New Zealand was probably my faverate place so far. We got there and right away I loved Aucland. It was really nice. We got there at 5:00 in the morning aftrer a long flight from Santiago. We were all tierd. I was just happy to be in a englesh speaking place. It was sort of weard though after speaking spanish for so long. When we got there my mom wanted a coffie so I went up to the place and said"Cafe con leche"(coffie with milk) and then I relized we were now in a englesh speaking place so then I said "coffie with milk" and se loked at me like I was stupid and said "do you mean flat white?" and I said yes. We left the airport and went to our apartment. It was small but nice. When we got cheaked in and everything It was 11:00 and we were starving so we went to a food cort and got some stuff to eat. Then my moms got a little sick so went home. We stayed out though. We went to the R.V rent place to see if they had eny R.Vs and they did not. Then we went back to the apartment and mom was doing good now. We spent the rest of the day at home. The next day we went walking around and for lunch we went to the tower and the veiw was amazing. We saw peaple bungy jumping. Then we got an R.V and left. A few days later we arived in Rotarura and spent the day there. We went to this show about the Mouri. It was very cool seeing them doing the dances. Then we went and went on a gondala and then did the Luge. It was very fun. We did 2 runs down. Then we went to the R.V camp and went to bed. A cople days later we went to Wellington to go over to the south Island. We went over on this huge farry, It had lots of rooms. When we got over we started driving for a long time. We drove and drove and drove untill finally we stoped and went to bed. A few days later we went to a place called Wanaka. It was nice but small. We only slep there. The next day we went to Queenstown. I loved it. It was a really nice size. I tend to like big citys more but this I must say was nice. The first thing we did was go to the imformashon center. We picked up soooooo meny flyers there. It was great. We decited to look at the fliers over lunch. So we went over to the water and ate at the cafe by the water. It was so nice. Then we figured out what we were going to do. We went to the under water aquarium and saw a lot of fish. The ducks would even come under the water when we put food out. Then we went to this thing that was sort of like bunggy jumping but you jumped really high and then you free fell 3 to 8 stories. you could do flips and stuff. It was really fun. The girls said that it might be one of the funnest thing they have ever done. Then we dicided to say good bye to Queenstown because we had to get as close as we could to Millford sound. The next day we went to Miiford Sound. It was incredibul. I cannot even discribe it. So meny water falls and cliffs and trees. We were on the boat for 3 hours. After we got of the boat we got in the R.v and drove a long time . The next day we went through Queenstown agen and went back to Wanaka. There we spent the night in the same place we had thew other night. The next day we went to a place called PuzzelTown. It was so cool. The first room was filled with Hollowgrams. They were cool. Then ther was the folowing faces room. That was scary, the faces would follow you. Then we went to a room thet would make peaple look alot taller or shorter then they really are. Then we went into this room that was slanted and it was really weird because you alwas fell down. It was also strange because when you put a poolball on a pool table the ball looked like it would go up hill. And this thing that you sat in looked like it went up hill to. Then we went to the great maze. the maze looked very easy but it ended up being very hard. You had to make into all four corners to win. Me and my mom were the first to win. ...........................................................That day was very fun. After we went to that place we had to drive as far as we could befor dark. The next day all we did was drive and we got to CristChurch. It was a very nice place and a good hotel to. We stayed in a place called Camalot. It was nice and huge compared to the small R.V. That day all we did was hangout at the hotel. The next day we walked around downtown for a little while. It was really nice. We saw some cool things. It was very windy. Then we went t the cautral museum and lerned a lot about New Zealand. The next day we went to the A&P show. That was sooooooo cool and sooooo big. We did not even make to 1/3 of it. We saw alot of new things and saw alot of shows. That was a all day event. The next day we went to a nother all day thing, The Antartice Center. That was a cool place. First we went and wached them feed penguins. That was cool. They were so cute. Then we went to The cold room where the Tempachure was as cold as it is in Antartica. There was a storm going on in there. They had a slide made out of ice. It was really fast. That center was a all day event to. We went back to the hotel ate dinner and want to bed noing that tomarow we would see Alison.........................................................

