Met up with a Canadian couple in their 60s in the hostel and an American girl Nicole. There were also a pile of Germans. I must say I think that I have seen every possible combination of khaki and army green at this stage. We were talking about what there ... Read more >

Spent four days in Esquel. Wow. Never thought it was possible to be so bored - and I went there with 3 fresh books! After Bariloche, Esquel is nothing special. Surrounded by mountains but they are dusty rather than the pretty green, snowy ones of ... Read more >

San Carlos de Bariloche is a pretty, alpinesque town. It is on a lakeshore - Lago Nahuel Huapi and there are mountains in the background with snow on the top. It´s quite expensive but nice all the same. My first night here I met up with 3 Costa Ricans ... Read more >

Acted the total tourist in Uruguay. First went to the thermal springs in Salto. They were nice and warm but the hot water is so far down in the earth that they just pipe it up into swimming pools. Before I went I had expected something like Rotorua in ... Read more >

In Cordoba at the minute but leaving tmra to go to Rosario. The city has a really European feel to it, maybe cos it´s a university city. Apparantly it was the place where rich Argentinians came to about 50 years ago when there was lots of money in the ... Read more >

Well, I had been warned it was gonna happen but didn´t really expect it to pan out the way it did. On the tour from the Puerto Iguazu to the Argentinian side of the falls we had been given a packed lunch of a bap and an apple. Bout three hours into walking ... Read more >

Moved into the hostel and was looking forward to actually talking to people! You get a free drink voucher so sat on my own and ate my dinner and had a Caipirinha - very, very bitter alcoholic lime drink. There was a guy sitting on his own too and was ... Read more >

Did you know that there is nowhere for anyone to smoke after checking in in Dublin, Heathrow or Sao Paulo airports! I didn´t but I wasn´t impressed. The planes were the usual but I must recommend Kung-fu panda to anyone that hasn´t seen it...not just ... Read more >
