Kia Ora! After fiiiiinally landing in Aucklad at 3am, we were picked up from the airport by the lovely Corinne and Tim. They introduced us to their 4 lively dogs who were looking forward to an early morning walk, so we headed straight out to the west coast of New Zealand, to a beach called Muriwai. The west coast is more rugged than the east coast but still beautiful. We walked along the beach in the early morning sun and then went up into the forest (going sligh...

Out of all the places we visited in Bolivia, Potosi was definitely our favourite. It's the highest city in the world, but thankfully we didn't suffer too badly with altitude sickness! We arrived around lunchtime so the first thing we did was to head into town to sample Potosi's speciality; chicken and chips! We then went for a wander down to the market and around the town.

Hola from Bolivia! We had another easy peasy overland border crossing, this time into Bolivia.

Hi everyone, it's been a busy few days! We enjoyed a night out in Puerto Iguazu on our first night in Argentina! It doesn't really get busy at night here til 1am, so it was a late one!

The next morning we started our journey to San Ignacio Mini, a small town famous for its Jesuit Ruins...

Greetings from Argentina! We've spent the last few days in the Brazilian town of Foz do Iguacu, a big town close to the Brazil-Argentinian border. The journey was supposed to take 2 days, with one night bush camping on the way, but we made good time and decided to just carry on until we got there. It meant arriving at midnight after leaving at 7am but we were all sooooo happy to avoid bush camping, we didn't care what time we got there!! It was tough putting up o...
