The final blog!
The trip has flown by and we've had an amazing time. This final week was brilliant and such a great way to end the 6 months.
We decided to qualify as Open Water divers in our final week, and the beautiful Perhentian Islands off the coast of Malaysia was the setting. We were incredibly lucky with location- our hostel and di…

To ensure you're all as jealous as possible we will be regularly uploading blog entries, photos and videos of our adventures, so if you would like to keep up-to-date with what we're …

Santiago de Chile
Ciudad capital de Chile. Desde donde puedes visitar tambien Argentina/ Mendoza y tener el privilegio de viajar por tierra cruzando la cordillera de Los Andes.Majestuosos nevados. que limitan ambos paises. Puedes viajar cercano a la antartica Torres del Paine donde encontraras y tocaras los Hielos flotantes.Puedes visitar Frutillar ciudad muy parecida a Suiza...la carretera austral con naturaleza intacta por anos. Visita Chile!

Valparaiso es uno de los puertos principales de Chile. Se ubica cercano a la Ciudad capital Santiago de Chile. Si visitas Santiago podras en el mismo dia estar en la montana nevada (sky) y luego en el Oceano Pacifico. Chile tiene todos los climas del mundo. Tiene una larga costa para visitar. El desierto mas seco del mundo donde puedes ver los centros astronomicos mas importantes. Pueden visitar sus islas tropicales y lagos con volcanes cercanos que forman un paisaje paradisiaco. Existen muchos apart hotels donde los precios son mas convenientes que en hoteles normales. Un centro especializado para orientarte en lo que desees hacer.Oficina nacional de turismo, que te dan los mapas y guias en folletos para hacerte mas facil tu llegada a los lugares. Los restauranes y grandes supermercados tienen comida de todos los paises. El idioma principal es el castellano, se habla tambien ingles. Muchos turistas visitan Chile y se enamoran de este pais. Es tranquilo para vivir,amigables y amorosas personas con los extranjeros. Visita Santiago de Chile. Ciudad que tiene mucho que decirte en sus montanas incertas en el down town, en su geografia, museos y gente.

Just read your latest blog - dont fancy the snakes! you're obviously having a wonderful time - we have been keeping up to date - keep up with the surfing lessons Hannah - Rhys will bring you down to Llangennith when you come home so you can show everyone. We had a lovely day on Saturday for Bethan and Claire's 'do'. The weather was kind and everything was great. Mum and Dad stayed on a few extra days and we managed a barbecue on the beach on their last evening - it was quite perfect with the sea right in and the sun shining - just like it ought to be all the time. Hope everything with you carries on well - thinking of you - lots of love Granny and Grampa.
