We landed in Cape Town, South Africa yesterday (wow), but more on that later.
We decided a tribute to the great 2.5 months in South America was necessary to sum it all up. So here we have it, the top 10 and worst 10 moments of our trip so far (not in any particular order):
Best 10:
1. Second night camping in the W, Torres del Paine, NP. The amazing scenary, breathtaking sunset and great music from the Ipod (Ok so maybe the whole trek should be listed).
2. Car day in Villa Angostura, Argentina.
3. Of course, Macchu Picchu.
4. Bike ride in Valley de la Luna and/or town San Pedro de Atacama in general.
5. First/Second day of the Salkantay Trek on our way to Macchu Picchu.
6. Wandering the open air museum in Valparaso, Chile.
7. Market day in El Bolson, Argentina.
8. Salt Flats (Solar de Uyuni) tour in Bolivia.
9. Second morning on the Navimag Ferry (of couse, with a broken camera).
10. First half of the Bocca Juniors soccer game.
Worst 10:
1. The heartbreaking days stuck in the La Paz airport.
2. Typical Quechuan music (same 4 songs) blasting from the only speaker in the whole bus right above our heads for 8 hours on the bus from Puno (Peru) to Copacabana (Bolivia).
3. Lima.
4. Worst hostel ever in Buenos Aires (3 long nights).
5. Biting flys in Santa Teresa (3rd night of the Salkentay trek).
6. Oregano.
7. Raining spit and other things at the Bocca Juniors soccer game (2nd half).
8. Strange queso smell on all Peruvian and Bolivian buses.
9. Every morning at about 4:00 a.m. on bus street.
10. Every morning at about 4:00 a.m. in all small peruvian & bolivian towns (aka damn roosters).
