And now it is all over!!!

Well, all good things must come to an end. For now anyway.

We head back to the UK in a few days to spend the summer and then in late August move out oto Oz to take in the delights of Melbourne for a year.

All good, I hope you have all enjoyed looking at our pictures.

All those people we have met along the way it has been great, thanks for all the laughs we`ve had.

Until the next trip this is goodbye!!!

More buggy action

A perfect first try

Me preparing for my first run

The dunes

Our dune buggy

The oasis in centre of village

This is where we stayed near Ica, there is a dune right outside the hostel

The Trip Back to Santiago

Flew back to Guayaquil, not much here except a nice board walk near the river.

The next day was a 26 hour bus to Lima and then on to Ica, stayed at Laguna Hucacachina, a lovely small oasis surrounded by huge dunes. This was very cool, we went out on the dunes in buggies one evening and did some sand boarding down some pretty huge dunes.

Unfortunately here I wiped out on the final dune a few times and loads of sand got into my camera and killed it, the second camera death on this continent!!

Nazca next, loved flying out over the lines, although Lauren felt quite sick from going up in a tiny four seater plane.

Crossed back into Chile and stayed a few days in Arica, the weather was bad so no beach action, did manage to find a cheap flight back to Santiago though so that saved another huge bus trip.

Three days back in the capital, I`d like to say we are partying like never before but unfortunately I am really sick!! Not had anything major the whole trip but now I seem to have been wiped out for 5 days already.

Never mind it`s been great.

And another one!!! Very happy with that!!!

Visability was terrible but we came to see hammerheads and here they are

Also dived Gordon Rocks and here is the rock

This is Devils Crown, one of the dive sites

This is actually a Galapagos Shark. Unfortunatly we were on our way up when he swam over!!
