We hopped on board bus number 45,000 from Bogota to head to a little town called Maripita which is just three hours shy of Manizallis in the heart of the coffee region. The landscape is absolutely stunning. Southern Colombia is lush and green, the ... Read more >

We left Mancora on a
beautiful sunny afternoon (boo) and hopped a stifling sweaty bus to the
Ecuadorean border; destination: Baños. The bus we subsequently nicknamed 'the
disco bus' (neon strip lighting and groovy 80's psychadelic designs) we ... Read more >

To follow on from beloved Cusco, we bused from Cusco to Lima (19 hrs) where we stayed in a lovely new hostel run by a couple of young French guys. Whilst they were lovely and very helpful, when I say a lovely hostel I largely mean good beds. Real ... Read more >

So where was I? Ah yes, on the way to Cusco. Ah Cusco; beloved Cusco. I’m officially a little in love with Cusco. We arrived after another fairly shite bus ride late at night to find the hotel we'd booked and paid for no longer had room. After a small argument ... Read more >

Hola! To
follow on from the last post, we arrived back into Rurrenabaque after the
pampas tour and had a brief stay before departing on a 2 day Jungle tour the
following morning. Sadly Teresa and Dave had to head back to La Paz but Irene
continued ... Read more >

Hola Chicos! To follow on from last post we headed on what was supposed to be a 7 hr bus from Uyuni to Potosi, the highest city in the world. About 25 minutes out of Uyuni on a steep hill the bus ground to a halt. I looked out the window and saw ... Read more >

To say that Bolivia is quite different from Argentina is the understatement of the century. Argentina is colonial and quite modern in its larger cities. Bolivia is like stepping into a scene out of an old American Western. It's dry, desolate, unforgiving ... Read more >

I haven´t updated for a while as we´ve been fairly well on the move and internet in Bolivia can be painfully slow! To back track a little, we had a fantastic time in Mendoza, which is a cool city in the Argentinean wine district. We stayed in an apartment ... Read more >

Following on from the last post, we awoke on Sunday to a glorious day so thunderbirds were go for the Volcano climb. We were relatively unsure as to what to expect; although we knew we needed some fairly technical gear so it wasn´t going to be a walk ... Read more >

Hola amigos, I am writing from Pucon in Chile, a beautiful town at the base of the active volcano Villarrica. We arrived here yesterday from Bariloche on an extremely bloody uncomfortable 12 hr no frills bus ride. It probably didn´t help matters that ... Read more >

I am bloody annoyed after spending an hour composing a beautiful entry full of witty anecdotes and hilarious recounts of events. The bastard didn´t save and enthusiasm has seriously waned, so it´ll be meat and potatoes today I´m sorry. Ushuaia was ... Read more >

We've just arrived in Ushuaia after a few days in sunny Iguazu at a hostel we dubbed 'rancho relaxo'. Great ex casino-come hostel just outside Iguazú . Beautiful pool, cheap cocktails (two for $3 during happy hours), sunshine and lounge chairs.... Read more >

Well to follow on from last
post La Carberra
was AMAZING! The best meal I have ever had a restaurant. The steaks are absolutely
enormous, tender and unbelievably tasty. 400g eye fillet was $13 Aus and came
with about 10 different ... Read more >

It's been a fairly intense week. The city moves at a very fast pace and we've all been flagging trying to keep up! Afternoon naps have become standard practice (a habit we're all keen to break). Hoping it has more to do with jet lag, time adjustments ... Read more >
