Well, Well... A day of tranquility and chilling out isn't all too bad, every now and again. Colonia really was worlds away from Buenos Aires. It felt, if anything, like a smaller, more well kept secret, version of Visby. Cobblestone streets, old colonial portuguese houses, cozy wineries with hundreds of bottles. In short: a nice relaxing day. But when I got back to BA and started walking to the hostel I accidentally walk right onto what seemed to be a drum para...

It feels a bit like I'm loosing speed here when it comes to exploration and partying. I arrived quite early to Buenos Aires after a marathon session on a bus, and had checked in and gotten breakfast by 11-12. After that, pretty much all I've done is go to La Boca, a neighborhood famous for two things: 1, being the tango district of BA, and 2, being a working class district (e.g. one of the more dangerous parts of BA). So I talked around a bit, and it seemed to ...

Breakfast for a champ! This is certainly one way I didn't expect to spend a birthday 4-5 years ago: on a bus, alone, in South America. The kicker in it? I'm actually immensely happy about it and really like it. To be honest, it's not that different from last years birthday-breakfast, hangover pizza in some to this day unknown suburb of Stockholm. But life on the road/in the air ain't that bad either. Working my best on sticking onto the last money I've got, ma...

Ugh, Chile does give kind of a strange vibe straight away. Any country where a Big Mac is around 3000 of the local currency, you know there is something wrong with. Everything seems a little s***tier, a little more run down, a little less safe than Argentina. I definitely won't be staying here long. Tomorrow I take of back to BA again, and I was hoping to get a full cama on the bus, since it is 20 hours, and only 50 peso more. Of course they are all sold out, so...

The mountain hiding in the background is... Aconcagua! Highest mountain in the Americas. Unfortunately that is about as close as we got, since during winter the park is officially closed (meaning that if you go in, you're on your own). During summer, november-march, they've got people working there, like doctors that do exams and make sure you don't die due to the altitude up there. There are three base-camps, each with a doctor that needs to approve of you cont...
