End Of Part One

Well, we've left South America and I suppose that's the end of part one of our journey. We've spent more or less, six months travelling around Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina and we've thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now we're on to part two - the wedding of my sister in Australia. Should be fun...

To end this part, here's a synopsis of our thoughts of the parts of South America we visited:

Favourite country: Bolivia
Simply because the life there is so different and there's very little western influence. It's not changed in years and the majority of people there are the indigenous people. The black market is strong so there's a certain way of doing things and nothing quite works. It has spectular scenery, beautiful jungle, strange, out the way villages and very few proper roads. The people are lovely too.

Favourite city: It has to be Buenos Aires
Cosmopolitian, beautiful architechure, tango, tango, tango

Favourite place: Isla del Sol, Lake Titicaca in Bolivia
Simply amazing and idyllic. Another world.

Favourite restaurante: The Alvear Hotel, Buenos Aires
Amazing value for their lunch menu. It is rated the best restaurant in BsAs by the people of BsAs. I'd have to agree.

Favourite experience: The Seeds of Hope children in Peru
We both gained so much out of working with the children at Seeds of Hope. They won't be forgotten and the charity will be in our lives for a long time.

Biggest disappointment: Chile
Expensive, a little lacking in culture (in comparison to the other countries we visited) and the people weren't the friendliest.

We've had a fabulous time in South America and will certainly be going back! (But not for a while).
