20 hours on the overnight bus to Bariloche wasn't quite as bad as it sounds.. three meals provided, a few movies to watch and comfortable, almost fully reclining seats made it a lot more tolerable. The foreign fella sat across the aisle from me who couldn't speak a word of English, attempted to steal my full bottle of Havana Gold so that livened things up a little. Cheeky........! Midway through the morning, dozing in and out of consciousness with the first sign...

It felt a little strange setting off from Foz do Iguacu on a half empty truck now that 6 of our group had transferred to another one but the extra room was welcome for what would be the last leg of our tour from Rio to Buenos Aires. With a huge amount of ground to cover it meant we would have two full days on the road to Buenos Aires with a dreaded bush camp inbetween.

It was early Wednesday morning and I had a shocker of a sleep at the wild camp near the city of Campo Grande. I decided to brave the disgusting restrooms and grab a much needed shower avoiding eye contact with the Brazilian chap sat on the toilet doing his business in the doorless cubicles. My team cooked a big breakfast for the camp, a mini meltdown followed from myself when packing my tent away.. hate the thing! It was insanely hot too so the shower prior was...
