About this blog

My quest to backpack South America goes awry when Australia reaches the Football World Cup. Plans are changed to include Germany. I then realise the Cricket World Cup is in the West Indies. Plans are changed to include Caribbean sidetrip. Bugger it - may as well go around the world!

Disclaimer: I never let the truth get in the way of a good story...
