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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >
