Holy Moly.... Did I do that?!

After our final dinner and night in La Paz Eliza and I jumped on a flight to Santiago, but not before watching the world cup final in the airport with our fellow supporters!! We managed to see most of the game until it was time to board the plane. The pilot announced that Germany had won and one guy with a German flag painted on his cheek got cheers as he had the biggest smile on his face and walked down the isle of the plane to find his seat. What a good day for him!! 
We spent a night in Santiago at the airport hotel before flying back to and landing on good ol' Aussie soil. The flight home was thankfully so much better than the flight over! 

  I am home sweet home in Adelaide and already feel like I must've dreamed the past two weeks!! 
Out of my 500 odd photos I have narrowed my favorites down to 84 :/ 
Oh dear! 
Don't worry folks, I wont put you through looking through THAT many!
 (that excludes you both Mum, John, Dad and Julie... I will put together a slide show, project it onto you living room walls and make you sit through all 500!!) 

SO hard to pick just a few. But here goes. 
The top photo I took when Piero took us to the temple of the hummingbird. Its maybe not the photo I love so much, but the memory of being there. It was super early in the morning and pretty misty, but absolutely beautiful. 
One of my favorite moments of the trip. 
Below is Eliza struggling up the hill (as we all were)... telling herself just one foot in front of the other... then breathe! Such a trooper! 
 Her face says it all...
I took this one really quickly while we were traveling in the truck.
 And I like this one just because I look happy! 
(that is not shit on the ground next to me by the way... 
they are potatoes. I think.)
 Just chillin' at the Machu Picchu ruins...

 And on a boat on Lake Titicaca
 I met some amazing people... In and out of our tour group. 
Shout out to Carly in particular. Mostly for being honest and telling me that ''it's not good''
 the morning I woke up with a puffy face!!
And as many of you might know I love a good 'old person' pic. 
This is my favorite. 
Machu Picchu was everything that I had hoped for and so much more. 
I'm thrilled I had the time and support to do it, and was so lucky to be able to do it with my sisters! What a trip!!
