¡Hola! So this is it.I am back in San Jose again for the last time, sitting out the last two days before my return flight back to 'Old Blighty'.When I take off on Monday morning, it will be the first time I have left the 'New World' in fourteen months, marking the end of mine (and Sarah's) Latin American travelling extravaganza, and the end of this blog, incidentally.But things don't stop here; when I take off from London again on the 7th October, after a month...

¡Hola! Hold onto your seats, cos this blog is a rollercoaster ride! So, my last stop in South America was Uruguay, and it was most definitely a quick stop.I took a very unremarkable ferry across the water to Colonia, which was also quite unremarkable.Well, that's unfair; it is a very pretty little place, with sweeping tree-lines boulevards sloping down to the sea, and lots of quaint cobbled streets, bars, cafes and colonial architecture.I'm sure that it is l...

¡Hola! After I left Salta I headed south to the city of Córdoba, Argentina's third largest I think.I had planned to meet up with one of Josh's friends who was living in Córdoba, but unfortunately she was heading out into the countryside for that weekend; so, instead, I headed to a very sociable hostel that had been recommended to me by some other travellers - Hostel Tango.There I met with a whole bunch of wicked people, and we set out straight away into the s...
