Merry Christmas Everyone, We hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas with family and friends. We have been flat out since our last update. After Washington, we headed to Boston for 5 days. Boston is a fantastic city and reminded us a lot of the cities back home. Upon arriving in Boston and then catching the train to our hotel, we left the platform and stepped straight into a foot of snow! Boston had just had a major snow storm which covered the city. It wa...

Hello Everyone, Thank you for your emails and messages! We are very excited about Australia winning the Ashes! We are now in the USA following a few days in Lima, Peru. We stayed in a seaside part of Lima known as Miraflores. It was nice to be back at sea level again and to see the ocean.

Hi Everybody. We hope that you are all well. Just arrived in Cusco after spending 10 days in Bolivia. Whilst there, we visited La Paz and the Uyuni salt flats. We really liked La Paz. We did a city walking tour which was very interesting. We heard some very interesting stories about political antics (various inner city gun battles), odd construction rituals which included human sacrifice, burying a live person under large constructions as a blessing, drug produc...
