Day 38: Uruguay - Buenos Aires - Brazil! A bit of a non-day where a brief time sightseeing was sandwiched between travelling. Our SeaCat back to BA was at 9:30am and after our super easy check in on the way over, we were a little stunned by the lengthy, slow moving queue that we joined when we reached the ferry terminal. Eventually on the ferry, and a short return journey, this time in the day light we could take in the skyline of BA as we approached. Which was...

Day 37: Chilling in Colonia Our agenda for Uruguay: chill. And that's exactly what we did. Comotose until 10:30, pottering around making breakfast and slowly waking up to the day, it was early afternoon before we left the hostel. And to be honest, we didn't do a whole lot... we strolled through the gorgeous little town, admiring the unusual colour of the river and the quaintness of the town that was all of a sudden alive with daytrippers, who obviously don't h...

That morning, despite a very late night/ early morning, I ...

Day 34: Buenos Aires For the fourth time on this trip, I woke up on a bus. Approaching Santiago now the landscape out the window had transformed from dry, sandy desert to lush, green hillsides. For the craic, one hour from our destination, our bus broke down. So, after a relatively short wait(what's 40 mins between friends) on the motorway, with our quirky bus attendant kindly offering us extra cookies and juice, we boarded another bus for the short hour drive i...
