On Thurs night we decided to book a tour through the hostel to go wine tasting. We wanted to go ourselves but then decided against it because we thought it might not be quite the same as it was in Australia, plus there would be the small language issue! On Fri morning at 9am we were picked up in a small mini-bus. There were about 15 of us in the group but everyone was of different ages and nationalities. The only other English person was a cockney bloke, probabl...

La Paz-Mendoza (via many unknown places!) Argentina part 2! We have returned to Argentina where we first started, however the computer has put all of our first entries (from Buenos Aires, and Iguassu) along with this one. Careful you don´t get confused! x x x After escaping Carlos in the restaurant in La Paz, we shot off to the bus station and bought a ticket for the same night to Mendoza. 38 hours we were told. We went with a company called ¨Panamer...

The food was disgusting, i cant even begin to explain what it was, and the toilet was unbearable, i had to hold my breath for fear of being sick and i dont even want to think about what might have been on the floor...we arrived in Puerto Iguazu tired and probably smelly at 9.30am this morning. Managed to get a bus to the hostel but couldnt check in until 2pm so we had to wait until then before we could g...
