So I got to Puerto Iguazu, a little town with a big beautiful waterfall. Although it borders 3 countries (Brazil, and Paraguay also), the Argentinian side is supposed to be the best. And it was incredible. Absolutely majestic waterfalls, bigger than ... Read more >

OK, so it was obvious that I would have to use this reference at least once while I was here. And what better day than my last in Argentina (well until my flight back anyway). So I am in Salta, a lovely wee town in the north of Argentina, and I have ... Read more >

Ok, so a little change in plans since last time we spoke. I arrived in Bariloche, a little town situated at the northern end of the Patagonia region and fell in love with it. It reminded me hugely of Queenstown and was beautiful. I had a great time ... Read more >

Ok, so I´m in Bariloche, a picturesque town situated on the edge of a lake and surrounded by mountains. I feel quite at home here. It´s also nice to have FRESH air, and not have quite so much pollution fill my lungs. The bus trip to Bariloche was ... Read more >

Ok so another food story. I seem to be giving the impression that I am only eating here! Easy to do though, as the food is fantastic. I even tried a steak (their beef is widely agreed to be the best in the world). I havén´t eaten a steak in about 8 years, ... Read more >

I don´t know what´s wrong with me. I have cried twice in the past two days. More than I´ve cried in the past two years! I just don´t cry. I don´t cry at girlie movies. And generally if I do cry, I have the good grace to do it in the comfort of my own ... Read more >
