Burst Capillaries Heal
Actually, up here all right. We stayed at the center, away from the stadium, which was irrelevant because Chile also played in Colombia (as we are informed and on the bus from the airport). "That if" we are told, "as we win not even think about approaching the Plaza Italia" => version chilena de Cibeles in Madrid, ie, place where, as also occurs throughout the world (sniff), the thing a mother can go very easily. We look at the map and ... UUUUYYYY! We are close but safe distance, the blast should not go. So we see a shower to shake off the "je-la" and we have to re-encounter with Anna, the first friend (and almost the only) that finally encouraged to meet us around the world. We asked at the hostel where exactly is your hotel y. .. Fooooood! Located in Plaza Italia =: -0
Anyway, we're going to do. Chile does not equal wins. Or not so bad at the celebration.
The fact is that we pick up Hannah, we give the language 2 or 3 hours if we were to be together 2 weeks and would not have time to tell us about it :-), and we will also collect Yola, our cyber-friend traveling (www.dondeestayola.com), with whom we had seen only one afternoon in Hanoi and also for Here. The four of us going to dinner, while Chile (if, say all of the country) is already playing. According dinner will sing the goals and we fear "the worst", and soon effectively Chile wins and even our local chef leaves (temporarily, thankfully) to see the crowd move to Plaza Italia singing at the beginning. Make a desktop of hours, you talk talk, but eventually the "je-la" can with us, so we must take courage.
not know the rest, but in those few days have planted the seeds of a future trip, because all the good suggestions that we already had was added simplicity and authenticity of the people there, are cuddly!
But back to the beauty of the landscape that you can judge whether you animais to see the pictures, Atacama has something more, something that engages a particular energy. Upon arrival reminded us a lot to the Sinai desert, another very special place. And finally, as happens to many people, the people that are mounted in an oasis in the desert (San Pedro de Atacama) ended up spending many more days than we had initially thought. Something kept us trapped. In fact, it has been our record of consistent all year: together with the 3 nights of the tour to Bolivia, in total spent 10 nights in the area (supplanting that, however, has been our favorite place trip: the Okavango Delta). And all this despite the fact that in those days we subjected the tremendous body abruptly, with extreme temperature changes and drying brutal (like a good desert, on the other hand), with huge variations in altitude (2400 m of San Pedro within a few hours we started to over 5000 m. .. take a walk at that height, or rather a swim, then back down ... buf!). But is that so Sabi had friends "of yours" (at least the same color :-), beautiful animal that flamenco, "ein?
What happens to us over the head
There is one aspect in which, to date, all countries that we have in the backpack we were disappointed.
In our opinion, we live accelerated. Especially in the developed world (although, unfortunately, gives us the feeling that is becoming more widespread), go through life in a hurry, with anxiety. Not only we move fast, that course itself is not bad, but we eat fast, drink fast, even in bed are fast =: -0! Finally, joke aside, that everything we want "for now." We can culture of immediacy. Something which, incidentally, has nothing to do with hyperactivity ... I say this because I am a "tad" hyper :-), but I think it is perfectly compatible fill your days with activity and perform each required pause, without acceleration, without anxiety. Not that I always get, but I am aware of the absurdity of this race continues, and I try.
