A long long (but fun) bus trip down route 40 brought us to El Calafate in South Argentina where we thought we would see “Climate Change” in action. Glaciar Perito Moreno melted before our very eyes but it is interesting to note that it has always done this and is actually one of the few glaciers that is still growing. We then made our way back up along the East Coast up to Rio Colorado where Rachel sought the secrets to sharing it’s water… my favourite moment was the ant at the end… and sorry – I couldn’t help but add my corny subtitles 🙂

Argh! Holiday season had hit. No where to stay, and no way to leave – we learned an important lesson for the remainder of our trip: book accommodation and transport at least one day/night ahead.

Don’t “Do a Bariloche” again!

Climbing volcanoes, swinging from trees, spotting condors, and drinking wine in this Swiss-Alps-like setting.

Honest Goodbyes, Bic Runga

Ok, I know this sounds like a very crazy title, which doesn’t at all suit the video you’re about to see… but when you read the book it will all make sense 😉

Call me, Blondie

Three girls on the road again, this time speeding down the Chilean coast. Regrettably we only spent one night in La Serena as it really was a beautiful little beach town. But voices from Pucon in the even more beautiful Lakes District in southern Chile were calling us loud and clear.

Before The World Was Made, Carla Bruni

Atacama desert at the top of Chile. We didn’t spend long here, as we were somewhat deserted out after Boliva. But was still a very funky sandy desert town. And we bumped into some friends we’d met in Lake Titicaca too. And. as you can see, our Brazilian friends we’d traveled with in Boliva were still with us 🙂

Mmmm mmmm – did you see that crepe? It was filled with Dulce de Leche… it’s seriously to die for.

Why I Stay, Black Heart Procession

On a salt-lakes tour with five Brazilian boys, a dodgy 4WD consistently breaks down which synchonistically provided an opportunity to literally dance on clouds (and take some incredible photos). On New Years Eve the girls reunite in a remote conglomerate of hostels and in one small room people from all over the world sing, dance and cheer. The New Year begins with the end of a drought and an explosion of fireworks.