Chile
Hey,
I am so sorry I have not ritten for a while.
Chile was really nice. First we went to Porte Monte. It was o.k. They have some of the best sea food in the world. It was sort of like Equador and peru. It was dirty and poor. We did not stay there long. Next we went to a place that was near Porte Monte, It was called Porte Vares. It was much nicer. We stayed at this hotel that had thes stray dogs that wold follow us everywhere. Every day we would go up and try to do the ziplines but the person never showed up. After we went to Valdivia. It was also O.K. So far I was not a big fan of Chile. Untill we got to Pucon. It was really nice. We stayed in a place called Monte Verde. It was nice. We had our oun little cabbin that was actualy pritty spashus. We got there late And went to the store, got dinner and went to bed. The next day we got up and went out. My mom did not go.We went to the store and got some lunch and then went bike riding. We found this really nice place on the beach and found some really cute puppies. We returned tha bikes and went to try another zipline. It was really cool. We climbed on latters and went on this really long zipline. I did not want to go at first but then I did it. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun. Then we went back ate dinner and went to bed. The next day was soooooooo exausting. We went on this all day hike. It was really nice but tiering. We got a good nihgt sleep that night. The next day we did the same thing as the first day because we liked it so much. First we went and did a zipline. This one was more fun because It was only ziplines. And there were a lot. They went fast to. Then we went back to the hotel, got my mom and then went for a bike ride. We went out to dinner that night to a fondo resterant. It was really good. We got meat fondo and chease fondo. Then we went to bed. The next day we left for Vilareka. It was also o.k. We stayed there not long. Then we took the long bus ride overnight. We got to our appartment and it was o.k. It was sort of dirtey. But we were onley staying there 4 nights. We hade something go rong that was taribull. Lan (the airline companey took my mom dad and I off the flight to New Zealand. So the whole time we were there.we were trying to get on a nother flight. We did some other things to. We went op and saw the Virgen Mary and did a gondala. We also went to the market. I did not like Santiago very much. We actualy left for New Zealand a day early. So that is a very short post about Chile.

Scary underworld
Hey,
The other night annenelson and I were trying to go down to the lobby of our apartment billding but instead we cept going. Then all of a suden it stoped. We opend the caged door and on the other side instead of being a nother cage door like on all the other floors there was a big solid metel door. We had know clue where we were. We tryed to press to go back to floor 2 (are apartment) but the elivator would not move. It was broken and we were stuck with nothing else to do than open that door. So we opend the door and saw a cold prison type thing with big metel cages. We started to get alittle bit scared. We were able to talk to Liza through the elivator shaft. We told Liza to go det my mom and dad. We were whating for Liza to come back and finally she came back and said that they would not come.That is when Annenelson really started to freak out. We started looking around agen. We found a room with some stairs. The only thing that was rong was that the stairs were pich black. We told our selves that we just had to do it. We started walking up the stairs and got really excited when we saw light under the door. We were finally free we were telling ourselves as we were going up the stairs in with black all around us. We were so happy climbing that stair way to heven. We got up there and tryed to open the door but it was locked. The excitment was over and it turned to fear. We were stuck there, now knowing there was know excaping. Finnally after a little while standing there my dad came and started to talk to us through the elevator shaft. He was asking what wes in there and what was in the doors and why we could not open the door in the pich black room. He was asking why the elevator had broken. All we could say was, "we do not know". We were telling him to do all of these thing to try to get us out. Nothing worked. Finnally we just had to press the alarm. So we presed that and then, a riiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggg rang in our ears but it was not like I thought it would be, it was not what enyone thought it would be. It was really quiet. Thats when we really thought we were going to be in there a long time. Luckely a cuple came down stairs and asked my dad what was going on. The new what to do. They called the person who ceeps all the keys and she then came. She opened the the door to where we were and we were able to get out.
That is a time I will never forget. Annenelson and I were stuck down there together. Annenelson was really crying and scared and I was scared to. But I will not forget it.