But it is also a topic that the less developed societies to cabmio have the fortune of not having fallen in the desire to finish a thing to go to the next. Living at a different pace, with a different tempo. Do not go fast, and less when the acceleration does not lead to nowhere. But I fear all we have known have stopped for us is more compelling consideration for this subject: the rise and fall behavior of bus, train or, especially, airplanes. Go ahead
explicitly excluding compartments "here anything goes' of trains in India, without a reserved seat and where you play it heads or tails in the struggle to position yourself when the train arrives (and if you lose, you :-/). ceiling And also there are buses with the same system in many countries. But elsewhere, is it really that important fight for uploading as soon as possible when your seat will be waiting even upload the final and transportation will not go until they rise all? Okay, I accept that in some cases the hole for luggage is limited, and if you move up in the past you can eat. But what if it is not the case (as often happens in airplanes)? What's the rush for sticking by the position in the queue for boarding, even standing waiting looong time until they start shipping? But is that when getting worse. How many seconds, minutes if I hurry, your life has "won" by being the first out the aisle of the bus, train or plane, even before you arrive, putting his elbow in the eye to whoever needed to achieve your luggage hand? Once again, the plane is the most pathetic, because a large number of those "rush" after you meet them biting their nails in the baggage claim. If you're not you've encountered before in the autobusillo that takes you to the terminal, which of course expected to leave the plane around the world ... but not for those, to leave the autobusillo also devastate you.
And, as I say, no country that has not stopped this "unexplained acceleration test." What a disappointment :-( ---------------------------------
is everything, and from the relaxed beaches of Brazil. In short week about 3 we'll tell you that this is going on here.
Tchau!

After Pregnancy Tattoos On Hip
I have a strange feeling writing this epilogue.
one hand, one could call the "epilogue from a distance" because more than 15 days since we left that area in the world. But at this early stage in Chile have been traveling with more people (and I will tell you), and there has been no opportunity to sit a few hours ahead (essential to calmly wait for inspiration to come, or otherwise appear to "spit" the blog entry that I take it off of him ... and the last thing I want, or write it as I like or do not). And, although it seems increcible have been 15 days so intense that our 2 months in Oceania now seem a distant dream, a trip we made a long time =: -0
On the other hand, this epilogue is also special in that not many notes I have accumulated over 2 months just for this final reflection, while in the two previous epilogue had accumulated so much material had to do selection. Trying to find a reason, I can think of two different one for each type of country we've visited in Oceania: Australia and New Zealand are so Western, so similar to Spain in many aspects, and also so well known to us, that we have not many situations encountered exotic, original, culturally as special and encourages me to write them down. And in Fiji and French Polynesia have been tan inmersos en el ritmo isleño, tan relajados, tan ocupados em vivir la esencia de estos destinos de desconexion... que el blog quedaba no en segundo plano (eso siempre), sino en decimo segundo.
Pero vamos alla, hagamos un breve resumen de estos dos meses en los que hemos intercalado (cual chicha del bocata) dos paises preciosos aunque occidentales, entre otros dos exoticos y paradisiacos (que han hecho las veces del pan mas exquisito :-) Y se me ocurre una forma distinta de resumir nuestros dias por estos destinos, respondiendo a la pregunta siguiente: ¿viviriamos aqui?
En Australia y Nueva Zelanda, sin dudarlo. Tienen una mezcla perfecta de paises desarrollados (lease comodos y seguros) junto with nature in abundance. The character of the people also fits us, like to enjoy life, are open and expressive, loving sports and spending time outdoors. The climate of New Zealand, particularly the South Island, it may be too strict for our "chilly" ... but we would be willing to try. And indeed, in Australia as we did last year (we were almost half of the year in Melbourne), although in this case I offer the rigors of the project that I worked, in general I loved the experience and enjoyed a lot all the breaks we did.
