... for the weekend where me and my wife got sick but luckily baby was fine after two weeks of Erika meeting old friends we decided to have a weekend in Arica which is a small town just cross the broader from Peru the town is quite ans there is not much to do with a kid but we had fun none the less and we even run in to one of Erika's old friends but i don't think i would go back again.

... even
though they are spectacular.

When you think it couldn´t get any worse , we had went through emigration and they had went through our bags etc I decided to go to the toilet and where did my mind tell me to go only to the "the goverment office toilets" I heard a knock on the door and I answered saying 2 minutes then

We hit off a little after 1 and the journey was to last 6 hours, the driver was a maniac drivin at least 70 around nearly 90 degree bends, we were being thrown from side to side the whole way. I was nearly sick and Catriona was seriously shook. We eventully made it without any sick incidents which was a minor miricle. When we got there we had to find a way to cross the border into Chile and it was 8 at night. We headed to ...

When we finally made it, it was just a little bit depressing. All the food stalls were shut down, half the playground had been roped off with what looked like police tape, the part that was open had a few stray dogs hanging around it, and the sand on the beach itself was a charming black ...
