We've been back in the UK now five weeks and thought it would be good to update our blog. You get so involved getting a house sorted, moving in commuting, working etc. it's so easy to forget all the cool things we did. So here we are our last blog; for now at least...
Buenos Aires was cool. Not as dodgy as most people reckon we even went for a run. Amazing buildings. Lots of rich, affluent areas like the dock area and then not so good areas. We ate heaps of empanadas and saw some more dinosaur museums. The B&B we stayed at was delightful. The lady baked cake every morning. We had a few problems with the onward flight to Heathrow and spent a taxi ride, heaps of phone calls and general agro trying to reconfirm the BA flight with LAN Chile (who we'd paid the $ to). But in the end it was all sorted and we spent the last couple of days chilling, shopping and eating in the 35 degree heat!
It's was a bit sad to leave; we're not just leaving south america but New Zealand too where we've been living for over 2 years. It was good though to put the back pack down and know it's going to be a while before we pick it up again though. We arrived at Heathrow. Chris's dad picked us up which was really nice of him. We spent the first day sorting out our old stuff and getting over jet lag and the second day all our stuff from NZ arrived. Blimey a lot of stuff but we tried to rationalise as best we could.
The following day we cuaght the train to central london (just mad and people everywhere), spent some time at work and then got up to Luton. Hired a car upto Bolton and spent about a week with my family. It was really good to see everyone including my brother...ahhh. During the week in Bolton we bought a car and then had one or two days before flying to Austria to see Chris's sister and her family. Spent the 5 days eating, skiing and playing with the kids. Then came back spent a week looking for a flat and then the end of that week started work! Cor. I think we need a holiday.....
