I'M IN SALTA, northern Argentina, which means... JUMP! THE RETURN OF TRAVEL TOP TRUMPS - THE SOUTH AMERICA EDITION... Buenos Aires - Puerto Iguazu, Door-to-door - 21 hrs, Distance - 1067 Km aprox, Food - 8 (steak dinner!), MP3 player reliability - 0 (disaster), Films - 6, Luxury factor - 7, Sleep quality - 8 (best night's sleep I had had so far in S.Am). So yes indeed buses in South America are something else. I actually felt like I was flying business class! ...

I'M IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA! I know! Can you believe it?! I certainly can't. Already Part 3 of my travels has begun.

Fell in love with it immdiately and still missi...

I had enjoyed my time in NZ immensely, and I felt for the country as a whole. I really hope to return to NZ again someday and spend more time there. THE RETURN TO OZ It was with great excitement that I flew back to Sydney to meet my friend Jonny who I met in Bali. He w...

I'm in New Zealand... just. Well I'll start where I left off last time... The Fellowship of the Campervan was broken... The two Bird Nerds headed north to destroy the ring, go whale-watching and fly to Singapore. I set off south in search of lost hobbits, fjords, mountains and general adventure (e.g. a good night out).