But that was the simple answer, now comes the most complejilla: Would you live in Fiji or in Polynesia French? If you remember, this was one of the jokes at the beginning of the trip: that as we stayed on the road, such as renting deckchairs on a beach in Tahiti. However, as so often happens with dreams, that would be difficult to bring to reality. Without going any further because, as we learned after going through there, Tahiti and its islands are a beach destination well (there is very little natural beach and artificial large hotels are dwarfs), so that no excessive demand :-) hire loungers No, joking aside, these islands are a wonderful destination for a vacation and, once again, we found that not only are so luxurious. Before leaving, I remember reading a blog from other English travelers a tremendous critical to French Polynesia, which they considered exorbitant and unjustifiably expensive, and their supposed natural beauty had disappointed them. After passing through there, as well as for Fiji, I get the idea they could have that feeling, if someone lands on the islands of the Pacific (in any, so I have understood) with a BUDGET wearing em like Asia or South America (the most typical previous stops on the routes around the world), will barely make ends meet. Sleeping and eating only take so much money that you can do to stay limited to less attractive areas in the islands less attractive, and not being able to do or an activity that lets you really enjoy these sites. But if your economic expectations are more realistic, and you have some luck with the weather (logically, if it rains non-stop to the invention is crappy), I can not imagine why anyone would not enjoy these islands. Being more specific, and if it helps anyone considering the trip, we stayed in Fiji about 50 euros per person per day, while in French Polynesia rose to about 75 euros per person and day, nothing exorbitant, you will agree, As you will remember having read and seen in the photos we have not cut in touring various islands or to sign up for activities. In summary, it can do for less than what you spend vacationing in Europe (flight not included).
But to live there ... that's another thing. Except for 2 or 3 islands French Polynesia, the rest are too small and / or quiet (for the main island of Fiji, where 200,000 people live but all "apelotonaditos" in the capital) for our activity threshold minimum. While here should differ. Eva says she would look if not living a very long season in one of the larger islands, while in my case that would be significantly shorter season: - / Maybe with time you get used to, and may even be "reprogrammed" to avoid being so fidgety or may not need such a wide variety of activities, we've actually seen a hyperactive handful of people that live happily in these parts, now that I think. So perhaps until we test we will leave no doubts. Discarded 10 years ago to move to Gran Canaria, where Eva had offered him a scholarship to the Oceanographic Institute, although part of the reason was that it was only for one year and not much chance of extension. On the other hand, have always said that we would love to live a time in Mallorca, but I see it differently or Canary islands we visited in the South Pacific: Although size may not be much more, gives us the sensation that has a lot more "real life", not exclusively focused on tourism. And what real life is of little tourism? Nothing at all, obviously we feel like just maybe something monotonous ... like so many other occupations, on the other. So, after all this dissertation, it is obvious that our doubts are unfounded, the result of ignorance about that other life, so if there would have equal opportunity to try. And we may be surprised!
However, although we felt like starting is far less easy to stay and live in Fiji or French Polynesia. They are not newly discovered paradise, obviously, so there is much competition for the few jobs that can be aimed at foreigners. And among the local unemployment rate is high. In French Polynesia, in addition, there is much more French culture than we imagined (out of ignorance, of course), nothing against the French because, besides which there usually come by be of different stuff and not the typical Parisian arrogant ... but minus one for an exotic touch to what would live in Polynesia. Because addition, the topic of Polynesian beauty must go back to the days before fast food because it costs today to find it: - /, are what Eva and I call "traditional proportions" (which we read in a book about Botswana to describe the shapes of the African big women, big hips and ass equivalent
:-) [By the way, however, the topic of the beauty of people is VERY true in Brazil, where I finish writing this chronicle]
Finally, after all these countries realize that I've done almost no mention to eat (and drink). And the reason is that we have come across little exotic enough to share in the blog. This is not to say, much less, that we have not enjoyed the food (and drink, I insist :-)
After 7 months of traveling through countries where drinking tap water is prohibited, and fruits and vegetables you should only if you can eat them unpeeled, in this sense has been a pleasure to return to "civilization" in this part of the world. We've put a warm salad and fruit, which otherwise has been good to offset the excess heating of the Western diet ... especially in Australia, which has recently overtaken the U.S. as "the fattest countries in the world" They were so ashamed that was the subject of conversation on several occasions. The first time I heard, while in Fiji, we were surprised, but after the 10 days we spent in nearby Brisbane and fit us more, because the density is impressive shopping temptations of junk food and varied.
traveler's reflections
With nearly 10-month sabbatical at our backs, now if I fully share what someone told me long ago, even before this trip Ecuador: Eva and I are passing a test scrotumtightening coexistence. After the summer holidays, that espoca the year after that excessive friction causes the highest percentage of divorces in the "developed" societies, another friend acknowledged me with a wonderful sincerity that tensions after several days of 24 hours with his family had made him think of us, and how would take him after so many months of "Pin and Pon." He promised to write something about it, so here goes.
