As an aside...

Kenbe La Foundation
The Kenbe La Foundation was established in the memory of Emily Sanson-Rejouis' husband and two daughters who died in the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Kenbe La means ‘Never Give Up’ in Haitian Creole. With a focus on sports, music, leadership and entrepreneurship, it aims to develop self-confidence in children and enable access to valuable life-skills.
In lieu of wedding presents, we asked people to donate money to this foundation. We will be in Haiti from 20th June until 20th July working at a school that is supported by the Kenbe La Foundation.
“Union Fait La Force” – United We Stand.

This was a truely wonderful place to stay in Santiago. The hosts, Jonathan (an American surfer) and Valentina are lovely, the rooms are really comfortable and clean, and they have great weekend BBQs inviting their Chilean friends around for you to meet. They are both very helpful with advice on the city and wider area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there!

La Chakana
Probably one of the most beautiful places we have stayed ever, due to the stunning sunset view over the valley in Putre, near the northern border crossing between Chile and Bolivia. The best breakfast too!

Hotel Osira
A bit of a splurge in La Paz Bolivia, but it's worth it for the lovely view over Plaza Sucre and great service. And a splurge in Bolivia is not much more than a camp site in NZ!
