Hola, We survived another coach trip, this time to Puerto Madryn which is a coastal town on the way to deepest Patagonia on the East coast of Argentina. There isn´t really much to do except a 400km wildlife extravaganza tour of Peninsula Valdes, which is an hours drive away from Puerto Madryn. We are staying in Hostel Teuly which is a family run hostel with really nice rooms, especially the showers, the family have put our Spanish to the test and we have fa...

Hola again, Sorry for the long delay between blog entries but we`ve been living up the city life for a week and haven`t had the chance to update you. We have been in Buenos Aires since last Monday and are leaving today. A week in the city - well a lot can happen in BA! The first day we arrive all we want to do is sleep following another huge bus journey (which are not getting any easier at all), but feel we must have a quick look around the central part of the ...

Hola, We got over the border two days ago after staying for two nights at the Brazillian side of the falls (Foz do Iguacu).

Copocabana has been as good as you would expect, sun sea and beautiful people. Unfortunately it has been raining since yesterday so we were in our apartment for most of the day. There was a mix up at the hostel we were meant to be staying in (they had over booked) but they organised us an apartmen...

Hey guys!! Yes we actually made it and the 14 hr flight wasn´t that bad! The climate takes some getting used to as it peaks to 34degrees most days and has very little wind! We arrived at our hostel in Botofogo after a very adventurous taxi drive and was greeted by some very cool staff at El Misti Hostel. We quickly wanted to get to the beaches of Copocobana and Ipanema and wow they actually do look like all the postcards! And the pretty boys are all so so go...
