We would like to wish everyone we know a happy new year! We wish you all the best.

Finally! Today we’re leaving for Buenos Aires to celebrate the new year. There is a long way from Norway to Buenos Aires and the travelling time will be almost 24 hours. What we’re going to on new years eve is not yet decided, but we’re hoping that the hostel will arrange something. Our plan is to stay in Buenos Aires for a few days before we’re heading north to Foz do Iguaçu and later Rio de Janeiro. Our plane is leaving now. You’ll hear from us!

Today it’s only one week until departure and in relation to that we thought it would be a good idea to give you a brief account of our itinerary for the next 5 months.

Argentina:
First stop will be Buenos Aires. Here we’ll celebrate new years eve and get to know the city before we travel north towards Foz do Iguazu. A magnificent waterfall.

Brazil:
We’ll cross the border between Argentina and Brazil at Foz do Iguazu and set the course towards the beaches at the east coast of Brazil. From here we’ll travel north to Rio de Janeiro where we’ll stay for some days before travelling with plane to Peru.

Peru:
We’ll land in Lima, the capital of Peru. For the two weeks in Peru we’ll be following a group of fellow travellers into the Amazonas jungle, to Cusco, Inka Trail with Machu Picchu and Lake Titikaka.

Costa Rica:
From Peru we’ll travel by plane to Costa Rica where we’ll enjoy magnificent sceneries and wildlife. Costa Rica is world-famous for it’s biological diversity. In addition to that there are many spectacular beaches in Costa Rica so we’ll for sure be spending a lot of time by the shoreline.

Los Angeles:
This is really only a intermediate landing, but we have two whole days to spend here. Guess there will be a short drop in at “walk of fame” and other tourist magnets.

Fiji:
Island hopping, the blue lagoon, cast away island, shark diving, and so on. Summer, sun, bathing and beaches. We can’t wait!

New Zealand:
We’ll be staying here for two weeks. No fixed planes yet, but we’ll land in Auckland and according to what we have read about the country there will not be to many dull moments, if any.

Australia:
Arriving in Sydney from New Zealand we’ll drive a rental caravan north towards Cairns. Headwords are: Sydney, Gold Coast, Fraser Island, Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Islands, Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay, and so on.

Bali/Lombok:
Sun and beaches as far sa the eye can see.

Thailand/Malaysia:
We’ll land in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. From here we’ll travel with train or bus north towards Bangkok. We’ll visit Ko Samui, Ko Tao, Ko Phangan and other places of interest on our way to Bangkok. Other than that we’ve planned to visit the Tiger Temple. After 3 weeks in Thailand our journey ends and we’ll be going home to Norway.
