Trip: Year away from home

There are [54] stories from my trip: Year away from home


Walking (and walking) through the Lake District

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 14 May 2008 | Views [833]

We´ve just spent the last week in Bariloche in the middle of the Argetinian Lake District. The place is absolutely stunning but it seems to have made us a little too enthusiastic on the activity front! So far we have decided to walk about 4 miles and ... Read more >


Nearly a statistic

ARGENTINA | Friday, 9 May 2008 | Views [1230] | Comments [1]

Since everything has been going so well it was about time something dodgy happened... We were wondering around the Palermo Parks in Buenos Aires, a tourist attraction so we weren´t taking any risks (just to reassure you Mum), looking for the Japenese ... Read more >


Football and Tango in Buenos Aires

ARGENTINA | Friday, 2 May 2008 | Views [785]

We've been hopping through Argentina and Uruguay since I last updated this so there's a lot to cover... so here goes. Iguacu Falls, Argentina side - absolutely stunning and definitely a must see place. The speedboat ride is great, where your swimming ... Read more >

Getting closer to Argentina

BRAZIL | Thursday, 24 Apr 2008 | Views [761]

We've travelled a lot of distance in the last few days - a 7 hour bus trip to Curitiba and 10 hours overnight to Foz de Iguacu. National Express could learn a lot; the seats are wider, with more leg room and more recline than a plane - it certainly hasn't ... Read more >

Pleasant days in Paraty

BRAZIL | Monday, 21 Apr 2008 | Views [671] | Comments [1]

We headed down the coast from Rio through some stunning vistas to Paraty. A tiny, old colonial town with a historic centre - it is beautiful with cobble streets, whitewashed buildings and a quaint little harbour all over looked by dark mountains ... Read more >

Rio

BRAZIL | Wednesday, 16 Apr 2008 | Views [620]

We leave our last taste of luxury tomorrow and head out on our first trip - can't wait now. We've loved rio and have had some glorious sunshine to go swimming in the sea, strolling down Ipanema beach and enjoy the views from and of Cocovada. Today though ... Read more >

Going at last

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 12 Apr 2008 | Views [336] | Comments [1]

We're here at the airport now. It's finally happening and we're very excited... Dave's telling me to hurry up as we need to go to the pub and celebrate with a final British pint. Wish us luck and we'll start updating this properly now. Sarah x


Getting ready to go

UNITED KINGDOM | Wednesday, 19 Mar 2008 | Views [407] | Comments [1]

Well, we're nearly ready for the off now. Finish work this week and just three short weeks then we're airborne on our way to Rio. We're getting very excited but every now and again I get that cold feeling that there's something vital that I've forgotten.... Read more >
