So the trip to Cordoba didnt start particurlaly well. The bus was due to leave at 11pm and 10.56pm there was still no sign of the bus on any of the 15 platforms we were told it could be on and there was no information on the screens either. Just as the nerves were starting to kick in the bus did arrive though, stopped for 5 minutes to fill up with passengers and off we went. It was at this point i realised i had left my lonely planet book back in Buenos Aires, tu...

We arrived by boat into Buenos Aires at 7pm and got a taxi to Che Legarto hostel, which is back in the centre of the city. Almost as soon as we arrived the withdrawal symptoms kicked in and we were almost forced to find our way to Ugi's for more pizza. We were pleased to discover that it was not a one off, but a chain across Buenos Aires and we didn`t have to wonder far to settle our stomachs.

Having left Buenos Aires at 10.45pm at night, we arrived in Montevido at around 3.30am. The plan was to get a taxi straight away to the hostel, but Marso had other ideas.

We crossed the Avenida 9 De Julio the worlds widest Avenue (i counted 20 lanes of traffic and went to Millhouse hostel - which we had been told by many was the party hostel. We arrived and went for an explore but to ...

We arrived in Foz Du Iguasu at around 6.50pm, but had missed all of the busses going across the border into Argentina and Puerto Iguasu. We got a taxi for $30 US, which stopped for us to get all of our stamps and also stopped so we could see the view from the bridge where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil all meet. We got to the Mango Tree hostel a little after 7.15pm and were pleased to see it had a pool. We went for a stroll through town and had some food in a caf...
