. Didnt want to leave, but had to head off to Sao Paulo. We were all a little shocked when we g...
