Steve and I have spent The last 10 weeks in Argentina and can’t believe we are leaving at the end of this week. Below are some of our favourite photographs from that time. Click on the photos to be taken to the relevant post the photo was originally in if you’d like more context. To […]
So far from the jaded colourless world that was ours in 2010 we now stack the notations of six months in Latin America scribbled so busily onto a laden notepad into bulging back pockets. To borrow from the one and only Queen Elizabeth, 2010 was our ‘Annus horribilis’, when the machinations of our modern world […]
A long drawn out and much needed exhale is what we find ourselves within, a temporary pause in the midst of the whirlwind that has been our last six months. In the rush of this adventure we have been assailed by sights, experiences and immersions so relentlessly that a slight pause becomes more than a […]

It’s time to recount what any traveller needs to know about South America. Forget the travel guides, TV shows and, ahem, the blogs because we have all […]
So far from mountains we find ourselves, alpine escapists no more as we delve into the heady sweaty hum of one of the worlds great big cities.

It’s a day at the zoo for us eager little kids, we’ve wrangled together another guy from the hostel to join us on a tour which is an easy way of making a cattle herded bus turn into a private car. The cheesy tour groups are now about the same cost for us as having […]
