Live vanuit Argentinië, zijn hier Sander en Remco Om maar meteen met de deur in huis te vallen, als je ooit in Argentinië met de bus gaat reizen doe dat in een Super Cama bus. De vorige keer dat wij op onze blog schreven zaten we vast in Buenos Aires omdat er te veel rook en vuur was om onze reis naar het noorden te starten. Uiteindelijk hebben we een dag later toch deze nachtelijke tour gemaakt en het was totaal niet vervelend. In de Super Cama bussen serveert men niet alleen avondeten maar krijg je er ook nog wijn bij te drinken en niet te zuinig ook. Voor het slapen gaan was er daar de keus uit een goede champagne of een heerlijke Whisky. Slapen doe je in deze bussen niet rechtop maar in een ... read more

There is something extremely unnatural about leaving somewhere at 5pm on a Wednesday, flying for eleven and a half hours, getting a dodgy taxi (driven by a 90 year old man) and somehow managing to arrive at your final destination a few hours earlier on that same Wednesday. As a result, we were all a little jet lagged for our first few days in South America, and our body clocks were not helped by the fact that our room in Santiago had the most comfortable beds in the world, and dark shutters that block out any form of daylight. As a result, we haven't seen much before 2pm.... Not that there's that much to see, I'm afraid. Santiago will not be leaving a last impression on my soul - it's a big, smoggy city, with almost ... read more

Day 136: Wanderings in Cordoba Sorry, but this entry starts with a moan..... *whinge start*: Having left Hostal Obelisco this morning, we headed to the airport early. This was not only to ensure that we caught our flight on time, but was also meant to enable me to speak to an airline allied to British Airways to see if I could change my flight from Santiago to Caracas, to an alternative route. What with the political situation in Venezuela at the moment (they're not getting on so well with Columbia), and reports from people I've met who've travelled there that they'd had one or two problems, I've been having second thoughts, particularly about Caracas, which just sounds a bit too dangerous to be considered fun. Anyway I've been trying to call the nice people at the ... read more

M: So, it´s been a while since we have written... this may be a long one! After Uruguay, we went to Iguazu to see the incredible waterfalls. Iguazu is where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet, and so I thought it would be really interesting to try to see a bit of Paraguay - no one ever seems to go to Paraguay, it gets left out of the South America tour... so we thought we would give it a chance.... we lasted one day! We took a horrible bus (our first experience of long bus journeys here and we obviously picked a really bad bus company which left two hours late and sat us right next to a noisy air conditioning unit) to the border of Paraguay and crossed through. The difference between the border towns in ... read more

A 12-hour bus journey took me from Mendoza to Cordoba, which lies pretty much in the centre of Argentina. It was a long journey with just one 10-minute stop along the way and only Argentinian country music for entertainment. There was some strange stuff indeed; such as a song all about cows with a video showing milking, cheese-making etc. The farming theme continued outside the windows too as we passed hour after hour of sunflower fields and farms before finally reaching urban Cordoba in time for some heavy evening rain. My hostel this time was an Israeli-run, 2nd floor flat in the city centre that had a bar on the roof. It was a decent place in a good location and the roof was good for events like the asado (bbq) on the Saturday night. It ... read more

hi, how you guys? i am still alive (: ... i spent the last couple of weeks in Cordoba, Mendoza (and around them - started seeing a little of Arentina's beautiful nature) and came back to BsAs this weekend. tomorrow it will be my 1 year out of the army and half a year away from home, and to celebrate it i am flying to Ushuaia - the southernmost city in Argentina. I spent a week in the Cordoba area. I couchsurfed with a woman that works for the tourism office, and she was really friendly and cool (although half of the week we kept missing each other...), and knew where all of the necessities around were. Cordoba is a really cool city, much easier to live in, more laid back and cheaper than BsAs, and ... read more
