Stop.... Fiji TimeHello all Well after yesterday in which we finally arrived in Chile after about 23 hours awake which incidentally made it before we left New Zealand but after we left Fiji on the same day. If you think i have temporarily lost it, that is a correct statement allowing for time difference and international date line, however when Kirst asked me on arrival how long we have been travelling for my brain tried to think and then pretty much crashed... ...

In short, it sells pretty much everything you can imagine: from food (live and dead) to designe...

Si Phan Don and on and on. Though I know it is all very relative, traveling can on some days be quite stressful. Constantly on the move, sometimes it feels like everyone is trying to rip you off and buses are i'm convinced inherently evil, (show me one happy bus driver and I'll show you 50 psychotic maniacs).
