From Uruguay to Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls. All within twelve hours. That's speed travelling right there! Justine and I ventured from Colonia in Uruguay by boat to Buenos Aires. We heard it was the best way to travel, time effective and a nice change from the bus. Everyone boarded the vessel and off we went. About ten minutes in to the journey, something was amiss. The ferry came to a complete stop. The waves started to turn us back to the port we had just di...

Punta del Diablo. A beautiful fishing town where not much happens... Admittedly, we arrived a week after the busy season. So bars and restaurants weren't staying open so late. And shops were closed. We spent four nights in this beach town and we easily joined in with everyone else at the hostel and the routine they had created... It went like this... Sleep 3am - 9am Swim 9am - 9.30am Breakfast 9.30 - 11am Laze around the hostel 11 - 2pm Lunch 2pm Beach 2...

Everyone that we had met on our travels so far said that Montevideo was just a city and didn't have a lot to offer. Well. I would like to disagree. We had a fantastic time in Montevideo.

A beach town 4 hours away. Our hostel was a bit unusual. The guys running it appeared...

Tacuarembo! By the time we actually arrived, it had been about 30 hours travelling by bus. But it was totally worth it. We were picked up from the bus stop in a large ute with two others. A French girl who has been living in South America for around two years. And a Canadian bloke who is travelling much like us. We got to the farm late Tuesday. Had a chance to get shown around and learn some of the house rules. Electricity is available between 8-10.30pm. Toil...

At this very moment, Justine and I are on a 19 hour bus journey from Florianopolis to Montevideo, Uruguay. Once there we will head north to a gaucho property. Will be a lot of driving the next 24 hours. That being said - the buses are pretty comfortable for the longer journeys. Then again... The couple in front of us just put their chairs back and are practically on our laps. I think that means we are the big spoons... We got to Florianopolis on Friday the 12th....
