We arrived in BA after a 15 hour bus trip. We caught the train to the Palermo area. This is where we stayed for our first night. It's the boutique area of BA and is great for shopping and bars. There was dog poo everywhere on the ground though. Which we soon learned is quite common in BA. There are many dog walkers and often you see 1 guy with about 10 dogs of all shapes and sizes. At night we got recommended this local restaurant close to the hostel and it t...

It was time to move onto Mendoza and we knew it was about 20hrs $100USD bus trip so hitching again was on our cards. We had 850KMS to go. We caught the local bus to what we thought was the Ruta 40 but after an hour I was a bit concerned as we hadn't seen many trucks so we went to the bus station to check and we were not really on the right track. So knowing we had wasted so much time we just thought let’s get a bus a few hours north for today and try ag...

Bariloche is a ski village in the winter but, in the summer it's also very popular for the beautiful surrounding lakes and snow capped mountains.

We picked one of the many hostels on Salta Street to stay at, Punto sur. They only had a double...

After watching the sunset and the kids playing football it was time to freshen up for dinner. Got to dinner at about 10pm which is early for over here and got a Parrilla (BBQ meat) with eveyth...

We packed up and left Puerto Madryn early. First we got a cheap local bus to a small town which was close to Route 40 which was the main road to get across the country. From this town we had to catch one more bus about half hour down the Route 40 to Gaiman an old Welsh settlement. Thought there would be a bit more at this town but there was nothing. So we waited by the road for about half an hour until a guy picked us up. Pedro took us 20km down the road to what ...
