We'll met again...

I'm back in Buenos Aires again. It's amazing, one day here and I have a sore throat, blocked nose and I'm sneezing - I think I'm allergic to the city. Tomorrow I go up to Iguazu Falls for a few days then on the 18th I fly to Australia. I've sent off my complaint about the Galapagos trip and request for refund so we'll just have to wait and see. I've started uploading photos of the Galapagos but it's going to take some time so check back regularly!

I had a surprise reunion in Lima - a woman I'd met in Puno who was going off to Bolivia suddenly appeared behind me in the hostel. I didn't recognise her face (she had her hair tied up and was wearing a hat) but I did recognise her voice - weird eh?

And isn't airport security ridiculous? You can't take a bottle of water through security although you can buy one at double the cost on the other side (I swear this is only being enforced to boost airport profits). Also, I had a small bottle of sunblock in my handbag which was confiscated at Lima (they also wanted to confiscate my small tin of vaseline and antibacterial handgel - but gave me a ziploc bag to put them in instead - the ziploc bag went straight back into my handbag, thank you very much). However they totally overlooked the huge bottle of sunblock in my daypack! How daft is that, and I had travelled all over South America with both bottles in place.

Until next time...

Do you really think you'll have a refound from the travel company???
but at least is wise to try....
Hey, I'll be back in lovely(!!) China next 24 march, can't say now when I'll be in EU again but maybe around the 10 May : should you decide to cross the sea ( hopefully in an airplane...) let me know!
