Hola I´m in BA now after a week on the road in "Tortuga" (spanish for Turtle) thats the name of the truck we are travelling in, camping has been really good fun, there something very liberating about living in your own dirt for a few days. The Bush Camps are the worst as there are no facilities, it doesn´t help when it pours down with rain as so...

So I actually wrote a blog about buenos aires, but it got lost in the wonderful wide web....probably just as well, it was a bit of a whinge. I will recap and add to my previous thoughts. First Impressions: Big, Modern, Sleepless. This city really is very big and modern, I can see why people compare it to Europe, or even, but not quite, New York....

We have treated ourselves to a spot of flash packing here in BA what with it being Christmas and all, and are staying in a beautiful little hotel close to the City Centre, in the type of classic early 19th century building that typifies parts of the city. The first night in Argentina meant finding a parrilla and enjoying a very rare steak. Altho...

I flew to Buenos Aires (BA) today from santiago and bob flew in and met me and the rest of the group here. We did a city tour and saw Recolletta Cemetary where Eva Peron (Evita) is buried - all of the tombs are above ground mausoleums, like New Orleans - it was a sign of status - We also drove around the city - beautiful, large boulevards (one o...

So exh...

Hi everyone, Before setting of on our adventures Jess and I did some reading/research on safety precautions while travelling. We learned the do's and don'ts and the many ways common thieves and pickpockets work. So, with what we thought was an adequate knowledge of techniques to safeguard ourselves against these risks we took off with confidence...

Back in BA. Uploaded rafting photos from Mendoza. Will upload more later. http://chaz.shutterfly.com Love Chaz P.S. In case you cant find me, in the boat, I am second from the rear on the left hand side. Jake is in the front right.

I love Buenos Aires. I am not a city person. But this place is special. I truly feel at home here. I am quite certain I will return someday. Arrived on a Saturday morning after yet another 18 hour bus ride from Puerto Madryn. This bus ride was easier though. Made friends with the "staff" (steward guy and 2 drivers) who invited me down to the "co...
