Lepki 1 and Lepki 2 head off into the wilds of the Amazon (well, near it anyway, they will probably spend more time in the cafes of Buenos Aires!)

About this blog

After a crazy wedding-filled couple of months, Andy and Lisa are heading off around South America!

Thanks to the generosity of their friends and family, they are going to do things that they have only dreamt of!

They know that it can be interminably boring to read the travel exploits of people so will not be at all offended if every chooses to scan briefly their travel log entries, or even ignore them altogether. But for those people who are looking for something to do at 4pm on Friday afternoon, maybe we can entertain you with stories of missed buses, language gaffs, spider bites, and anything else that might go wrong in our trip.

See you all in December!
