ola from santiago, chile. we kinda completely changed our plans in a matter of 15 minutes and decided to not chance the roads in bolivia, but instead, travel 3000 kilometers back in the other direction for chile. We spent 18 hours on a NON airconditioned bus to go back to Buenos Aires for the 4th time. Let me tell you...I do not recommend taking this bus when it is plus 47 degrees with no wind, and everyone else on the bus seems to have a huge issue with personal hygiene. We spent all of 8 hours in Buenos Aires, just long [View Full Entry]

so after recovering from the trauma our bodies went through in carnival, we suffered another 24 hour bus ride, with no air conditioning to Foz de Iguacu. We met Cindy and Johnny at the bus station, because we were both trying to figure out how to get to Bolivia from here, and we have been travelling together ever since. Besides the sketchy hotel with the influx of single old men and the filling up of random buses out the back with cargo..this place is amazing We spent yesterday on the Brazil side of the falls, and today trekking throught the Argentinian [View Full Entry]

okay so we haven't exactly got a posting on here for a week, but we haven't really done much of any other errands here, we have just been too busy. I am currently very sick, with a whisper of a voice left and a cough that sounds very similar to TB. As well, I have started my malaria medication, which seems to make everything "float", i am starting to feel like a bit of a skitzo. Regardless, i now have time to update you on the best week i have ever had. we arrived in Rio De Janeiro last Thursday (3rd) [View Full Entry]

Well, we arrived in Florianopolis finally on Saturday without sleeping in an actual bed since Wednesday night. We '´accidentally´' stayed out all night Thursday night, walked home along the beach at 830 in the morning, red bull still in hand, and packed up our bags to check out of the hotel. We then became true bums, we slept on the beach until it was too hot, then we showered and changed clothes at a little outside shower right along the edge of the busy highway. (and you think we can~t rough it?) We waited quite impatiently for the bus to arrive [View Full Entry]

we are in the land of heaven for 4 days. everything is SERIOUSLY right next door to each other.. beach, casino, hotel, mall and shopping, cinema, and then beach again on the other side. somewhere inbetween, we have also managed to find more mcdonalds icecream. this place is awesome, but not cheap, its like rodeo drive stuck between 2 white sandy beached. except the stores are open till 1 am. we might be coming home next week if that fendi bag makes its way to my room. and BOY there are some tanned, okay wait, really burnt and distustingly leather like [View Full Entry]

We have been in Montevideo for 4 days, and absolutely love it here, it has that small town feel, but still in a big city. The best part has been how cheap it is here, we are staying in a real hotel with cable tv for 10 dollars a night. we have to share a bed, but hey, we are almost the same person by now. We have spent our time here acting like real girls...shopping, market shopping, eating, drinking, spending the afternoon at the spa, and best of all, adding to our existing burns at the beach. They have a [View Full Entry]

Today was one of the most amazing times we have ever had. We took a tour to the glacier today, and it was absolutely amazing. It is like the size of Isreal, and is constantly moving, so we got to see lots of big chunks falling off. We also did a trek and a boat ride. And amazingly it is not that cold, even though we are almost at the end of the world. El Calafate, on the other hand, is a bit of a mystery...i'll leave the dorm room stories for another time, lets just say we have switched rooms... [View Full Entry]

So, we are pleased to say, we finally made it to the beach!! The tide is really low here, and so it takes a while to get to the water from the beach, so its a good thing there was an outside shower near us because it is soooo hot (just to rub it in)I have a beautiful beat red farmers tan that i tried to even out at the beach, but i am starting to get a bit of a striped effect along my arms... today we took a painfully long bus trip to see the dolphins..but it was too [View Full Entry]
