Yesterday we literally did nothing other than sit by the pool, drink cocktails and enjoy the sun. At about 4pm it rained really heavily so we all huddled under the canopy that protected the bar and stayed in the pool until it was dark! Paul and Chalkie felt like they needed one last adventure so… Continue reading Quad Biking near Manuel Antonio

Zip lining over The Sacred Valley
This morning we left the hotel at 8am and took a 2 hour minibus ride to The Sacred Valley just outside of Cusco. We knew we had signed up for a trek and some zip lining but were a little surprised when we arrived. The minibus pulled up by a 300m vertical rock face that… Continue reading Zip lining over The Sacred Valley
White water rafting in Puerto Montt
After the penguin tour on Friday, Aimi began to feel unwell so luckily we had two sea days on Saturday and Sunday for her to relax.

We visited the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, the Washington Monument and Capitol Hill. Luckily the weather was really nice again… Continue reading Washington Segway Tour
Let’s Go Yankees Let’s Go
We got up at 8am and watched the highlights of the Royal Wedding. Everyone has gone crazy for Prince William and Kate and apparently 2 billion people are tuning in to watch the event. We feel a bit home sick today because we know everyone at home is celebrating and the whole country will be… Continue reading Let’s Go Yankees Let’s Go
Segway Tour through Chicago
We wanted to get a good look around Chicago so we booked a segway tour for this morning. I had never been on a Segway before so was a bit scared but it was great fun and I’m very glad we did it. You use your body weight to control the motor, leaning slightly forward… Continue reading Segway Tour through Chicago

There were 7 rafts with 6 people in each and this time we were paddling unlike the… Continue reading Best Activity Ever!
