Delta Unplugged Tigre

... and all the shopping/''going out'' streets radiate out from this centre. Which meant within 5 mins I was lost but happy to be wandering and window shopping. Well it was alot of window shopping until I realised they lock all the doors (due to thiefs) and you have to ring a bell to enter... Some of the store designs are amazing and you think the prices will be sky high but be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. Within 2 ...

... the campsite owners phoned up to find out if it was coming up any more. They were told it may do and so have asked us to move around to the front of the land which is slightly higher and more solid. There is no problem here, the river still has to rise at least another foot before it affects us and we still have lots of ground clearance.



8th – Bit of a strange week, the rain has been on and off quite a lot. That said the river did not rise any higher ...

... and cruised through īcustomsī - lets just say they donīt take this anywhere near serious enough to make a reality TV show about it. On to Song 2* (*not literally).

It could have been Song 2 on the taxiīs Triple M Argentinian equivalent, but it was halfway there. Whooah, Livin on a prayer. Buenos Aires didnīt seem quite as far away from home as iīd expected. Except for the language, Iīm certainly gonna have to get good, English is spoken ...

Tres Bocas can be accessed only by boat as it is in the delta area north of Buenos Aires. Composed primarily of small cottages, this small Louisiana Bayou-esque place enchants visitors from less temperate climates but is not quite so exotic to Floridians. This short video takes you 'up the river.'

... a nice pedestrian street full of restaurants. To counter our Cordoba experience, we extracted one particularly delightful culinary memory from the town. We split a much-talked-about "lomo de carne completo" for lunch. This massive local specialty sandwich consists of steak, ham, fried egg, tomato and lettuce on a big bun. Chad was in absolute heaven, but the resulting food coma lasted for days! Our arteries got a ...

... to double book our seats for the trip to Argentina. Getting on the next bus may not have been a problem..... except the next bus with free seats was 10 days later. After some heated words with the bus company (Gemini... be wary of them!) they refused to pay for us to get there by alternate means. Only when we went to the Police station did they relent and pay for a taxi the next day. Anyone who has ridden 12hrs in the back of a 4x4 (with 4 ...

... Buenos Aires has very strong Italian and French influences after several influxes over the last few centuries. It is said by some, that Portenos are known for their arrogance. In addition, many believe that Buenos Aires belongs in Europe, not at the bottom of this third world continent. Regardless of the reputation we found the people very friendly and the city, this huge city of 13 milllion, great. For accommodation we decided to ...

Having had such a hectic time in Buenos Aires previously and having spent two and half long months working really hard at our travelling we decided we really needed to kick back and take things a little easier. Executive stress is a constant danger when backpacking. The Parana Delta is a weekend destination for a lot of Portenos looking for a more relaxed pace of life and consists of a sprawling delta of waterways, boats and houses on stilts. If ...

... head. Not sure what my problem is, but maybe my body is in need of a long recuperation after the drunk ass 2.5 months in Brazil. That was sort of my plan anyways, party my ass off like I was 20 in Brazil, chill and relax in BA (supposed to be in a nice apt with a pool, but we already covered this), and then sight see the rest of the time with some partying thrown in here and there. Lord, could you imagine doing this trip when you were 20 or ...

... be wandering around... Our lunch was worthy of note (most food things are worthy of note for us - but this was particularly good) - Cumana - Rodriguez Peņa between Arenales and Santa Fe - they bake empanadas and pizzas in an adobe oven - and despite the fact that Anya decided she had had enough of the day and had a meltdown, it was muy delicioso. We had dinner in Puerto Madero ...
