It was around the world in 90 days for Tom Morrissey and his girlfriend Elaine. Well, seven of South America’s 12 countries to be precise.

The pair only returned home last Friday after taking in the sights and sounds of the Latin continent, from the heights of Machu Picchu to the beaches of CopaCabana and Ipanema.
