Back on the road again…
Bright and early we rise with the sun(ish), then head out into the Arches National park which is another expansive park littered with (need any clues?) natural sandstone Arches.

We set off with free spirits and images of the vast open roads in our newly [...]

Our first full day in South America we explored the new city part of Quito starting with a visit to the Museum del Banco a huge museum over multiple floors covering the history of Ecuador back to precolumbian times, art paintings and contempoary art on the top floor. We worked our way through the new [...]

We have finally reached our last major city before we head off on a 3 week road trip. Quite frankly, I’m a bit bored of skyscrapers and museums so vegas and the road trip should be a breath of fresh air.
We arrived in Las Vegas at about lunchtime via an internal flight. We headed to [...]
