The Traveling A team We begin our journey through New Zealand's South Island for 2 weeks, then onto the North. From there our adventure takes us across the Pacific Ocean to South America for 11 amazing weeks!

Because of an Avalanche, we found we had to get up at 5am!!!! Take a 2 hour bus to Alausi and start the train from there...well more of a bus really on the tracks. So we hopped on and saw nothing but a blanket of white fog. Just our Luck! It seemed to clear up and we made our way through windy cliffs, switching back up the various tracks until we reached the Devils Nose, a mountain deep inside the journey.

It was a good trip, but not as scary as the Bus out of Alausi to Guayaquil..which was sudden drops from a mud road over one way bridges averting mudslides.
