    BA Markets

    2017年5月15日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Got to explore a market that stretched for almost 2kms today. Lots to see - managed to resist buying nearly everything I wanted haha.
    Also happened to come across some sort of festival. Not sure what it was about but got to see some (presumably) local dancing.
    We are both finding the eating habits very strange. They tend to eat late here both lunch and dinner (10 or 11pm) so we can't find much open when we want to eat. The food is lots and lots of bread, pizza and pasta. They give you a big bread basket at every meal. We still havnt found a supermarket so we are craving something to eat that is not white!    もっと詳しく

    Cementerio de la Recoleta, Buenos Aires

    2017年5月15日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Attended a free Spanish lesson this morning where we learnt the difference between Argentina's Spanish and everyone else's Spanish. But like a typical Gringo we forgot as soon we left.
    Spent the rest of the day on a tour of Recoleta Cementary which was amazing! One of the Mausoleums can hold up to 90 family members.
    Then out for dinner where (After yet another basket of bread) we had the best steak of our lives!!! We are seriously considering eating there for the rest of the week!    もっと詳しく

    La Boca, Buenos Aires

    2017年5月16日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Explored La Boca today, one of the oldest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. We only saw the tourist area as its too unsafe to go any further into the area. Most of the houses were built out of the old ships that arrived and most are still members of the original families who bulit them. They have no running water and the houses are so dangerous to live in that the firemen of the area are practically worshiped. Yet none of the families will take up offers of other housing elsewhere. We finished the day off with a tango show.もっと詳しく

    Montevideo, Uruguay

    2017年5月18日, ウルグアイ ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Early start on the ferry this morning to make it to Uruguay. Then on the bus to Montevideo. Nothing like New Zealand bus trips thank goodness, so no sickness. Nothing but straight roads and reclining seats (with foot rests), very nice.
    Had a wander around Montevideo and explored an old palace and a museum dedicated to the Andes plane crash in the 70s.    もっと詳しく

    Foz Do Iguaçu, Brazil

    2017年5月22日, ブラジル ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    This morning we we got our first taste of the Iguazu falls when we explored the Brazil side of the park. Pictures did not prepare us for the sheer size of it all. This place was incredible!
    We did have a rocky start here though..... Right before I got off the bus I read the brochure that said "don't feed the Coati as they could have rabies". Turns out they don't actually wait for you to feed them or yourself. Within 5 minutes of getting off the bus (right after I took a photo of it) I had one jump on me and break into my backpack to steal my sandwich! Thankfully Allan pulled it off before it scratched or bit me!
    Unfortunately after screaming and running around panicking in the crowd of people I looked like the typical foreigner who disobeyed the rules!    もっと詳しく

    Puerto Iguazu, Argentina

    2017年5月22日, パラグアイ ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    This afternoon we explored Itiapu Dam which is the biggest producer of electricity in the world. It also happens to be shared between Brazil and Paraguay so it was an interesting surprise to find ourselves in yet another country on the otherside. The Dam was quite impressive and we were quite lucky to see it with the overflow gates open as they we last open in November.
    Once we returned to our hostel in Argentina we visited the "3 Frontiers" where the 3 countries meet, where we were treated to a light and water show.    もっと詳しく

    Iguazu Falls, Argentina

    2017年5月23日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Today we were to visit one of the places which inspired our trip to South America, we were not disappointed. Word and photos do not do this place justice. We thought viewing the falls from the Brazil side was amazing but today we got to explore the national park of Iguazu and take the trails which lead you to some amazing and breathtaking views. We were also able to take a boat ride which takes you into one of the waterfalls. This was a slightly terrifying experience as you can't see a thing and feel like you almost drown in a boat!
    This really is a must see place!    もっと詳しく

    Ilha Grande, Brazil

    2017年5月24日, ブラジル ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    Today after an evening of flight dramas we headed off to our island get away. After quickly trying to download the Portuguese language file on our translate app before we left we were fairly chuffed to find most people spoke a little English.
    After an afternoon spent lazing on the beach we explore a few of the beach restaurants where ingot my first taste of the Brazilian cocktail Caprihina.    もっと詳しく

    Rio de Janeiro

    2017年5月27日, ブラジル ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    After saying goodbye to Ilha grande, and wishing it was closer so we could come back... we boarded the boat back to the main land to head to Rio. It was an incredibly hot day so we shot straight down to Copacobana beach. Unfortunately we were instantly harassed by people trying us sell us stuff. They were relentless, a couple of people even squirted mustard on my sandals to then try and get me to pay to clean it off! Thankfully we cottoned on to their trick early enough and used the shower on the beach to clean them instead. It was crazy! Thankfully we were able to retreat to the roof of our hotel for some peace.もっと詳しく

