After a late night at the footie we were all feeling abit tired but no rest for the wicked as we were up around 7.30am to take our bags over to our new hostel, The Millhouse, before catching the 9.30am ferry to Uruguay. Ash and I have always been very excited about getting a new stamp in our passport each time we enter a new country and this time Shez was in on the action. After dropping our bags we headed to the ferry terminal where we checked in and boarded smo...

Compared to our luxurious bus ride from BA to Iguazu, our trip to Florionapolis was horrendous. We crossed the border very smoothly indeed after deciding to take a taxi to Brazil, rather than 3 buses in the boiling sun, and chilled in the bus station for an hour and a half; the calm before the storm.

We then made sure we knew how we would get to the falls the following day before enjoying the happy hour at the hostel and catching up with Casper, a guy we had met i...

Our Sunday got off to a great start (well for me anyway, maybe not for Ash and Shez!) as we headed off in the sunshine to San Telmo market. Along the cobbled streets amongst the beautiful old buildings were lots and lots of diffierent stalls selling everything from paintings to shoes to gifts. My idea of heaven on a Sunday morning! We enjoyed wandering amonsgt the atmospheric streets and tasting some more of Argentinas empanadas empanadas before heading back to t...
