Got the ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia the got on a bus to Montevideo, first and last impressions are.........not amazing just a very built up city streets are dirty and its so so humid, the hostel we stayed in was furnished like it was from the 50's with no air con just a fan. Can't complain too much as it didn't cost very much but still, not amazed. First day we arrived we didn't bring any Uruguayan Pesos with us this turned out to be a mistake as no ATM ma...

The full cama bus was amazing basically a bed on a bus with an attendant going around serving dinner and breakfast and snacks and drinks, also got to watch 3 films in english, it was a very comfortable experience.

The first day we got there we visited the San Telmo Sunday market. Where people...

We eventually found it and had dinner and planned our trek for the next day. The next day we trekked up to the mirador Rio azul which overlooked all of el bolson and the surrounding mountains, and t...

Bariloche is a fairly busy town just inside the Argentinachile boarder, we took a 9 hour bus ride to get there from pucon, we look the long way apparently! When we got to our hostel we unpacked and met a very forward elderly German lady who really didn't mind taking her clothes off in front of anyone especially Ben who was subjected to this on numerous occasions without warning good times. The next day we went out trying to find the blue market to exchange our ...
