South America

Well the South America trip is done & dusted now and etched in our memories, but we can relive all the great moments of this trip of a lifetime thanks to our blog.

Below are all the best bits of the trip and what we got up to. There were so many highlights, from the Inca Trail through to watching the Socceroos play over in Brazil.

Forgotten now are the 12 flights and 58 hours in the air, 20+ hours sitting on a bus and the nightmare road trip across the Peru countryside, and the ever long queues and waiting for...well...pretty much everything in Brazil.
