Some may say the trip of a life time! To retire from work for 2 years and travel the globe. Sounds very tough - NOT! Let us take you through our journey beginning with the Trans Mongoligan Railway from St. Petersburg to Bejing, China, South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia), Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and South America, including Antarctica and the Galapagos! When will it end you may ask? Well that's when the money runs out, so lets wait and see.

Tarjia - the South of Bolivia

Tarija is wine country. Have tried a couple of bottles over dinner. One was really nice - Kohlberg! Sab. Cav. - beautiful! Don´t know whether they import it to Oz or elsewhere but definately worth trying if they do. This was a relaxing and lazy few days, as Ian tried to take it easy, after having been unwell. It should be interesting crossing the border into Argentina because Ian´s entry stamp into Bolivia is not stamped properly. When we crossed into Bolivia at the dodgy crossing in the Atacarma Desert in Chile they stamped it with 30 days. Ian then requested that we have 90. They didn´t have a 90 day stamp, so just used a pen; and put an official stamp next to mine and not his. This may be made an issue of. He could be fined US$2 per day that we are over, which is over 40 days! Everything was OK though. Lucky!
