Hola Leute! Seit langem lasse ich auch endlich mal wieder was von mir hören! Ich weiß, dass es ein wenig gedauert hat, aber ich habe einfach so wenig gemacht, dass es sich nicht gelohnt hat, wieder was nettes zu schreiben. Meine letzten Wochen bestanden nämlich hauptsächlich aus lernen, da ich drei Klausuren geschrieben habe, und die Wochenenden habe ich immer für schöne Dinge wie Partys, Kino, gemütlich Bier trinken und so weiter genutzt. Also nicht wirklich spannend das ganze. Ich war aber auch sehr selbsdiszipliniert und gehe doch tatsächlich 2-3 mal die woche joggen (meistens 3 mal, außer [View Full Entry]

Hi all, Well we left Puerto Iguazu on Friday evening and got on our 12 hour night bus to Concordia/Salto in Uruguay. The bus decided to drop us off way outside the Argentinian town of Concordia rather than cross the border to Salto (although that is aparently the normal regime). It actually left us in the middle of a dusty crossroads at 6am with nothing and no-one around except the few Germans that got off the bus with us and the dodgy looking pickup trucks on the roadside. The Germans grabbed the only taxi at the crossroads so we had to [View Full Entry]

After an early morning jog, oh yes you heard it here folks, there was just time to grab some breakfast and have a stroll round the shops. In one particular shop my eyes light up. For there, in front of me is a pair of Havaianas, their standard Brazilian flag has been replaced with an Argentinian flag - these are quite unique and I snap them up. I'm a little ashamed of my purchase though and the ease in which I bought them as Tor is the flip-flop queen and has yet to find a pair she likes. So shhhhh! In [View Full Entry]

Once we exchange some of our left over Brazilian Reales for Uruguyan pesos we grab a taxi to the hotel and check in to Hotel Los Cedros. Nothing remarkable or otherwise to report about this hotel which probably means it was fine. Having had some lunch we grabbed the bus over to the natural spas. Salto is blessed by being located on a thin crust and therefore has geothermal heated water spouting from it. We actually got of the bus a little early and ended up walking the rest of the way there (note: the spas are where the road hits [View Full Entry]

Hvorfor regner det altid, naar jeg er paa ferie...? Ha ha. Jeg befinder mig i skrivende stund i Salto i Uruguay. Salto er den by, der ligger allertaettest paa Uruguays nordligst beliggende graenseovergang til Argentina. Den krydsede vores tropper tidligt i morges... Jeg er stadig ikke helt vaagen. Vores sidste dag i Brasilien i gaar brugte vi paa at besoege den brasilienske side af Iguazu-vandfaldende. Det var ogsaa overdaadigt og ufatteligt smukt, men man kan jo kun tage saa og saa mange billeder, og jeg foelte mig maettet af faldenes skoenhed, selvom den brasilienske side giver et utr [View Full Entry]

Derniers moments qui furent très relax à Colonia... Nous sommes revenus de Montevideo le lundi 3 en soirée, et n'avons rien fait d'autre de spécial que de relaxer tout mardi... Le temps était lourd et gris, ca sentait les orages!... Nous avions prévu partir de Colonia mercredi 6h am, mais un gros orage nous a découragé (de nous rendre à pied jusqu'au terminal!). Nous sommes donc partis a 14h30, vers le nord et vers la frontière avec l'Argentine... Salto, précisément. Une route de 8 heures, pas très confo, pas les supers paysages (principalement des champs de vaches), mais il fallait s [View Full Entry]

From Paraguay we decided to shoot straight across to Uruguay. We had already been to Argentina and only had 3 weeks before we had to be in Rio for the start of the Dragoman tour. Leaving Asunción in the morning, we took a posh double decker bus which soon crossed into Argentina. Our stuff got x-rayed at the border and we had two very long customs stops. The long straight roads on the open and flat landscape took us comfortably to Resistencia, arriving early evening. Here we found a night bus going to Concordia at 9 pm. The 3 hour wait [View Full Entry]

After Iguazu Falls from the Brasilian side, we then hopped over the border back into Argentina again to catch another overnight bus from Puerto Iguazu to take us to Uruguay. This bus was even nicer than the last 15hr one - they even provided food and a glass of vino! We watched a couple of videos (and I pity the spanish speakers trying to follow the subtitles to Hot Fuzz which just did not translate) and had a fair sleep. Trouble was that the bus was so hot and we couldn't open any windows - it was so hot that the [View Full Entry]

Da vi kom frem til Salto litt slitne etter en lang tur bestemte vi oss for aa dra til en vannpark sammen med danskene og Kate. Da vi skulle pakke sekken oppdaget Hanna til sin forskrekkelse at bikinien var borte. Men takket vaere en snill taxisjaafor, som viste hvor man kunne faa kjopt en bikini midt i siestaen, saa gikk det bra alikevel. Vannparken var ganske liten men veldig koselig. Vi hadde en deilig dag der med vannmassasjesenger, bolgebasseng og sol. Paa kvelden dro vi til Thermal Baths som er naturlige oppvarmede kilder hvor man rett og slett bare drar [View Full Entry]
