Hola chicos! I must first apologise to everyone that this blog has not been updated in quite some time. I could say that the rush and stress of travel has been the reason for the gap but that would just be very dishonest as the real reason is that i am just a chronic procrastinator... Soooooooo what have I been up to the last couple of weeks? Week 3 We spent the last few days of the 3rd week of the trip finishing our spanish course at the language school in Bariloche. To celebrate the end, we went for a night out with the other students including the english lads. We decided to try our luck out with the local chicas. We generated plenty of interest, especially a guy called Johnny, who became a self-proclaimed sex ... read more

Hello all! I hope you are all well no matter what country you are in. You are all in my thoughts :) So I am writing this latest entry while sitting in Konrad Bailey´s house looking out into the beautiful Nahuel Huapi Lake, in San Carlos de Bariloche.

It was a 20 hour bus journey to see a waterfall that is twice as wide as Niagra falls... it was of course Igazu Falls on the Argentine-Brazilian border.

Hello all. First must say thankyou to Lotte for an interesting blog entry from STOP Hostel, Iguazu. Cheers!

Well the first leg of the trip was spent in the Argentine Capital: Buenos "Fucking" Aires!! The journey started in Manchester where we flew to Paris and connected to Buenos Aires airport. The epic long haul flight was very uncomfortable and so sleep wasnt an option. In BA we spent a few days staying with Conrad´s cousin, and model Chelsea. Chelsea knows BA pretty well after living here for over a year and so after arriving sweat and underslept on her doorstep we ... read more

GUEST STORY PROVIDED BY - Lotte Lene Hi there! We're sitting here in the STOP hostel, that never stops. Drinking some nice red wine, at least me and my friend are drinking some good mendoza wine. Alex drinks warm white wine, but i gave him some of our nice and tasty mendoza clasico, because I think he's really nice and he is my roomie! ANd I have to make up for turning on the light at 6 o'clock in the morning. We went to the waterfalls today with a big hangover, after partying in this vibrant city! The waterfalls were absolutly amazing!! We did the boattrip and got totaly soaked but that was no problem because it was warm today, like every day...Muhahahhaha! Tonight we just gonna drink some juice in the hood, chilling with some ... read more
