Our room was boiling hot and sandwiched between the reception and the kitchen, so it was no surprise when we were woken up before 8am by noisy voices ! We had some brekkie and then headed straight into the closest neighbourhood, called San Telmo. We wandered through the streets following a map marking out places of interest, but in truth nothing...

12000km and half a day later we begin our descent into the capital of Argentina. For me, the flight has been uncomfortable with Alitalia. The seats seem even smaller than usual, the bathroom is dirty and the wine had little effect to help me sleep. Still, even before we have touched down, it seems as though we have already arrived...

From my experiences at Buenos Airesī famed bolechos, I have discovered a pattern to the dancing style of Argentine men.  Here are 5 essential steps to become a bona fide porteno dancer: 1.  Zero in on a woman.  Any woman.  Feel free to poach her from your friends, if necessary.  2.  Maintain eye contact with said wo...

Men tillat meg aa felle en liten taare! For det er veldig synd aa reise herfra, selv om vi naa er her for andre gang skulle vi gjerne vaert noen dager til, for en fantastisk by! Kan ikke faa rost den nok, og den har bare en feil, at den ikke ligger naermere Europa. Det hadde vaert en perfekt by for langhelg med shopping++ I dag har vi bare gaatt...

After another 17 hour bus trip we arrived in Buenos Aires mid morning. At least in Argentina they feed you on the buses. The buses are like planes on wheels, you get nice reclining seats, rubbish movies, Spanish music videos, and a food and drinks guy. We stayed three nights in BA. Its a pretty cool looking city, also very European. At a glance ...

Just hanging out in the city.  Managed to walk back to Lavalle and Florida streets to purchase some clothes.  Also went to a free concert in Plaza De Mayo. 

Flying out at 01.25 am and arriving 4 hours later meant that not much sleep was had that night. Arrived safely and really like flying with LAN - so luxurious and modern. Got to the hostel at half 8 which was too early to check in but they gave us brekkie and got us a room asap. Mixed feelings about the hostel, it's like a run down grand house - ...

New Years Day. I am off for a cruise. Rob and Michelle are stuck in Denver with a snowstorm that has shut down the airport. I don't need to be at the cruise until 4 but I have no paperwork so I show up at 12 to be safe. They have no record of any of us. I call Rob from a call center outside the terminal to get the confirmation number and suite n...

Friday Up late we head out in the heat (about 29 degrees), the city is bustling and a marked contrast to Antarctica or even Ushuaia! We wander around through a park with lots of heart sculptures decorated differently and then towards the beautiful old train station, Torres de Londres (like a mini Big Ben, but sadly closed to climb up). The archi...

First stop around the world is Argentina. We landed in to the hostel and caused a holy show at the desk. I still to cringe to think, in fairness we were over tired but thats no excuse. A couple of things wernīt what we expected and Claire cried and I gave out to this absolutely lovely and gorgeous Argeninian guy. Anyway We apologised to the staf...
