In Oct/Nov 2024, Fiona and I went on a grand and epic holiday to South America. Before we left, I wrote a song for the trip and I’ve made a video about it (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElgHno5uBq8). I wrote, produced and performed the song. Christian Foyle played the beautiful acoustic guitar that you’ll hear; and Fiona Leonard sang backing vocals.

We travelled through Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Bolivia (La Paz and the Salt Plains of Uyuni and Copacabana), Peru (Cusco and Machu Picchu) , Colombia (Cartagena, Santa Marta and Medellin); and finally to Lastarria, Santiago.

Lyrics

So we’ve been doing our duolingo
Try not to appear like a gringo

We’re going to fly across the Pacific
Or to be more specific
We’re crossing over to the Atlantic
It’ll be so romantic

Like Rogers and Astaire when they were flying down to Rio
We’ll be drinking Malbec, trying to learn how to tango

And then we’ll catch a train to Cusco
Ride a bus to Machu Picchu
Living every tourist cliche

Romance the stone in Cartagena
Meet tarantulas that’ll eat ya
Giant sloths come down to greet you,
Now we’re lazing on a perfect beach

Yo necesito holiday!