Buenos Aires
Hey,
We are in Buenos Aires now and are having a great time. There are so meny nice parks around here. So I like it, because I like big citys. We went to the zoo and saw meny cool animals. The baboon was really cool. We have been geting ice-creem everyday. We took the city tour the other day. That was really cool. We saw so much of the city. There is this big obelisk that looks like the Washington monument. It is a little bit shorter though. There are so meny museums here. So far I have only gone to one. That was the science museum. That was really cool because it was a hands on museum so we could run the experaments. The only bad thing was that we could not understand what the posters said. We also took a train on the cost all the way to the end of Buenos Aires to this amusment park witch I wanted to go to but we did not get to. Instead we went to this little like town that we bought some stuff. Each of us bought a matea cup and straw. Tonight we are going to a dinner and tango show so that should be fun. We tryed going to a movie last night after dinner but that was to late. So far so good. Only 7 months to go.

Machu Peccu
Hey,
How are you? We are doing great.
I am going to talk about Machu Peccu Today.
Machu Peccu was deffentaly one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. The view was incredibull. When you get up there you can tell that it is a sacred place. It was a perfict place after all the travaling we had done and will do. I could really be happy and compleatly strees free about the travaling. The only thing rong with it was that there were to meny people there. It would be nice if it was more quiet in that sacred place. There were just so meny people, mostly aisa people. There were also to meny bugs, at the end of it my legs were eaten up.
In the end we left Machu Peccu with a great felling.

Peru
hey evryone,
How are you, We are doing great. We are in Buenos Aires now and are having a great time. I am so far behind that I am going to have to right about peru while we are in Argentina.
Peru was amazing. We flew into Lima and whent right to the hotel. We got in at like 10:00 p.m. The drive to the hotel was so cool after coming from Ecuador. The lights were incredibul. There were casinos and huge bildings and stuff. We got to the hotel and it was sort of run-down, but we were only staying for one night so it was o.k. We got up the next morning and whent down stairs to eat brakefast. The brakefast was o.k. The coffie was pritty bad though. So after that we went to the coffie shop down the street. Then we walked arownd where we were staying. When we got back it was time to go to the airport to fly to cusco. In cusco we stayed in this pleasant place called hotel arcealogo. I liked that hotel because the rooms had a up-stairs where the beds are. That night it was my chose for dinner so we went out to look at some resterants. Finnaly I chose the Bluebarry Cafe. It was really good. I got the Alpaca, that was interesting but good. Then we went back to the hotel and went to bed. The next day we got up and ate brakefast then went out to go sight seeing. That was cool. It was annelsons tern to chose dinner that night. We chose pizza. Then we went to bed. The next day was when we were leaving to go to Sacred Valley. We went sight seeing first then left for that.

Yesterday we went on the drive to Quito.It was a amazing drive. It was very hard to say goodbye to mairia and her famaly But it had to be done at some point in the trip. We got on the bus and left for Quito thinking that the bus was going to quick and emty because it cost alittle more to get on it. That was not the case. We stoped in evry town picking up new peaple so by the time we got to Quito we had people standing in the isle and praticley siting on our laps. It was a great drive though. I was siting in a window seat so I could see evrything. We saw the 6th largest active valcano on the world called Cottapaxie and we saw the 1rst or 2ecod largest valcano in the world called Chinborazo. We toke a 2 night stay in Baños witch was amazing. Baños is under a valcano that just erupted 2 weeks ago. That was awsome. There was smoke coming out of the top. There was ash evrywere, and also lava rock. We went to the Amazon jungle and saw so meny cool creachers.
Quito is deffentaly a mager big metropolitan city. We are staying at this nice hotel called Los Alpez. Go onto my mom and dads blog to see photos. First click on the link for there blog then once you are there click on the link that is photos.
I will right soon
