Ausruhen in Corrientes
... bereits um 5:40 hier an. Wir haben den Tag genutzt um gemütlich in Parks Reiseführer zu lesen und auszuruhen. Corrientes eine ziemlich langweilige Stadt und für Touristen sehr unspektakulär. Etwa wie wenn ein Japaner nach Zermatt und Luzern einen Tag ...
Caiman and Capybara, in The Middle Of Nowhere

Off the beaten track
... obviously didn’t help us much! We managed to piece together that for whatever reason the bus would not be stopping at Corrientes bus station and would instead be going to the nearby city of Resistencia. By this point it was getting dark outside ...
Day 25 - Wetlands and wet pants!
... , enough of that, you get the idea. The day started with a downpour that pretty much lasted the whole day and two regions of Argentina. We haven’t seen rain this heavy since West Africa. 'Stair rods’ as my mother would say! We decided that we ...

What a fabulous place, what a fabulous day! We woke to brilliant sunshine and a view of the blue lake in front of our room. We couldn't see any of the grounds last night as it was too dark but in daylight, they are beautiful. A very nice ...
Day 27 -eat, sail, eat, nap, eat, sail, eat, sleep
It's tough in paradise! After breakfast we went on a boat trip down the river which lasted for most of the morning. It was very windy to begin with and we all got a bit wet going across the lake. Once we were in the shelter of the reeds though, the wind ...
Esteros del Ibera – the most relaxed place
... is tiny – 800 people in total, all of whom seem to do nothing apart from sit under their verandas and drink mate (Argentina’s national drink – basically a green tea). The couple of dirt streets that exist here didn’t have a soul on ...
