Cabanas el Viejo Marquez Villa La Angostura

... disappointed in the food choices at the market, considering all the organic farms that supposedly surround the town, all that was on offer was schnitzel sandwiches and empanadas (unrefrigerated), and waffles. So we bought some fresh berries to munch on as we checked out the market stalls and finally settled on our Argentinian souvenir of a hand-crafted mate gourd and a silver bombilla (straw). The man who sold them to us spoke the clearest Spanish we have heard ...

... to know someone had come in and gone through all our belongings. We immediately went to the office and confronted them. All of the sudden they couldn't speak ANY English - funny. So we kept fighting and finally they agreed to take what we were missing off our bill. Unbelievable. So now we take everything with us when we leave our room. We don't like to in case something happens to our bag. So, needless to say, we were ready to get out of this town.

... balcony. The day is slowly evolving and it feels luscious! When it feels right, we depart to get sandwiches for our hike to Cascada Inacayal (a waterfall). Andres had given us a map yesterday, and there is the possibility of also going to Mirador Belvedere or Belvedere Lookout. We'll see what we feel like doing...! We always think of our stomachs, even though we have just finished breakfast, and plan to pick up some sandwiches before setting ...

... to say we don't like the bite of the Argentinians, I think we are just a little out of practice. Fortunately for us the Argentinians speak a lot slower meaning we can actually understand them, pheww. This will mean our Spanish which is coming along will push a little further. Although they do pronounce things here differently and sound a little more Italian then Spanish. We decided to fly to the south El calafate and managed to bag a ...

... doing anything technical just going as fast as I could to get to the end! It took me two hours to do that one run! So after a bit of deep breathing and relaxing in the toilets I bumped into the Israeli boys that are staying in the hostel so I decided to join them on a run. So after joining a massive queue, not that unusual at all here, and fighting our way through the turn stiles a young teenage lift operator asked to see my pass!! BUSTED! I played dumb, told them I bought it from my ...

... plastic glass, filled with extremely strong, luminous blue gunk, tip head back with speed and inhale with gusto. Try not to gag! Laugh at others gagging! Winch at others spewing! shake head at others crawling up the stairs to bed. Place remaining jellies on table and scoop out the contents and shovel in to mouth until none remain! Try to stand with out falling over! Fall over! Drink some more! Stand on table and dance! Look at ...

... mountain and back on the flat wide trails and I tapped my lovely horse on the rump and let him run through the fields whilst I sang the Father Ted Song at the top of my voice telling everybody, this is how the knackers do it! http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=8linZi... Once back at the stables we met some lovely local boys who invited us back to their lodge and got us very merry on whiskey and wine and then proceeded to snog as many of us as they could! Gringo ...

... restaurant. Ik begon me inmiddels een beetje te generen en schopte Cas tegen zīn been, geen reactie. Hij voelde het wel vertelde hij me later maar Cas was on a mission! Na nog zoīn 8 keer gezegd te hebben dat het een very, very good restaurant was wist Cas het zeker. Hier moest nog een keer gegeten worden! En wel tommorrow. Prima, de reservering werd gemaakt en met het schaamrood op mīn kaken liepen ik naar buiten. Ik moest verschrikkelijk ...

Bariloche, our first port of call, lies on the the shores of the pristine Lake Nahuel Huapi (park of an extensive national park), and surrounded by breathtaking snow-capped mountains. This said, the town is more touristy than Queenstown, with every second store selling tents and Gortex, and you canīt swing a cat without hitting tourists wandering around, breaking the tranquility with loud English, French and German. Thereīs a heavy European influence ...

... I have run out of underwear, most of my clothes are stained or ruined in someway, I have put on weight so my clothes are not only ruined but also are tight, I have a cold and a bad back which won`t get better as I can`t rest it, the showers when they are hot are generally scolding and you still feel cold because the room is so cold and to top it all off last week someone stole my shower puff (why?) so I bought a new one which has just broken!!!!! O.k rant over, other ...
