Hi guys, well i´m really enjoying this trip so far. I went from Brazilian Iguazu to Argentinien Iguazu falls & it was amazing, there are a total of 250 waterfalls & you can get up really close.

I then travelled to Cordoba which is in the middle of Argentina & visited the old town & the oldest Cathedral in Argentina. I the got a bus to Mendoza which is close to Chile border & went on a wine tour as they are famous for Malbec red wine, it was very nice. I spent a few days there & then got the overnight bus to Uruguay, Montevideo which took 30hours because the bus broke down about 1hour away from the border!

After Uruguay i got a fsat boat from Colonial 1hours instead of 10 hours on the bus & went to Buenos Aries where i have been for 1 week. It is a great lively city with things happening day & night A famous cemetry where Evita is Buried
A famous cemetry where Evita is Buried
 . Seen a lot of Tango dancers, Musicians, Artists & of course beggars. Here is seems the norm at night for all families to open up all the garbage from Resturants & go through the rubbish looking for cans,plastic & cardboard to recycle for money. I took a train to a place called Tigre which was nice & did a boat trip. The city seems rich but there are lots of slums & poor homeless people here. The weather has been great & the food is cheap. I visit the Palace, the Colon theatre which is one of the biggest in the world, old Buenos Aries La Boca which has Caminito street where all the houses are bright colours & full of tango shows & artists. Off now back to Chile & heading north to Bolivia.

Take care, luv always Jo.
