Best BUS JOURNEYS

1. Buenos Aires - Iguazu: Champagne anyone? Oh yes please!

2. Cusco - Arequipa: Our first taste of real bus luxury, the things National Express could learn.

3. Ica - Lima: Steven Segal on repeat!
Trujillo - Tarapoto: 20 hrs on a shiteous bus, but driving through moonlight mountains and awaking to views of the jungle!

Worst BUS JOURNEYS

1. Copacabana - Cusco: started off great in a luxury bus, get to Puno and becomes a "local" bus full of people with ladies sat in the aisle, took 3 hrs longer than it should've and Ellie threw up at the end of it. Easily the worst!

2. Lima - Arequipa: Getting off the flight to Iquitos, asked the driver to take us to the bus terminal and the only bus was leaving that second so 18 hrs on a shitty bus, no toilet and this time Ellie threw up whilst actually on the bus.

3. Trujillo - Tarapoto: 20 hrs, no toilet. ´Nuff said.
Santiago - La Serena: First overnighter, left at midnight got in at 7am, not fun. Also, had to spend the next 9 hours wandering around La Serena til we could check in. Ugh.

Most Memorable...

1. Watcing the fires burn high above us in the canyon on the 2nd day of white water rafting near Cusco
Flying from Iquitos to Lima with the sunsetting and casting a golden light over the rivers that bent through the massive jungle, really giving an idea of the size of the place.

2. Getting a haircut in La Paz and watching the barber sterilising implements such as cut throat razor with a bunsen burner (lik wot u use in skool).
Fires burning with a orange glow in the canyon after rafting in Cusco.

3. Meeting a llama at Machu Picchu after completing the Inca Trail - pure Peru!
Flying a plane over the Nazca lines, never done it before but amazing! Seeing the lines was pretty impressive too.

It's crazy to think of all the amazing things we've done, and this is just one continent, two more to go and plenty more adventures to pursue and crazy stunts to pull!