To begin, I must say that one of the biggest surprises pre-trip was the amount of people who, to tell our life long dream finally materialize this year, we asked whether we were not going to finish a cake. Our surprise the first times I heard (as with friends who coined the terminology "Pin and Pon") arose for two reasons: first, our vision was exactly the opposite, and just enjoy each other uninterrupted for 366 days was one of the biggest attractions of the trip. But even more than shocked us, recognizing our surprise at the question, the answer was sincere in his case would end a fixed cakes =: -0
After 10 months of travel, understand those questions now :-)
This year of intense living was different to what I thought it would go ahead. But I think (I hope) we've learned a lot about how to evolve our interaction. As once again adapt to the changes our character suffers over the years. How to avoid the superficial and irrelevant to the substance, and we continue to enjoy the company of each other a few years more ... until next sabbatical, which we will have another 366 days to return to strengthen our relationship, if necessary :-)
What was different on this trip? Above all, as already contained some time, the essence of a trip of this kind. When you organize in time your 3 or 4 weeks of vacation you take 80% of the logistics settled and only way is for 20% of the remaining details and possible contingencies. Even the few decisions to take on the go turn on some critical aspects, such as deciding where to stick his gastronomic tribute tonight. When the percentages are reversed, decide on a daily, if you link a string of "high-sync" everything goes smoothly, but when not so the constant argument about which option is best to wear. Over the months, we have learned are to take these "debates" more sports ... finally, after all, if you "lose" one does not have to wait long for the opportunity of revenge
recently ;-) I also understood another reason for me, could say, initial naivete (drawbacks of being a romantic). We traveled several days in Bolivia and Emma Scott, a Scottish couple in their early twenties, at 6-month journey across South America. I looked and could not rewind yourself to avoid nearly 20 years ago, the summers of our first Interrail through Europe. His age and the early stage of their relationship, to the trip itself was much less important than the fact of enjoying together, sharing so many days and nights, so many experiences that couple also lived radically different because you saw them through another's eyes. Apart from that they were very Majete, it was nice to see them thrive. Because it's like Eve and I have always gone (not only the world but if you press me, for life).
I can not say that we were able to maintain that mood (ZP dixit) throughout the year, as we thought at first it would be. But we recovered from some turbulence a few months, when the initial energy ceded slightly and shook on his face every day with something other than we had imagined. And since then, with ups and downs as Naturally, our level of enjoyment in the universal scale of Pin and Pon has been a crescendo. Today we are faced with the illusion of seeing more mature, more baggage, we subtracted 66 days of travel ... and all who come after

Replacement Samsung Lcd Stand
Sunday September 20 - Yesterday we arrived in Tahiti, another our most sought after destinations this year, as always. And we got tarnished. Da
a tad ashamed to tell the truth. Both 366 Saturday, earning both a day traveling to the East, so much explanation in my first entries on Line International Date Change ... and when the big day comes that we won, and we fell into it! : - / It turns out that Tuesday September 20 we left Auckland at 10 am, and arrived in Tahiti at 3 pm Auckland time + 2 hours ahead = 5 pm. But of course, Tahiti is just across the change of date, so I returned to be September 19th! With the last preparations before leaving New Zealand (washing machines last minute, packing winter clothes to leave in Auckland, update the blog), because we were not calm enough to think about it ... but as we were on the plane and the pilot said that it took us (not to mention the change of day), we started to take bills and cherry crocodile. Too late, of course, because we had been to our next host (CouchSurfing once again) to pick us up at the airport at 5 pm the day 20. So we had to find a hostel in a hurry to spend the night, and like today we could not contact it (just have your email, you should not look every day) back to the airport at 5 pm, this time if today 20.
