S: James had hurt his foot some how in Buenos Aires so when we arrived I went in search of a hostel. We had decided that we would splash out and get a private room so James could rest in peace. We had a chilled out day reading and I went and brought food for tea and cooked a vegetarian curry. I'm sure James only said his foot was hurting to get out of cooking lol. Although we did meet a crazy local guy who kept trying to talk to us, even though we couldn't unders...

J: we got to Buenos Aires (which people here call B.A.) used the metro underground system and found a funky hostel at the best price yet in Argentina. As we had slept well we set off in search for some new flip-flops. The girl at the hostel advised that I won't get cheap fake ones in my size but might be lucky enough down the main shopping street. The street was like Oxford street in London, except lots of people offering black market exchanges for the American D...

J: We then bought some supplies and set off on the return journey. We were open to finding hitchhikers along the route to help pay for petrol with us, we soon found a couple, they spoke no English and only wanted to go up the road 30 minutes so we took them and tried to practice our clearly not good enough Spanish with them, they shared their matè tea with us and through charades and a translator app we were able to communicate. Then we saw a desperate looking c...

J: We then continued our journey South towards a town El Bolson, we pulled off the main road and stopped in a random spot that looked like the start of an open quarry, it was quite there though so it was fine. It was an uncomfortable night for all of us in the car but at least we had sleeping bags to keep warm unlike the lads. S: we had a quick breakfast and repacked the car and set off towards El Bolson. We had to go round a diversion and all of a sudden we ha...
