Tomorrow morning I'm flying from Lima, Peru to Miami, USA.
South America has been a great place to visit, though much more tiring than the rest of the trip so far.
Here's a few thoughts, good, bad and otherwise!
-I'm pleased to have learned enough Spanish to chat to people and get around, good one for the phrasebook and Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal. It will be nice to speak English all the time again though!
- It will be amazing to drink fresh milk. It just doesn't exist here.
- The altiplano scenery is amazing.
- My favourite South American food item is fried donut type things called Piccarones. Awesome.
- It was fun working on the farm in Chile, living in a clay cabaña and eating really fresh food grown on the farm.
- In general the people have been friendly and nice, but it is very tiring travelling in countries where to be safe you have to be so careful of where you go and where your belongings are, especially for girls.
- The ruins were very impressive to see, especially Machu Picchu.
- It would be a tough place to cycle tour because of the altitude and lack of campsites. Good job I left bike number 1 in New Zealand!
