The Facebook update says it all - "Kate Robilliard is thoroughly gobsmacked after a wet and wonderful day at Iguazu Falls". The Iguazu Falls lie on the Iguazu river on the border between Brazil and Argentina. Paraguay is also nearby and at one location you can stand in Argentina and spy Brazil and Paraguay across the river. Pretty cool huh!? But its more than that. Nothing can prepare you for the delight of Iguazu. People bandy about figures such as ...

I never thought I'd devote an entire blog entry to a restaurant, but the food was simply devine.... La Cabrera is a bit of an institution in Buenos Aires. Its the kind of place that delivers quality food, but makes you feel welcome, like you're coming home rather than some posh restaurant. The decor is a little kooky or off the wall... but fun!

Though we didn´t have the best...

San Martin and the seven lakes route.... and snow! After catching the bus through the rain from Villa, we were met with a soggy San Martin de los Andes. We had hoped to do some walks in the mountains here, but it didn´t look promising (bitingly cold rain is not the best walking weather). Waiting it out overnight did not result in any improvement.... we woke up to snow! And it turned San Martin into a wonderland! We spent most of our first day waiting it out in...
