Eating and Travelling

July 6, 2014 by Jack Leave a Comment

Sometimes while you are travelling there are days where you eat the most amazing food you can imagine. I’m talking Thai green curry off the streets of Chiang Mai or a Bife de Chorizo in an Argentinian Parrilla. You could even be tucking into a Full English breakfast or a Sunday Roast in my home […]

La Bomba de Tiempo

July 3, 2014 by Jack 1 Comment

Recommended by pretty much everyone including the guide books yet it still didn’t disappoint. Normally when a lot of people big something up to you it can sometimes turn out to be a little dull or not live up to your expectations. La Bomba however was exactly what I was expecting.

Montevideo, Uruguay

July 2, 2014 by Jack Leave a Comment

Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay

June 15, 2014 by Jack Leave a Comment

After a boat journey from hell we got off to beautiful weather in Colonia. It wasn’t just raining, it was hammering it down. Luckily the hostel was a short 3 blocks walk from the port. It didn’t really stop raining for 3 days straight but mixed it up a little with plenty of thunder and […]

Buenos Aires, Argentina

June 15, 2014 by Jack Leave a Comment

So with the borders being closed to go by bus we decided to bite the proverbial bullet and fly. Sat next to a guy that was flying for the first time in his life, he was easily over 40 and asked me to collect all of the sick bags for him just in case. He […]

Iquique, Chile

June 9, 2014 by Jack Leave a Comment

Iquique is a very strange but beautiful city. It is pinned to the coast by some huge mountains that provide a beautiful backdrop. The coast sweeps round full of pelicans and sea lions basking in the sun. A great beach with some huge waves hogged by many people practicing their surfing. There really isn’t that […]
