TRAVELLING FROM CHILE TO NEW ZEALAND (27/07/09)
Click on the map above to see a zoomable version of our complete Latin American journey.
So our time in South America is over. We have the relief of going back to a country where we can understand and fluently speak the language but also the dismay of having to pay first world prices once again. Our time in Latin America had it's ups and downs but luckily for us the ups far outweighed the downs. Far from being the dangerous and intimidating countries that they are often portayed to be we have found the people, in general, friendly and inviting and that mostly the danger people have found themselves in has been of their own making. By exercising caution and common sense we avoided even the slightest hint of trouble in these supposedly perilous places.
Anyway we will both certainly be back to this magnificent continent in the future as there is still so much we have not seen or done.
There is nothing else to write for the 27th of July 2009 because we didn't have a 27th of July 2009. Due to the crossing of the International Date Line we missed out on an entire day, taking off from Santiago on the evening of the 26th and landing in Auckland 13 hours later on the morning of the 28th. Try getting your head around that when you're jet-lagged...
