Santiago We landed in Santiago on the 22nd April after a surprisingly good flight with LAN. Mention must go to the Singapore Armstrong's for taking us in for my collarbone to heal, otherwise the continent of South America may not have even been reached on the trip! Landing in Santiago and getting off the plane we immediately felt the cold. Our bodies for the past 5 months travel through India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia (shorter than expected),...

After over a month of rest and recuperation in Singapore, we moved onto our next destinations; Cairns, Australia. As Robbie still required physiotherapy on his shoulder, we decided to rent a flat in Cairns for three weeks. We found a basement flat underneath a nice Australians family's home which was perfect for us. The three weeks basically consisted of Robbie going to physio every other day, obviously this was relatively boring for Sarah so she decided to d...

We visited the S21 genocide museum which was quite harrowing and ...

The next day it was a 3 hour bus journey to Pai. (After just one day of travelling in Thailand we realised how easy things were compared with Nepal and India especially!) That afternoon, we headed to a nearby waterfall where we all went swimming in the pools. It was extremely cold, almo...
