Sarah gives un update of their last few adventures in Argentina...
We're down to the wire now! Only two weeks to go!
Myself, Megan and Esther had an interesting trip! Our flight to Peru cancelled twice but we finally made it out on the 19th! Cusco is a beautiful city and so incredibly different to Buenos Aires. We trekked 22km into the Sacred Valley and stayed a night on the mountain enjoying a traditional Inca Ceremony amongst the ruins. We explored Aguas Calientes and were blown away by the beauty Macchu Picchu and the extent of the ruins! We went horse back riding, met up with the Peru Antips in a club, visited the highest Irish Pub in the World - thanks to Izzy and had lunch at Jack's Cafe - run by a couple from Melbourne. We enjoyed being out of the city and how different the culture really was. Our trip back however was less than smooth - Thank you Ash Cloud! Delayed in Lima and had to make an emergency landing in Cordoba where we had to get a 10 hour bus back to Bs As. Plus, our luggage got lost somewhere in transit - perhaps in Lima - we're still trying to track it down! But we're safe and sound and throughly enjoyed Peru! We wish Arabella, Charlie and Connor better luck when they depart on Wednesday.
In other news! The team in Buenos Aires had a busy week! Pheobe, Izzy, Millie and Bree enjoyed a real Estancia trip with real Argentinian Cowboys, loads of traditional Argentinian Food, as much wine as you want and a traditional folk music show! Arabella and Jess tried their hands at desserts, making heaps of brownies, crepes and biscuits! There may or may not have been an icing sugar incident. Charlie and Daniel had a John Mayer karaoke and Connor took a trip to the hospital for a throat infection and is steadily recovering! There was a trip to the Notorious Jazz Bar and to Lost, as well as enjoying the Long Weekend for 'Flag Day' where a trip to the Rose Gardens was on the cards, being 'full on Argentinan' with Mate and ChorizoPan in the rose gardens. Rosie's parents have arrived for a visit and Rosie is readily showing them around like a 'true local!'
Volunteering is still in full swing, with everyone marvelling at the bonds that have been forged over the last three months and I'm sure will be sad let go in the next few weeks.
The next few weeks are just going to be spent making the most of what we have left and preparing for whatever comes next!
All our Love - Sarah! t
