New Travel Blog

Ness and I have a dedicated travel blog at Travellerspoint:

So check that out, as I won't be posting much here due to firstly, being busy travelling and secondly, not having much internet access!

Check back from time to time though!

Cuba is looking unlikely. We were trying to get flights to Havana, Cuba from Lima. The trouble is, the flights are about a grand, so we were going to get an 'All American' airpass, which is cheaper than flights. But a week ago we went to an agent to check the price and this airpass to get us from Lima to Havana and back and it was AU$598. Now it is AU$750. For travel in early August. It's a kick in the teeth for flights to go up $150 in a week so we are now checking out other places. August is also high season for Cuba and prices are inflated, and the weather is very hot. So yeah.

Now the contenders are Colombia and Venezuela, and possibly Argentina. Both C and V are closer/over the equator than Argentina and hence warmer - we want a warm place. But flights to Caracas, Venezuela are about AU$600 and Columbia is on the dangerous side so we'd have to fly more around the country (with an airpass). Not sure which one just yet. But, so much logistics, it's a pain in the arse.

Would still really love to go to Cuba though.... it'd just have to be really worth it.
