I have really liked Buenos Aires, it has been my favourite capital city so far. I arrived thinking, 'I don't want to be in a big city' but have really enjoyed my time here. First afternoon, I headed up to the Brazil embassy with some others to sort out my visa but we were a little too late. After putting some much needed laundry in, wandered down to an area called San Telmo where there was a 2nd hand english bookstore. With my luck of the day, it was also closed....

It was good to reach Buenos Aires this afternoon after the storm we survived last night camping. We left Puerto Madryn at 7am after seeing the most spectacular sunrise as our group cooked breakfast. The colours were amazing and I don't think I have ever seen anything like it before. We had over 12hrs on the truck, reaching our campsite about 7.30pm. Quickly put up my tent with Nikki before heading over to start cooking. They had decided not to put the cook tent u...

It is the only glacier in the world to still be advancing. Most glaciers are melting while this one doesn't. It was explained to us that because the Andes are getting lower in elev...

We left Pucon, ready for a long drive thru some beautiful scenery but also a border crossing back into Argentina. We had been warned that the officials at this particular crossing could be difficult and they were right. After waiting in the truck for about 40 mins while Ross and Euan had discussions with them we were finally allowed into the office but only in the order of the passenger list they had been supplied with. Someone was obviously bored.... Finally al...
