So after a crazy few weeks and a mad rush to get to New Zealand in time for Christmas, I’ve taken some time off posting to enjoy some time with everyone. So I now have quite some catching up to do so here goes! Continue reading
Auckland and Waiheke Island.
After a long 13 hour flight from Argentina we arrived early Tuesday morning to the sun rising in Auckland!
We got through customs and baggage very quickly and were soon whizzing our way across town to meet my parents and younger sister Aimee, who had arrived from UK the day before! After saying goodbye in London almost 2 months ago we were all very Continue reading
Goodbye Argentina!
A very quick post as we are about to board our flight to New Zealand bringing an end to our South America leg of the trip!
Yesterday I think Buenos Aires had the hottest day in November, one of those ones just before a big thunder storm! Continue reading
A couple of days in Buenos Aires
Well what an alive and sexy city we find ourselves in! I’m not surprised it’s been nicknamed the small Paris of South America! It’s sort of a mixture of busy Parisian style avenues and streets combined with a passionate Latin American grit! Continue reading
Adeus Brazil!
Just sitting at the airport in Rio waiting for our next flight to Buenos Aires, so I thought i’d do a little post to round up our time in Brazil.
Monday we enjoyed our last day in Paraty, we decided to take a quick tour (although in Portuguese!)
We were picked up in a jeep and took a little trip to the native Indian reserve, to see Continue reading
Lazy days and boat trips!
After just 5 days in Paraty I think we have mastered the art of chilling, also know as the art of doing nothing without being bored! We have become so lazy, hanging out in our relaxing jungle home, even forgetting about lunch until 2-3pm! It really is very odd, but also very nice! A welcome break in this crazy 6 months.

Swimming in the jungle waterfalls! Paraty
We have been in Paraty a few days now and life sure has slowed right down! Yesterday we didn’t even leave our gorgeous home! Very lazy indeed!!!
We’ve been very content relaxing in the hammock watching the beautiful array of birds coming to the birdfeeder, eating the bananas and other fruit we leave out. Continue reading
Paraty
Okay don’t hate me, but I’m writing this journal entry from the relaxing hammock hanging in the front porch of our new home!
So after a full week in Rio we packed up our bags, picked up our little hire car (bit of a squeeze fitting us all in, but we did it, we will not be beaten!!!👊) and drove our way down the warm and bumpy coastal road to Paraty. Continue reading
Lazy days in Rio
After seeing the major sights of Rio earlier this week, we were free to take the last few days a little slower and just enjoy living a lazy life here in the city.
We’ve caught up on some travel schooling, good old maths and English but have also been looking at some new topics, Brazil and the rainforest. Continue reading
A gorgeous day in Rio
After watching the Rio olympics and paraolympics last summer, I think we’ve all been looking forward to our time visiting the city of Rio de Janeiro. However I wondered; would it be as scary as the media makes out…in a word, No! It’s just the most Continue reading
