    The ride to Tigre took 1.5 hrs as we passed small traditional villages such as San Isidro and San Fernando.
    Our guide&driver were kind enough to slow down for each of them in order to get some information and take some pics.

    It's amazing to see how people actually live in this delta region, in a complete different way than in the big city.
    Forget about sky-scrapers and traffic, forget about fast foods and asphalt.
    Everything here is water related. Just like in Venice, cars are replaced by boats: school-boat takes the children to the local school daily, post, garbage, 7-elevens, all afloat.
    They even have home-delivery service for when they feel the sudden urge to eat a pizza :)
    I was very surprised to find a school in the delta. It looks like the goverment actually gives damn about this part of the Buenos Aires provence.

    As the tour boat takes you to the restaurant for lunch, you have enough time and opportunities to take that set of cool photos to show back home.
    Our tour had lunch included on the Gato Blanco island. Nothing fancy, just good food and, of course, great wine. It's very relaxing to enjoy your lunch on the terrace as the boats pass by.
    The boat experience was also very pleasant, as the boat itself was clean and the staff very professional and polite.

    Overall, it was a great experience, shot in over 200 photos.
    I would definitely recommend this 1-day excursion.

    Tip: don't forget to bring your sun-screen/sun-block, mosquito repellent, hat and drink plenty of water (bottled, of course)

    Time to Tango

    Our last few days in South America were spent in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. We had decided to skip seeing more of Argentina in favour of a more relaxed end to our trip. BA had got mixed reviews from other travellers we'd met, some loved it, some thought it was just another city. After spending a week there I think I'd agree, with both. …

    It's a Boat ride in Tigre

    Buenos Aires.
    Today we took the subway and a domestic train to the end of the line to visit the town of Tigre. Once we got to Tigre we took a boat ride. The boat we took was a public water bus that made stops at both public and private Jettys. The area is quite unique because it is only accessible by boat. The stops at each Jetty were amazing …
