I have been in Buenos Aires now for four days. My first night here ended up in a drunken binge with with a couple of guys that were flying home the next day. I don`t know if they made on the plane. I was a total write-off the next day. The killer for me is red wine. They drink it here like cordial. After a couple of glasses of the stuff I start ...

The time has nearly arrived to rejoin family and friends at a place called home on a different part of this big round ball were all living on. I still cant confirm whether or not the earth is actually round, but I definitely didn't see any edges. Six months gone in a flash, it only seems like 5 minutes ago my dad and brother seemed slightly over...

Monday 7th May We head to Evita's grave this morning which is in La Recoletta cemetery, We walk there and take in all the sights along the way, the architecture is really impressive, not to mention the designer shops, I don't stop! I am a backpacker now. Recoletta cemetery is really impressive, everything is so ostentatious, there aren't headsto...

I've eaten the meat and an all-you-can-eat asado dinner. I've watched Tango dancers float across cobblestone streets. I've been surrounded by the cascades of Iguazú. I've eked through the currents of shoppers, lovers, and tourists of the Sunday Artesenal street fairs. I've had two weeks of fairly authentic Argentinian experiences. But there is n...

Another bus almost missed, but with ten minutes to spare I jumped on the over night bus journey with Siobhan and Sammy really for the 17 hour trip to Buenos Aires. About 2 hours in to the trip we were stopped and searched, this has become A regular thing in South America and the bus carried on when the police and sniffer dogs got off. I had just...

Here then, at long last, we were. This, post cusco/machu picchu, and i suppose to a lesser extent, ushuaia, was the big goal - the thing i had been aiming for and working towards; and after almost 6 months of toil and struggle, and 2.5 months after being in Cusco, Peru, having worked my way right down to the very end of the world and back up aga...

Bit cold here. Gimmie some of that English weather you have been having! (Never thought that I would have said that)

Well what a **** day today turned out to be. We were due to fly to Iguassu first thing this morning but the flight was cancelled and we were put on another which was supposed to leave later in the morning. To cut a very long story short we never got airborne until around 9.30 PM and were given about 5 different stories as to why we had to suffer...

Buenos Aires, oh what an interesting city. On thursday I arrived to thunder, lighting and rain, rain, rain. Having come from England, where it is not exactly hot, this was not what I was hoping for. Slightly worrying, on my way over, I got talking to a local guy on the plane followed by a couple from Chile and another from Holland who found it v...