    Sugar loaf, Rio de Janeiro

    2017年5月30日, ブラジル ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Had a full on day today. Started off with a walking tour around the old part of Rio. After finishing the tour at the beautiful tiled Escadaria Selarón steps we headed up Sugar loaf mountain. This gave amazing views of the city as well as an incredibly high gondola ride. Allan then got to have some fun once we returned to ground level with a mime dressed as Charlie Chaplin.もっと詳しく

    Rocinha favela, Rio de Janeiro

    2017年5月31日, ブラジル ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Today we hopped into an open top jeep to head to the biggest favela in Rio for a walking tour. This place has a bigger population that Dunedin (about 150,000) and would barely cover a quarter of the city in size. The locals here were super welcoming but we were very pleased to have a guide as it would be so easy to get lost in the maze of streets and alley ways here. We then spent our last afternoon in Rio relaxing in beach chairs on the much quieter Ipanema Beach.もっと詳しく

    Puerto Maldonado

    2017年6月4日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Today we took off for the Amazon to stay a few nights in a jungle lodge. We had a lovely 2.5hour boat ride to get there, and due to our flight delays we got to watch the beautiful sunset on the way.
    Unfortunately due to our late arrival it meant we got straight into our night jungle walk... this was a terrifying experience to put it lightly. Not only did we see poisionus ants, scorpions, hundreds of spiders including the most poisionus spider in the world but we got to see all 3 types of tarantulas that live in this jungle (including the one they name 'Amanda' that lives in the tree outside the dinning hall)! And to top it all off to "give us a different perspective of the jungle" they made us stand in the middle of it for several minutes with no torches on! This was less than 2 metres from a nest of tarantulas they showed us.....
    It was only after we got back to the lodge that I could appreciate how cool it had been.    もっと詳しく

    The Amazon

    2017年6月5日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Today we headed out to the jungle early. We were headed to a lake to hopefully see a family of giant otters - an endangered species. We were given gumbooots for the walk as the tracks are often very muddy and hard to walk through. Once at the lake we took a canoe around to see the otters and then explored around the edge of the lake to see more wildlife. After the canoe ride we headed back to the lodge stopping to climb a 40m tower to get a view over the tree tops.
    Exhausted after 5 hours stomping through muddy tracks we got to relax in hammocks at the lodge and 'enjoy' the 35° humid heat.
    Later on they loaded us back into the boat in the dark for some Cayman (amazon crocodile) hunting.    もっと詳しく

    Sacred Valley, Cusco

    2017年6月7日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    After checking out the look out above Cusco we started our drive into the sacred valley, stopping at a small community for lunch.
    Here they literally danced us down their cobblestone streets to their community centre where we were then dressed up in their local costume and we got to try guinea pig!
    After this we were back on the bus to another beautiful town called Ollantaytambo hoping for a good night sleep in preparation for our hike tomorrow!    もっと詳しく

    Quarry trail, Day 1

    2017年6月8日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Today we headed off and up! Up up & up! Starting at 2920m we made it to our campsite by lunch time, just in time for our first 2 course hiking lunch, prepared by our chef and sous chef!
    After lunch there was time for a siesta before exploring our first Inka site close to camp. As the temperature dropped we all started teaching each other dances and songs from our own countries (including a poor attempt at a haka from us) as a way to keep ourselves warm before our 3 course dinner! Then it was straight to bed to rest for the hardest day tomorrow!もっと詳しく

    Quarry trail, Day 2

    2017年6月9日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Well today's 11hours of walking was hard, not going to lie. We reached the highest point in our trek today at 4424m shortly after lunch. It's not the hill that kills you (although it was nearly all uphill for the first 5 hours), but the altitude. Thankfully for our lunch break our team of horsemen set up their kitchen etc so we could enjoy another 2 course meal, but most importantly a rest and a cup of their coca tea, which definetly helps with the headache.
    Unfortunately after we had our celebration of reaching the top we were soon aware why the first downhill section is labeled as one of the hardest sections. Loose rock and an almost vertical slope. Probably only about 1km in length which took us about an hour or more.
    We were rewarded tho by another Inca site further down and reached camp before sunset - the group goal for the day.
    Camped underneath some beautiful snow capped mountains it wasn't long before we stacked on the layers for what was likely going to be a chilly night. Also helped along by a Pisco tea brew to 'help us sleep'.    もっと詳しく
