The beginning

I've been dreaming of going to South America forever. The blog is just a collection of photos and notes to self woven together so that I remember it all!


It begins on 5th January 2010 - a very looong day as we fly east, and south over the Pole. The night is short, the horizon always streaked with a thin orange line of "sunset"; the dawn is spectacular, and an hour into daylight I get my first glimpse of the magnificent, wide, wild and snow capped Andes. So mesmerized I forget to dig out my camera. So exciting - imagine if I'd chickened out of this trip!!


We land in pouring rain in Buenos Aires an hour before we leave.
