Whilst most of our contemporaries were settling down with families or proceeding progressively up their career ladder we decided to take a chance, and a break from the 9-5, and travel round a continent we both had always wanted to visit, South America. Our travel intense trip takes us from altitude-tastic Quito in Ecuador via the Amazon rain-forest, Machu Picchu and Buenos Aires, to the thrills and frills of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil over a hectic 3 months.

Before this D is off to South Africa for a month to catch up with his family and I is off for a couple of weeks to Mexico to visit the lovely De Luna clan in Tlaxcala, Mexico. After South America we are both heading to Cape Town for some relaxation and rejuvenation and finally to HK for the Hong Kong Sevens and visit the fabulous G-Smiths.

Our blog is to keep our friends and family up-to-date and to keep a diary of an amazing trip we can look back on in years to come (if we haven't fallen oot by then!)

Hope you enjoy!
