We have finished this trip slightly early. Having seen all we want to see, apart from Columbia, but at over £1,000 per person for a flight out of Brazil we decide to get back to UK early and make the most of the opportunity to see people there.
This trip has been amazing and made us grateful for so much. We have seen things that have blown our minds and made us feel humbled by the immensity and beauty of mother nature. We have experienced things for the first time and revelled in the excitement of it. It has been a history lesson, a geography lesson and a life lesson. Reading the news, its easy to become cynical and feel there are so many bad people in the world. Travelling makes you realise that people generally are good, fun loving people who want the same things that we all do. We have met so many friendly people, never felt threatened, not been scammed, not been witness to any terrible crimes. For us, having been together for almost 24 years, its been a time when we get to know each other again without the usual stresses and strains getting in the way of everyday life. We feel lucky and privileged to be in a position to do this but please ... Anyone reading this .... if you get the opportunity, get the back packs on and go travel. There's a big amazing world out there.
