Sorry it’s been so long since my last blog, am sure everyone is waiting in anticipation for the next exciting instalment! We have been in South America for about 5 weeks now and having incredible time! Sen and I were really sad to leave New Zealand and team consumption, especially the Great Danes (missing you both loads!!!), not so bothered about Simon and old WHJ (for those of you who don’t know WHJ stands for Wandering hands Jackson - I feel Phil’s new nickname needs no more explanation than that!) since they were following us to Chile a few days later. Really liked Santiago we hadn’t heard great things about it and so were surprised by how much we loved it, may have had something to do with all the amazing food which after all the pies in NZ was a nice change.

Sorry it’s been so long since my last blog, am sure everyone is waiting in anticipation for the next exciting instalment! We have been in South America for about 5 weeks now and having incredible time!

We stayed there about 5 days and then headed across the border to Mendoza in Argentina. The journey over was amazing, huge winding road up through the Andes with the border checkpoint right at the top. The views were amazing, unfortunately poor old Maxers missed most of it as she spent the entire journey in the bogs being slightly travel sick! And was then comforted by all the Chilean grannies on the bus who kept hugging and doing rake on her! In Mendoza we did a wine tour and I did a spot of shopping in C & A where I picked up a fetching pair of lesbian looking hiker boots for 3 pounds, Max has been slagging me ever since but needs must and its not advisable to come to the Andes in winter with just flip flops!!! Phil and Simon were very excited to get to Argentina as that’s where their mammoth steak eating began, you can get a massive steak for about 2 pounds here and its all they have eaten for about 3 weeks! After Mendoza we commenced our 22 hour bus journey to Bariloche but totally worth it as definitely one of my favourite places so far. Met up with Nat and Ally and had few brilliant drunken nights out with them, Phil and I thinking of heading back ...
