Salta 2

ARGENTINA | Monday, 17 Nov 2008 | Views [822]

Hola All, We are staying in the family inn hostel or that is what it seems. As I type, a group of kids are sitting next to me cracking themselves up with a webpage that makes farting sounds and another with a picture of an old man making rude gestures.... Read more >


Salta

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 16 Nov 2008 | Views [982]

Hola All, Time to leave Buenos aires and check out something else. Easy to get seduced by the city.  Consider this. To get to Salta all we had to do was book the train tickets, book the bus tickets, book the hostel. What can possibly go wrong? ah yes ... Read more >


Buenos aires 3

ARGENTINA | Friday, 14 Nov 2008 | Views [731]

Hola All, Have to say that Uruguay isn´t as bad as I made it sound. Montevideo is just a tired city in need of a facelift. The waterfront is a little odd as the water is brown and this is so all the way to buenos aires. Uruguay is a lot more laid ... Read more >


Uruguay

URUGUAY | Thursday, 13 Nov 2008 | Views [963]

Hola All, Sitting on the docks at Buenos aires we looked across the bay and thought - lets just pop into another country for another stamp in the passport (stamp collectors?). So we did. Dumped our winter gear in the storage room of the hostel and ... Read more >


buenos aires 2

ARGENTINA | Tuesday, 11 Nov 2008 | Views [2031]

Hola All, What a fascinating city. Such a mix of old and new. Vanessa and I have walked and walked and walked around the streets. Partially because of bad navigation (not lost...really) and just wandering through different areas. Saw plenty of dog ... Read more >

Hola All, Hopped on the bus at puerto madryn and thought no not another epic bus trip. Sat down and discovered that the seats while lovely, wide and comfortable did not allow me the legroom that i required. Mr cranky. So spent the night trying to get ... Read more >


puerto madryn 2

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 8 Nov 2008 | Views [654]

Hola All, Well certainly saw the penguins. It wasn´t quite what we expected as they were in burrows under bushes and spaced about 1m apart. We were hoping to see a large group out in the ocean. Actually quite a drive of about 400km to get there and ... Read more >


puerto madryn

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 5 Nov 2008 | Views [784]

Hola all, Arrived. tired. The long distance buses are smooth rides with good seats. They ride as if you are in a train without the contant clicking of the wheels on the rail joint. Many are various types of busscar model. Almost all have two levels.... Read more >


El Chalten

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 5 Nov 2008 | Views [1713]

Hola All, 4.5 hrs bus trip and we are at el chalten with a little cloud cover obscuring the mountains but quite nice and sunny otherwise. Little town with some spectacular walks directly from the end of the streets. We planned to be out for 7 days.... Read more >


El Calafate 1

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 5 Nov 2008 | Views [950]

We made a quick exit from Ushuaia on the 4am bus to rio gallagos which was 11 hrs away. Beautiful snow capped mountains and beech trees and a lovely sunrise. After that it became a bit flat and dry with large grass plains with horses, sheep with young ... Read more >


Ushuaia 2

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 26 Oct 2008 | Views [998]

Hola All, Ushuaia...hmm...not for us. This is a tourist city in the middle of a beautiful location which is a real pity. Snow capped mountains and the beagle channel. Ran into Erica who we met at Puerto Natales and again at Torres del paine. She is ... Read more >

Puerto Williams

CHILE | Thursday, 23 Oct 2008 | Views [2060]

Hola All, So we got to the loading wharf for the ferry and all we could see was a ferry called Bahía Azul but no accomodation. The ferry looked like just your typical river crossing ferry and we were going into the open ocean on it! Found the seating ... Read more >


Punta Arenas 3

CHILE | Thursday, 16 Oct 2008 | Views [928]

Hola All, Well we are now the owners of a new canon IS s5 camera. The S2 and S3 both have died due to the dreaded E18 lens error which appears to be some kind of grit in the lens mechanism. Hope the trend does not continue. I stripped the S2 down to ... Read more >


Punta Arenas 2

CHILE | Wednesday, 15 Oct 2008 | Views [1019]

Hola All, We didn`t get to see the penguins as the bus service doesn`t start until tomorrow and then we just don`t want to risk the chance of missing the ferry later in the afternoon. Went for a wander up into the hills this morning. The wind was ... Read more >

Hola All, Just like to start with a big yell of frustration - Ahhhhgggggggggg! Vanessa and I jumped on the bus yesterday as we were getting too comfortable in Puerto Natales with the ever amusing Bill at erratic rock hostal. 3 hrs later and we arrive ... Read more >
