Bariloche was bigger than we had anticipated, both of us had been expecting a small skiing village similiar to one you would be find in the french alps...but sadly being the biggest ski resort in Argentina it wasn't to be, the town has clearly grown on the back of tourism here. We were in need of spending a few nights somewhere though and this was it, so we caught up on sleep and sorted ourselves out for a few days. We did manage to get in some sight seeing thou...

Another contender for one of my top ten days in the whole year, there just seems to be so many great days lately. The scenery in South America is by far the most stunning and diverse. El Calafate is all about glaciers, which is what we came to see. At this time of the year there is a lot of snow and ice around so it is only possible to get to Perito Moreno glacier, not the biggest in the area but the most famous, I guess just because it is the most accesable to ...

So here I am at the southern most city in the world, Ushuaia. I am at the end of the world, with antarctica only 1000km south.

So Ushuaia, it's cold and there is snow on the ground, I'm really wishing I had a proper winter coat. I have invested in a hat, snood and g...

It just keeps getting better and better. Argentina is full of surprises!! I'm not sure that we are ever going to leave, Literally 5 mins after arriving in Puerto Madryn, I was screaming hyserically and slapping Sharon on the arm. I had seen a whale tail emerge from the sea and we hadn't even made it to the beach front yet. It's hard to believe whilst you are here that the southern right whales are an endangered species as everywhere you look there seems to be a g...

I wish I could be more positive about Buenos Aires, whilst it was ok, it wasn't what I had built it up to be. To be fair it probably just highlights what I already know about myself, I'm not really a city chick and still prefer smaller towns. Which is probably why I have lived in Bournemouth for so long and can't tear myself away!! We spent just over a week here though and I will do my best to summarise and concentrate on the highlights.... 4 days of Spanish l...
