We left the very hot and humid Brazil behind and flew straight into a freezing, icey cold New York. When we walked out of the airport and stood by the side of the road for 10 minutes waiting for the bus, I thought my face was going to fall off it ... Read more >

We've heard lots of different things
about Sao Paulo. Most of them have been quite negative but a few

In Ilhabela we got lucky with a really
nice hostel (Bonns Ventos), had a swimming pool and a pool table and
a really good breakfast. As we were only there for a few days we

bus ... Read more >

31 st January we went to Parati. We had thought we would

A n
island 150KM south of Rio and off of the coast, Ilha Grande is
supposed to have some of Brazil's best beaches. We had managed to

From Foz do Iguacu (on the Brazilian
side of the falls) we decided to get a bus straight to Rio de
Janeiro. What a long bus journey that was. We couldn't even get a
good bus. Just 25 little hours later we arrived in Rio's extremely
... Read more >

From Puerto Madryn we got a bus to Rio Gallegos (18 hours) where we had to wait a couple of hours to get another bus to El Calfate (5 hours). We were pretty nackered by the time we got there but as we're limited on time we had to rush around sorting ... Read more >

The purpos of going all the way to the Argentinian coast and Puerto Madryn was to go whale watching. But did we see any? Were we happy or disappointed? The suspense is killing you I'm sure.
Puerto Madryn is an ok town on the coast. Nothing special ... Read more >

I've got an early start so here come 3 quick stories (probably with lots of spellings mistakes, especially place names). After leaving Puerto Varas we crossed the border back into Argentina and went to a town called Barilcohe. It has a pretty similar ... Read more >

On the 26th October we arrived in Uyuni. A very small town in Bolivia but a popular destination for travellers because it's a jumping off point to do a tour of the salt flats and the south west corner of Bolivia. The tour stared at 10:30 a.m and ... Read more >

After soaking up the sun in Coroico, we went back to La Paz. We stayed in a
