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 >

So I got on the plane to Buenos Aires no problem, chatted to a lovely Italian woman on the plane, and then the shock began. Not culture shock per say, but shock as realisation hit that the service of Emirates and Singapore Airlines is NOT the norm. ... Read more >
