Hotel Cordoba Villa Carlos Paz

... in store for Darryl. He eats so much, so fast and is still carrying a six pack. I stop running for a month and become a beluga whale while this monster of a man continues to devour small children and stray dogs while still parading the body of a Greek god.
My only refuge is that Greek men like it up the ****.

The steak was the only good thing to come out of Salta. That night I became violently ill. I saw shapes and colours dancing on the hostel ceiling. I slept in a pool of ...

... abschrecken. In einem anderen Haus wird beispielsweise mindestens alle 2 Wochen eingebrochen (bei uns noch nie) also sind wir ganz gut unterwegs...
Was etwas unangenehm ist, ist dass das Dach bei jedem kleinen Windstoss so stark scheppert das man glaubt eine Strassenbahn ueberfaehrt das Haus. Joel konnte letzte Nacht kaum schlafen (haha). Aussichten auf eine Reperatur sind etwas gering... da selbst bei einem ...

... in. I moved on from there to an art museum, Museo de Bellas Artes Emilio Caraffa, which was also free. It was the first really nice musuem I had been to in South America. I find that usually it seems as if someone just threw everything on a shelf or up on the wall just because they have it whereas here, the work was actually nicely displayed. I could appreciate it more because it was layed out in a more appealing way ...

... Cordoba was really cool... we visited an amazing hippy/artisan market which took over a whole block... all the usual crazy insturments/clothes/leather goods and general random stuff on display everywhere.. we have decided we are going to grow our hair long (longer anyway) and become hippies, selling crafts which we will make in abundance upon our return to England. And no this is not just another fad or a passing craze. Like the pogo stick, Samīs metal detector ...

... to Iguazu ahead of us and Olivia needed new books! Downtown has some interesting sculptures and buildings including the capuchin church complete with gargoyles. Unfortunately it was closed so we could only admire the colourful exterior. We were feeling quite lazy so decided we would go and see a movie. Mamma Mia was the only one showing at the time we wanted with subtitles and unfortunately thatīs what we saw ...

... you have the mother of all, the ultimate combo, the heavy snore and **** combo, here you`ll need the mufflers, F1 ear plugs and maybe a gas mask!! Smokers beware of this one the next morning, there maybe a huge explosion if you decide to light up! So there you have it, a penny for thought for us backpackers sharing rooms with randomers who enjoy snoring! Until next time, take care and keep the mails coming. Mark

Es wird Zeit, dass ich von meinem neuen Job berichte... Seit Anfang Januar ist die Saison der Schuelerreisen zu Ende und die normale Hochsaison hat angefangen. Damit hat sich dort, wo ich bisher garbeitet habe alles geaendert. Dorthin kommen jetzt nur noch einzelne Touristen, die nicht alle Aktivitaeten machen und mehr in Ruhe am Strand liegen wollen. Viele von meinen vorherigen Kollegen arbeiten jetzt nicht mehr dort. Mein Chef, der ...

... the landscape too flat to be interesting. Much like the Netherlands. But without the windmills. Or a pizza. But without the cheese. There was, however, an impressive moon setting in the evening. Viewed from the top deck of the bus - an enormous, red moon sinking over the horizon. Not as spectacular as the one I saw in the Galapagos, but good nonetheless. One word of advice, however. Donīt sit on the front seat of the bus. You canīt see the film properly. And it looked like a ...

... is like something you would find in the business class section of an aeroplane. We got dinner, coke, wine and even a nightcap - whiskey on ice on the bus.....There were films and breakfast too.....it was amazing! There will definitely be no flying in Argentina.....buses are the way forward. I think I slept for about 8 hours solid! We are just chilling out here in Cordoba.....drinking coffee, eating ...

... roomies was working in Bolivia until last week and she advised me against going on my own without being able to speak Spanish, which I guess was the sign I was looking for. Then I heard that one of the places I was thinking of going was very tourist unfriendly, so that clinched it. I'm going back to Iguazu falls on the way to the beach and retaking all the photos I managed to erase from my smart card the last time!