In short: - / The fact that plane tickets do not indicate the typical +1 or -1 when not arrive on the same day did not help, because it's not that we had "saved" was the line where the change of date (plus is a straight line but not much). But rather blamed the state of relaxation that we have reached after 8 months of sabbatical. Lately we have more and more small oversights (without going too far, we have brought to eat a can that we can not open, and the Swiss army knife in the hotel :-/), but we must "let us look" not to pass over. What they said: tarnished.
Anyway, the point is that we are here at our third destination "typically quiet" in the popular imagination (Mauritius, Fiji, Tahiti and now). And as interesting statistic, three have come in Saturday . What's hot? Notice that in any case what we had prepared, because here even the International Date Line had to conspire behind our backs to complete this beautiful coincidence :-) That is nothing more than that, because otherwise your first full day in anywhere (but especially in the islands, where the break is sacred) is a Sunday is rather inconvenient. The vast majority of things are closed (we, for "apañeros" of Valencia, close to the port!), and here even the buses run on Sundays ... so we have come to spend the day at a beach near the capital and airport. In fact, we are "squatters" (legally) one of those beaches "private" resort. Squatted along with a good grupete premises, because if you notice that it is Sunday and is great fun to see them enjoy their day off.
And since we have the hotelazo here ... I went to ask that I open the can and without problems, Majete. So, to eat!
Tuesday, September 22 - Well, well, well ... this paradise is going from bad to worse :-( If they escape us on Saturday was strake 366, which today is Almodovar film (specifically, "What Have I Done to Deserve This").
I put in a situation. After a couple of days in Tahiti, the island's largest and most populated of French Polynesia (and, as often happens, the less attractive), finally took the first flight of five that will lead us through almost all islands of the Company. Both takeoff and landing have an im-pressive view of two of them, with their classic "picachus" petaditos of vegetation and surrounded by coral turquoise lagoon. We arrived and everything is Maupiti Polynesian dream: an airport is nothing but a straw techadito, a friendly boatman we get with 2 necklaces of flowers and takes us across the lake to our accommodation, which is of course on the beach and we prácticament alone. And there they pitched the tent (to 40 € the night, so that you see an idea like this percale if you want your bed and all that), and presents us with some juice and a baguette with jam for breakfast, while we rub eyes with our "home" for the next 3 days.
As we got up at 4:30 (live here with the sun), Eve takes a nap on the beach while I decided to inaugurate the bathing season. I get no flip-flops and, of course, that is filled with sharp pieces of coral loose, so I get to swim while covering 50 cms. Al I have enough time, I turn around and swim to the beach to the tran-tran, freaking out with the clarity and color of the water. When I'm around, cone!, Stamped his foot because he does not, a rare move his arm to try to join y. .. ZAP! Those who know me from long ago and what I imagined habreis: my left shoulder fateful "tad" out of place =: -0
at the time turned out that could have been much worse, but we are in the most remote and small island with the plane only recently taken off daily, and in a country they have just inaugurated its first Faculty of Medicine. Although the first thing that comes to my mind is something along the lines of "cagon'to, the first day in paradise and already I fucked up the fun! ". In short, the following times are the most Almodóvar: Eva awake and give the" big news ", but my face said it all (according to my account). Given my" vast experience "in dislocations shoulder, is that the first moments are critical because the muscle has not yet been seized and chances of re-fit the same ... so I give a couple of instructions to Eva and there he tries the poor woman, but daring to pull strong enough. I'm already seeing the stars and, although the movement attempt in a couple of times I got good result, na na. With good reason, Eva asked me to wait there is not a doctor on the island, tells the couple that leads the hostel / camping and complete picture with them both + the odd tourist who was there looking at me with eyes of lambs degollaos (reflection of mine, I imagine, by now huddled in the sand, the only position in which the pain is not me Mel Gibson calls imitate the "Lethal Weapon" and put the man with one punch).
