Our itinerary was structured in order<br />
to spend a couple of nights at the key<br />
attractions and we frequently enjoyed<br />
guided tours which helped us to understand<br />
the area and its history. This provided a<br />
welcome relief from the driving.<br />
Torres Del Paine , Perito Moreno and Lago<br />
Grey Glacier in Chile , Nazca Lines, Machu<br />
Picchu and the Uros People living on the<br />
reed islands on Lake Titicaca in Peru were<br />
the highlights of our time in South America.<br />

Costa Rica was our favourite place<br />
in Central America – very gracious<br />
people, good food and accommodation,<br />
environmentally friendly – what’s not to like?<br />
Leaving South and Central America and<br />
entering first world North America was an<br />
emotional moment for some of us (Shez and<br />
Sue Slater to name but two!)<br />
As far as Shez was concerned the USA was<br />
meant to be a two week transit journey to<br />
Canada. However travelling through Arizona<br />
via the amazing Grand Canyon and into<br />
Utah and stumbling across Monument Valley<br />
in the Navajo Indian Reservation changed<br />
that perception. This was real John Wayne<br />
country and pretty spectacular.<br />
