El Calafate - Moreno Glacier

So relieved to be off the mammouth stint on yet another South American ´Tour bus´, phew! I´ve arrived at possibly the best hostel ever made, as we walk into America Del Sur on the outskirts of El Calafate town, im asked to take my shoes off. ´You won´t be needing those...

4 Kayaks, 3 variations of President, 2 Irish lads and a Saga Excursion.

Arrive in Bariloche at 3pm on, what day is it?? Oh yes its a Thursday. Spending 19 hours on a bus really makes you disorientated when you arrive at a new location. I can´t begin to describe the journey into the small lakeside town. The snow-dusted Andes again in the background, the town is...

The Curse of Mendoza...

The f*cking curse of Mendoza begins today... Ok, so the 4.5 litres of not so quality wine didn't help matters but still we were basically the only ones in our hostel! Picture the scene, its a hot day out in beautiful Mendoza. The trees are green, the streets are buzzing with people,...

Mendoza - 4.5 litres of wine, 3 Amigos, one night

So nothing much has really happened since we found out we missed our Buenos Aires - Santiago flight...apart from this little lot! I wake up for the checkout of Tango Hostel at 10, with 2 hours sleep under my belt. Put a call into Mummy, to attempt to sort out this mess with our missed flight....

Should be in Chile, still in Buenos Aires

Made a bit of a boo boo today, well we all did. Firstly i realised that our flight was at 11:30 am 1/6/06, and its already 12 now. So we have all missed our flight because we thought it was tomorrow, for fox sake. Between the three of us, we couldnt work out that our flight was Thursday not...

Week 1 - Buenos Aires

This first week away has been pretty eventful to say the least. Managed to buy myself some hair straighteners at the airport, so already im feeling more at home! (Thanks Kerry). First day went like a dream, Steve and Martin met me at the airport and brought me back to Tango Hostel in the centre...

Day 18

This morning I went to the Argentine side of the falls, which was far more spectacular than the Brazilian side. First I did the "interior circuit," a trail which wanders through the jungle, passing under, over and through some of the falls. I also took a boat ride to the base of several of the...

Day 16

We arrived in Posadas about 9:30 a.m. in torrential rain. Angela kindly guided me to the city bus which took me to the main terminal. Because of the rain and my extremely poor Spanish, I could not figure out a way to stop at the Jesuit ruins in San Ignacio Mini before going on to Iguazu, so I...

Day 15

A traveling day. Early in the morning I purchased my train ticket for Posadas then bid a fond farewell to most of the group as they were leaving for Miami at 9:00. I then walked up Calle Florida to the Plaza de Mayo -- typical in every way. Lunch was with Chris Downey, the NASA doctor, Kyle,...

Day 14

This is what one calls a wasted day. (This is being written on the train, hence the scrawl). In the morning we were all bussed to Tierra de Fuego National Park. While the scenery was spectacular, no one was really in the mood for it. Additionally, the guides constant repeating of every...
