And so it's already been nearly a month of a quiet life at Kilombo. The time just seems to fly here even though on the surface not much seems to happen.

After the excitement of seeing the penguins I boarded another overnight bus to Bariloche . Crossing through Patagonia is a rather long process and the landscape does not help. For hours on end all you see is flat land. The only surprise was waking up ... Read more >

And so I crossed over to Argentina. For all those who do plan to cross in Foz , you need to specifically ask the bus driver to stop at the Brazilian border. Otherwise they will only take you through Argentinian immigration and you don't get your ... Read more >