turns out that if, on the island of 200 inhabitants is no doctor (we shall see that not one, but two, thanks to Tahiti and its islands are territories of France and health care at home, live France!) , so to get on the boat in my state ... I laugh at me in that ambulance suicide sack me Palacio de los Deportes in Madrid the first time that I spend one of these =: -0 When we arrived, the nurse (Yes, there is also a nurse!) Gives confidence and also offers lamb degollao face: - / When the doctor finally gets me I can not even lift his head to look at her, but Eva tells me it is serious but it seems competent. That if you are going to call her male colleague who has more strength =: -0
Anyway, when comes the companion fortunately know what to do, poker in the interval since the nurse had made a Christ that so much blood that had left him trying to prick a sedative into a vein. But I am finally in good hands, I realize when I say directly that I lie on the floor, put me aside and gave me a foot in the armpit. Had been so long that cost a couple of pulls, but the old school, "her doctor" I put it. And immediately ending martyrdom.
So, for a few brief hours that seemed endless to me, this paradise is much like me to hell. Still, you can imagine he could have been a lot worse (we've been to many places but lost a LOT of civilization), so a few hours we were already laughing at the adventure as we admired our first evening Tahiti conscious, followed by a sky star as seen in few areas of the world. And both, and if Paradise.
Tuesday September 29 - Definitely, in this paradise are some glasses. If the two previous statements (especially temita hombro) no fue suficiente, hoy si que lo unico que nos venia a la cabeza es, como decia el Pepe Gafez, "¡QUE MALA SUEEEERTEEEE!" :-(
Os vuelvo a poner en contexto. En Maupiti, la primera de las islas, una vez los dos bracitos en su sitio tuvimos un par de dias bonitos y los disfrutamos a pesar de no estar yo al 100%. Un dia salimos en kayak por la laguna en busca de mantas raya, Eva remando y yo oteando mientras intentaba mantener el equilibrio sin usar mucho el brazo izquierdo (el kayak era individual, asi que os podeis imaginar la escena :-), nos reimos un monton, Eva se gano la cena con el ejercicio (y yo hice causa comun), y vimos alguna manta aunque muy huidizas. Al dia siguiente subimos al pico mas alto de la isla, which at times required certain dose of quasi-climbing with one hand, juas! But we did it, and the views were to remove the hiccups and forget all evil.
And from there, time is twisted, up to 4 days straight chain completely overcast skies (except small parenthesis a few hours), quite windy, and sometimes tropical storms, which could be defined as lei Some sites, like "Rain Man" = rain only once and not long, but way (as opposed to "female rain" = rain a while not very strong and then back to rain a little, so hours or whole days).
And we were, having spent 3 days on Raiatea and our first day in Bora Bora boiled enough, when the fifth day came a spectacular morning. In Bora Bora, a beautiful island but very tourist oriented luxury, everything is super-expensive ... but even so the day before we had made the idea of \u200b\u200bpulling the boat out and rent a zodiac 4 short hours to cross the lagoon to our air. Only if it came out nice, because it was too much dough for not having the perfect day ... but it was perfect. So we frotabamos the hands of emotion while doing the papers with the boat rental site, where the guy gets a call. We do not understand what he says (in French), but he gets serious and when you hang up, he says: "Before leaving, I have to warn you a little theme: if you see the lake gets a little bit brave, better come back, because no tsunami warning.
Comoooorrrrlll "? What is the probability of getting caught by a tsunami? Amos, pa'mi to be only a slightly higher than being struck by lightning: - / For Carlos, the cagamos, and makes no attempt to boot it or na na. Soon they began to sound alarms warning of the tsunami, everyone evacuated coastal areas, and we recommend to ascend to a height (a minimum of 10 meters). After a few tense hours of waiting (half of the people pelin angustiadilla, and half a finger on the trigger to see if at least one photo pillabamos cojonuda of wave a piece of :-), decided they had passed the period of caution and let us return to sea. But although there is no notice at all, canceled all activities for caution and we were made and no perfect day in the boat.
