Adios South America

Nice day


Smoky day


Next week's workforce (left) and happy travellers (right)

The final week of our trip has been in Buenos Aires, spent sight-seeing and beginning the re-engagement process with the developed world. It's a bustling place with wide avenues, fashionable shops and lively locals. Unfortunately the views on most days were degraded by the smoke haze across the city caused by farmers burning wide areas of nearby countryside as part of their dispute with the government. But once the air (and our throats) cleared we had a good shop and rounded our time off with an OUP reunion with Blanca and Jon, who are themselves travelling around the continent in 2008. So sadly it is now 'Home Time' and we return to the UK with strong legs, great pictures and a multitude of memorable experiences. It has undoubtably been an awesome journey of great cultural and scenic variety, although maybe next time we'll go somewhere a little less hilly than the The Andes...

We look forward to seeing everyone soon.
