Here I am, sitting in Sao Paulo, in the midst of a storm, the night before we fly home.
Sao Paulo has a bit of a bad reputation amongst travellers, but I really don´t see why, it´s just a big city, so there´s a lot to do. And all of the grafitti is amazing! We arrived in Sao Paulo when we first arrived in Brazil, and went to the MASP …
ATTENTION!
Wow, it's 2 years on, and this is so nostalgic. I'm keeping a new travel blog now, so please feel free to check it out at http://backpacksandbooks.blogspot.com/
Hi everyone :)Well, so it begins, the wondrous tales of my seven month trip across much of Asia and Latin America with Amy. (You're probably, and quite rightly, thinking "Oh dear lord".) Hope friends and family members keep an eye on this when I'm away, and I hope you're envious. :P

And so, with our last week fast appoaching, we headed onwards and upwards to Rio, thinking it would be the perfect place for a final blowout on the beach.
But oops, oh yeah, itś Brazilian wi…
Yes! Finally made it to Iguazu Falls, after our failure in Argentina. Went to the Argentine side first, which is better for trails and the park around, and the views were out of this world. Th…
Buenos Aires is where we spent most of our time in Argentina, apart from our random forray to Rosario and Salta in the middle. It´s a very addictive place. And no place more addictive than ou…
Me and Amy are now officially the world's worst travellers. Fact. To prove this, I am currently in Salta; but we were meant to go to Iguazu!

and also, claire, amy has just reminded me that backpackers hostel near the cathedral looked really good, so maybe try to stay there? we wish we had! they organised tours too
Leah
Yeah, no problem Claire, our hostel set it up for us, i cant remember its name but it was on an alley in old quarter called yen tai, and had a chiwawua! the tour itself was with singh tours, and pretty much every hostel in hanoi will set u up with "singh tours", but theyr all rly diff companies pretending to be the one good one, so... basically, look around lots of hostels and dont pay over 45 dollars! sorry i cant be more specific. have fun, and tell me how it goes! :)
Claire
Hi Leah,
I'm heading to Vietnam in August and found your blog while searching for info on Halong Bay.
Really would like to do a tour, but nothing fancy, as we're strapped for cash - your price sounds perfect! Could you tell me the name of the tour operator please? Hopefully we'll pay at the lower end too!
Thanks