Anyway, I hope that this has not been frivolous, because the tsunami if it was a disgrace and died in Samoa lot of people, making jokes aside we can feel fortunate not to have been right there (it was an option then discard) . You actually had a really good day, first entertained with the expectation to live a unique experience from a safe position, and then talk out on the beach with our friends Israelis (of whom speak below.) And to round off, we got a couple of times to snorkel and had a meeting cercanisimo with a spotted eagle ray, a kind of spectacularly beautiful bay, and is the favorite animal of Eve (as has tattooed on his foot) but had never seen free .
So that, for reasons quite different from what we had imagined, Bora Bora remember specially.
Thursday, October 8 - Today was our last day in French Polynesia, and we go from here with a smile from ear to ear and the jinx forgotten. After
Bora Bora and the episode of the tsunami, the weather improved considerably, and spent 4 days on the island very quiet and hardly explored wilder than we've known (Huahine, whose rough translation is "vagina" ... ole Now :-) 4 days followed by other much more active in the most populous after Tahiti and also the most tourist after Bora Bora, Moorea. Lots of sun, lots of beach, sea, sea, and many Hinano (local beer). Also we socialized a lot more in the second half, although without reaching the level of Fiji, we have enjoyed visiting a few days and many nights chupipandi fraternization dinner followed by speeches and games until you drop. We had a great, and now we feel sorry to have to leave.
And among other things, because the end of a party has been tremendous.
Before continuing, I must say that if something was a little disappointed we French Polynesia has been under water. There are very little coral, possibly equally fleeced by a star that devours and by unsustainable tourism industry for many years. And local customs, which are also to see the ocean as an inexhaustible source of resources. So snorkeling was pretty depressing, hoping that it was at least the level of Fiji and constatantdo that looked more like the Mediterranean but with tropical species. Amos, if the minnows were hiding as soon as I looked, symptom of that here there is a lot to gun spearfishing. Even at last made a dive with a bottle, we reconfirmed that it was a site that would be worth spending the Paston it ... but at least the dive was as happy note that probe successfully return to diving after that perforate the eardrum me on my last dive, to a year and a half in Australia.
But this morning, as a parting gift, we gave one last (and other) opportunity to underwater life around here: we come to swim with whales . We had been 3 experiences of this kind so far this trip (the whale shark in Mozambique, the dolphins in Mauritius, and blankets in Fiji), in each and every hair stood we like hooks, and vividly remember were among the highlights of this year. But whales this morning I think takes the cake, if only for its size, imagine what it's like looking into the eyes of a mob of between 10 and 15 meters and 40 tonnes, which strange watching you but you can keep swimming a few meters hers, a slight flick sent you back home. We saw 2 males and one female with her calf (of which already weigh 600 kilos and measure 5 meters at birth =: -0), and there have been two great moments: the first vision we had of them swimming together a male, the female and the calf, and on another occasion one of the males has been directly below! ... while half of us thought "Gulps, I hope you do not run the air and you want to come to the surface right now" =: -0 Anyway, the tour has continued much as swimming with more dolphins, rays and sharks .. . but it is almost a "waste" because the magic of the whales supposed to despise what other conditions you marvel.
few weeks ago we happened to start compiling a list of sites that we stay for visiting and we still have things to do after this year, and swimming with whales was just one of them. To our surprise, we have crossed from the list even before return. It dificl for us to think of a better farewell to paradise.
Ia Orana, Tahiti!

