CHILE | Tuesday, 14 Sep 2010 | Views [649]
From Ecuador, we ventured into the north of Chile. We visited the cosy coast town Arica, which is lovely and probably even lovelier in summer time when you can better utilize the gorgeous beach. We took relaxing strolls in the somewhat chilly city instead, ... Read more >

PERU | Wednesday, 4 Aug 2010 | Views [1355]
I first visited Peru five years ago, and have
longed to come back ever since. Back then I only visited the Titicaca Lake

After a few too many nights sleeping in a van, Louise and I felt we needed a vacation from the vacation so to speak (yes – travelling does take its toll…). Alas, from New Zealand we went on holiday to Fiji. True to form, we left booking accommodation ... Read more >

So, it has been a while since our last update (again). The main reason for this is that we have been
busy traveling right across the Australian continent. For the most part, we have been doing that in

Ok, this is what we’ve
been ... Read more >

Phnom Penh Phnom Penh has a bit of a sordid history… We spent a few depressing days looking at the killing fields (and seeing the movie from 1984, which is good!) and also visited the school turned torture prison, S-21. Before coming here we read ... Read more >
