Welcome to our travel blog. We are Tabitha and Nic. In 2011 we 'retired' in our early 40s and set off to travel the world. We spent our first year in South America and have been lucky enough to make two trips to Antarctica.

Our blog is a record of our travels, thoughts and experiences. It is not a guide book, but we do include some tips and information, so we hope that you may find it useful if you are planning to visit somewhere we have been. Or you may just find it interesting as a bit of armchair travel.

Do we not like penalties.....

So having managed to up their game just enough to reach the next round of Copa America, Argentina drew Uraguay for their match tonight. It was a good match with both sides having a goal, a disallowed goal and a player sent off by the end of normal time. Neither managed a goal in extra time so it went to penalties. It made a nice change to watch penalties in a match not involving England, but it is not an experience Argentina will have enjoyed. Teves took their third fairly poorly and it was saved; with all of the others going in, Argentina are out of the tournament. So not a good result for the hosts. On a happier note I am pleased to report that, after my earlier disappointment, the crowd in the pub made a proper amount of noise at all times. So my faith in Argentine fans is restored, though their faith in their team may be shaken.
