New Zealand!

Hellooooo! We have arrived. Its Saturday morning in Aukland - We left Chile on Thursday night.

Well since we last spoke we have visited Lake Titicaka which was moderately impressive.

Following that we entered northern Chile and into La Serena where we went on a Pisco (a Chilean brandy) tour followed by a world class observatory. There we saw the moon blindingly bight through detailed telescopes, the Orion Nebula and Saturn complete with rings. The whole thing was incredible and very exciting.

Onwards to Santiago and we had a brilliant farewell to South America. There we went on a walking tour for free with a guide from our hostel. One of our highlights was a "Coffee Shop with Legs" - right in the heart of the finance district a coffee shop for office hours with some of the most stunning women in Santiago as your Barristas. Following this we went to a dingy underground bar where at 5 in the afternoon, everybody was hammered. We quickly found out why when we tried the local speciality which translated to "The Earthquake" Three of those and we were struggling to get to the airport. Got to chat to crazy locals before embarking towards our current location.

We will keep you updated as to our progress as usual - today we are going to find a campervan to hire for our 6 week road trip!

Loads of love
