Sushi, sunshine and South America

So we've to go to a wedding in Sydney. Which gives us the perfect excuse to stop off in Tokyo for a few days on the way, cos Asian cities are so vibrant and energetic and so much fun, and we miss Asia since coming home almost a year ago (amazing how time flies eh?). And while we're in Oz, we might as well pop in and visit our friends Kate and Juan in Melbourne and see their new house. And sure on the way home we may as well pop into South America and eat loads of beef, drink plenty of wine, climb Machu Picchu, see the Salt Plains, the Atacama Desert, Lake Titticaca, and, and, and.... see you back in Ireland in February!
