When you get off a bus at 5:30AM, the last thing you want is your hostel to be closed until 7AM. Waiting around in the bus station and the same in the hostel, by the time we could check in at 11AM I could hardly keep my eyes open. So we slept until about 3PM […]
Viña del Mar y Valparaiso, Chile
Over charged in a taxi and the worst burger of my life started Viña off well. Walking Tour Made our way to Valparaiso on a local bus with a driver that thought we were on the converted streets of Monaco for the F1. We were not, but we sure got there quick! We took corners […]
Humming Bird, Santiago, Chile
Standing in the Zoo looking at El Oso (the bear) and a humming bird came along. At first attempt I thought I had missed the moment being slow on the draw with my camera but on the second attempt I caught it drinking nectar from a plant. My camera isn’t the best so forgive the […]
Santiago, Chile
After hearing a mixed bag of reviews on Santiago I was looking forward to seeing how I felt about the city. In the end I actually liked the place but it had it’s major downsides though. The smog in the city had us coughing, eyes itching and throats scratching. When we went high up in […]
Pucón, Chile
So after the drama of the last blog in Bariloche (no show taxi and only just making our bus) we set off towards Chile. We arrived at the border and all off to get stamped out of Argentina, then drove for around 30 mins in no-mans-land through the mountains to the Chilean border. All the […]
Bariloche – Take 2, Argentina
So after another 28 hour bus we arrived back in Bariloche at about 9PM. Very tired and very frustrated we just wanted to get to the hostel and bed. Arrive at hostel to find out we are 2 blocks away down a huge hill, thinking we were off to a sister hostel we set off […]
El Calafate, Argentina
Very relaxed and chilled out little town full of hiking shops, ice creams and tourist agencies. Quite a small town with pretty much everything in town within the space of 9 blocks. After arriving in the middle of the day for a change we decided to walk to our hostel. Great little hostel, best we […]
Bariloche, Argentina
Arrived in Bariloche around 5PM on Good Friday. Noticeably colder now but a walk down to the lake shows we are up in the mountains. A huge stage was set up in the middle of town with a band playing random U2 songs and market stalls surrounding it selling handmade crafts and BBQ’ing food. We […]
Mendoza, Argentina
Another thrilling night bus later and we were in Mendoza. We were fed one ‘Alfajores’ cake at 7:30AM on the bus, from then until 4:30PM when we arrived in Mendoza we got nothing else! Feeling rather hungry after a taxi to the hostel we set about McDonalds. It was Sunday, everything closed as usual, McDonalds […]
Salta, Argentina
After our 27 hour bus from Puerto Iguazu, that was as close as I ever want to get to hell, we were absolutely shattered. We were only supposed to change bus once, so when we got turfed off for a second time we were starting to think if we would get to Salta at all. […]
