Trip: Round the World 2009

There are [80] stories from my trip: Round the World 2009


Santa Cruz, Galapagos Islands

ECUADOR | Sunday, 15 Feb 2009 | Views [3904]

We left Buenos Aires behind us to make the long journey to the Galapagos Islands. After a long day of flying (via Santiago) to Guayaquil we pretty much just crashed at our hostel then straight back to the airport to catch our super early flight. Just ... Read more >

Buenos Aires, Argentina

ARGENTINA | Monday, 9 Feb 2009 | Views [2290]

Ah, 9 quiet(ish), relaxing days in Buenos Aires! After a very busy 3 week start to our trip, no longer than two days in any one place, Simon and I were both very ready to stop and have a rest. We've been here for four nights so far, and have had no trouble ... Read more >

Inca Trail, Peru

PERU | Tuesday, 3 Feb 2009 | Views [2251] | Comments [2]

It is a bit hard to write about the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu and keep it short, but I'll give it a go. We met our group in Cuzco at 6am on the 30th of January. A pretty cool group of people that we got to know fairly well throughout the trek. Irish, ... Read more >

Cuzco, Peru

PERU | Thursday, 29 Jan 2009 | Views [759]

We survived two buses, two flights, a taxi and over 24 hours in transit to arrive in Cuzco at 7am. Fortunately for us, our hotel checked us in at this ridiculous hour. We slept until midday and then hit the streets, after all, we only had two days in ... Read more >

El Quisco, Chile

CHILE | Tuesday, 27 Jan 2009 | Views [3989]

After we left Mendoza, we caught the bus back through the Andes (even scarier on the way down!) to Valparaiso, which is a beach town on the coast of Chile! It's a pretty cool place, a lot bigger than we thought it would be. Unfortunately, when we arrived ... Read more >

Mendoza, Argentina

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 25 Jan 2009 | Views [1413] | Comments [1]

Only two days (well technically one and a half) in Mendoza, but Simon and I would both have loved a few more. Mendoza is a very different city to Santiago. It's much quieter, cleaner, more trees and a whole lot more laid back! It is a very beautiful town.... Read more >

The Andes, Chile/Argentina

ARGENTINA | Saturday, 24 Jan 2009 | Views [1808]

You'd think that seven hours on a bus would be pretty painful...I don't think I've had a more interesting trip than this (plus the seats were very big and comfortable compared to aeroplane seats)! We spent the seven hours glued to the bus windows. Our ... Read more >

Santiago, Chile

CHILE | Friday, 23 Jan 2009 | Views [946]

Ok, so our trip to Santiago in Chile didn't start as smoothly as we'd hoped. Missing a flight from Auckland to Santiago was a pretty stressful experience (don't ask us about it yet, when we get back in twelve months we might be able to laugh about it!!), ... Read more >

Auckland, New Zealand

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 22 Jan 2009 | Views [778]

Our round the world trip started on the 17th of January, 2009. After a few teary goodbyes (mostly bec and her mum!) we headed off to Melbourne. We dropped off Simon's car at his sister's house, had a few more tears (this time Simon's mum!) and headed ... Read more >

On the 28th of December we headed up to Queensland for two weeks with Simon's family for a little pre-holiday holiday! Erin, Craig and John were working as volunteer turtle researchers at Mon Repos turtle rookery near Bundaberg. We stayed at Bargara for ... Read more >