Who know (worth mentioning)
Not as much as in Fiji, but in Tahiti and its islands the slow pace has also favored the interaction. Although mixed. We begin with
has perhaps been our most authentic experience of CouchSurfing. Nathalie and her parents (Louise and August) gave us three nights of the historically famous Tahitian hospitality, and although our French is practically non-existent and their parents' English was poor, was one of those times when the desire to communicate beyond these "minimal" obstacles (and, if compounded, turned to Nathalie perfect English). Even the night we cooked for them a more than decent tortilla we feel generous ... because, in addition to, they brought a red tuna sashimi with Louis's secret sauce that makes us salivate just thinking about it. In a country full of luxury hotels and French Sticking expatriates living the high life, they were our immersion in particular as local live not working in the tourism industry, and they treated us like guests of 5 stars.
After this promising start, we had a few days in Tahiti reminded us that one of the worst aspects of travel in parts of France, where most recalcitrant chauvinistic mandate is to make clear that they do not like to visit the country without know your language. There have been many countries in which it has given us very angry not knowing the local language, and us not able to communicate further with his people, but when you feel you "scrub" your limitation and do not show the slightest interest in use a non-neutral language (the English, which most experts know whether or not), in my case the effect is rather the opposite and not just increased my interest to learn their language. Anyway, I've never understood certain claims idiomatic, but are reflections that would give to an entire book. Fortunately, after the first unsuccessful last days if we met very few French Majete. As Anique Marie, a teacher who took more than 20 years "using" his calling to live in all ex-colonies and French overseas territories, and we invite you to dine with her one night. O Guilleaume Tiphaene and a super nice couple on their honeymoon a year in duration with which we agree 3 days in the hostel with more room in which we have been long time.
days were enough people curious to know. For example, throughout the year had not coincided with a single traveler of the Czech Republic, and 2 met 2 different days. But if there was a meeting with a lot to say was the partner of Israelis formed by Shahaf and Pnina. To begin with, Pnina know I identify with her because I think in your case should look like the frustration to come forward and prove that caught your name or that of three: - / And Juanjo, with these two jacks so labeled in English, has proven to be a universally fucking name. Only the German and Dutch heritage and the Afrikans from South Africa, have the same sound and they caught him the first time. For the rest, general have been John (pronounced "Huan"), much to my regret that so just a name that makes me soso ... with all due respect to the Johns read this.
But the most sympathetic of our meeting is that to me sounded Shahaf, but Eva was sure that I had met before, and not in Tahiti. They also remembered him but Eve, displaying an amazing hard disk, it conjured up the exact spot where we had agreed: this (are those who are sitting at the bottom of the pool, jumping behind me.) The best thing is that I do with them to exchange a few words, but Eve had not fallen into the pool because access was steep, so only saw them, and away! Then we started talking and by stories we had told Nathan, Eva also links that CouchSurfing had made her day just before we came, when I let go, they were convinced they were in a seer =: -0 surprise Passed by the accumulation of matches, and exchanged the obligatory "that's a small world!" hit it off very well and spent a couple of evenings to talk nonstop, along with an unexpected day together "threatened" by a distant tsunami. To make matters worse, precisely were in their last days of his trip a year, so it was very interesting for us to hear your feelings about being back ... we still have a long time, but within months we will be in your situation: - /

And just our third continent! The truth is that we had the feeling that time has flown in Oceania, and 2 months have been great. And in Chile, where everything is a lot more like home (including the "ñ" on keyboards :-), if we have a certain feeling that the countdown is accelerating: - / But squeeze it till the end!
PD: October 15 Today is a special day for me. To date was a day of sad memory, but just received news that our niece was born Luna, the daughter of Carol (sister of Eva) and Alvaro. Not yet known, and is the second reason why I feel that I will have a special relationship with this child: the first was that, without knowing it, both his parents and I had the same preference name, and the second is that by the time I had a hunch (or more probably hoping) that was born exactly on the anniversary of the death of my mother, and so diluyese somewhat hardness of this day. Luna has stuck, and as Eva says, we are happy to think that the coincidence suppose that will have a wonderful guardian angel. Welcome to the world, Luna!
