Being so close to Uruguay, we couldn't resist having a look at the place. We had a major panic in the taxi to the ferry port. I had bought the tickets and knew we had to be there an hour before, but for some reason, I thought the ferry departed at 2.30 instead of 1.40pm. We arrived at the port at 1.25pm and genuinely thought we'd be refused entry due to border control and baggage checks taking time. It even stated on the ticket to arrive an hour before to check i...

Rosario is a small town, populated mainly by students. We headed towards the flag monument where the first flag of Argentina was raised. There were marbles statues stood in shall water, an eternal flame flickering behind columns and a large tower. We had a look around and took some pictures before heading to other sights. An art house was closed so we wandered around the docks and by the brown river. Rosario was the town where Che Guevara lived for the first year...

Others around us were celebrating bir...

Simon was happy when he found a Subway for lunch! A large plaza, which resembled more of a park, was situated at the top of the high street. A few hippies sold their goods and people relaxed eating lunch in the sun. We were cooled down by the spray of fountain water which ...

Driving to Santiago was one of the best bus journeys we have taken. We passed stunning lakes and snow capped mountains before winding through ski-resorts. The Andes were beautiful! Although the snow was melting they were still covered in a white sheet. One part of the road was a constant zigzag and we whizzed around thirty corners. At times we were convinced that we'd crash as our large bus tried to turn every corner a little too fast. During this ride we had to ...
