After a steady 21 hours on a bus we arrived in Rio De Janeiro on the 12th August 2008. It had been a long one but we were all ready for some beach action. The weather was awesome and after a taxi to our hostel we were down at the Copacobana in minutes! Cooking. Copacabana beach is awesome but we were told that Ipanema had an even better beach. We were happy frying however hunger called. Now it´s somewhat expensive in Rio in general so in order to watch the penni...

Monday 3rd August 2008 and we were in our final destination for Argentina. After a 15 hour punishment in first class we arrived around mid day somewhat refreshed. The sun was shining and a pool awaited us at our hostel - Iguazu Hostel Inn. After a quick taxi ride we turned up at what many have described as the best hostel is SA. It looked good.

After checking in went for some lunch. The weather was more than cloudy but we headed down to a li...

Thursday 24th July and we had landed in Buenos Aires. For all the stories and good things we had heard we couldn't wait to see what it was packing. We jumped into our taxi and headed off to hostel Sudamerika. We had our own private room and whilst it was more than basic we at least had a TV. It had been a while. We dumped our gear, showered up and headed off for what we usually go out for. A steak. It makes sense. Recharged we headed into the town centre (or as w...
