So next morning i got up and decided id save some cash for Buneos Aires and as paraguy was not spectacular unles you heded north to the jungle i decided to skip the expense of just going for another passport stamp...lol, again it was up for a great brekkie and then i decided as it was so hot to do some hand washing and save a few pesos. So i did that and then hung out by the wonderful hostelpool chatting to the dutch girl mieke before she headed off in the afternoon for a bus to Buneos Aires (14 hours [View Full Entry]

So after i left off on my last blog, basically i was not all that happy with the hostel and the were not many people around and those who were kept to themselves and i did try striking up conversations, i suppose its one of those things sometimes with traveling solo, but in the end a nice Argentine guy who lives in germany now and was back in Argentina on holiday started talking to me and gave me some of his beer. The next morning was bright an early start of 5.45 am and i had mango for brekkie which was [View Full Entry]

So lat night i had the wonderfully delightful mushrom pasta in a bag and what a treat.....lol, i found out my dorm room was full of spanish girls so no dorm chat with my roomies which sucks, so i headed to bed to listen to my ipod and then catch some ZZZZs and prior to that i couldnt get the hostel i wanted in Izagu falls and so i plumped for the only hostel that had the three nights i needed. I was up bright and early this morning and grabbed breakie and chatted to some irish girls about Buneos Aires [View Full Entry]

So today was the day we headed to Perito Moreno Glacier and try not to crash the rental car, it was decided yesterday that it would be easier to rent a car between me soren,kjell and aisia and Soren nominated himself as nominated driver. If the car was crashed fault or not it would be 4000 pesos and if it was rolled 8000 pesos, so i really hoped nothing would happen as paying a share of the crash excess would seriously dent my travel budget and mean me missing a place or country out. So the plan was to get up [View Full Entry]
