Mendoza is a wine town with a large party scene and restaurant vibe. You dont often sleep when it is dark and you dont eat before 10pm unless you cook yourself. The best thing about Argentina is the BBQ Culture you can go to the local butcher and pick up huge amazing quality http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-786661.html Thursday 2 May to Tuesday 7 MayChecked back in at The Chill House in Buenos Aries BA straight from the ferry.All the previous gang had moved on heading for pastures new with their travels or back home. So it was time to meet a new gang. On reflection it does feel strange how you develop these friendships with people so quickly start to get a sense of community with them and then you or they l http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-786376.html Wednesday 24 April to Tuesday 30 April Buenos AiresRefreshed after a good sleep my full Buenos Aires experience begins.After my first day in the city next stop was Recoleta to see some of the cities major tourist attractions and landmarks. Heading north I passed through parks containing historical monuments and pieces of contemporary public art before reaching a bridge over one of the main ar http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-784583.html Well here it folks I have officially fallen further behind on this blog than I have on the little amount of homework I constantly neglectJ I have two really awesome trips to write about so I figure I can make this entry a daily double and talk about them both The first happened 2 weekends ago when everyone from my API study abroad group traveled to Buenos Aires for the weekend The second wa http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-783963.html From Iguazu it was a 19 hour overnight bus ride to Buenos Aires. I had a fullcama seat which means it reclines about 80 flat. It was quite comfortable and I managed to get some decent sleep on the way.Buenos Aires has a pretty cool vibe about it. It has a good balance of everything lots of sights and activities a good night life and lots of places to eat a good steak. I had a few of those. I http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-782696.html Moving to a new country for a year....and still be on the road the last four months I know some will not understand me. Leslie and Tiffany have no started a new schoold year nearly a month ago and everything is going pretty well. Leslie is improving seriously fast with his castellano Tiffany it39s something else. And as we have been here for long enough everybody feel only normal to speak http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-776570.html Road miles to date 31254We hadn39t actually planned our arrival in Ushuaia and rode about aimlessly hoping we would find somewhere to stay. As has become the norm on this trip a helpful stranger with a liking for bikes appeared in a minibus and told us to follow him. Having learnt that this is usually the way we fall on our feet we followed him through the city to a hostel. Unfortunately t http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-776469.html Our 18 hour bus journey from Puerto Iguazu had bought us to the Argentine capital feeling surprisingly perky and fresh faced. We39d heard a lot of good things about Argentinian buses and our first experience had been a pleasant one. We were in 39cama39 class meaning three spacious seats to a row the chairs reclined almost all horizontal on board entertainment with movies and music vide http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-776166.html We arrived in Buenos Aires on Friday morning 8th March exhausted after the 12.15 hour flight though I now feel as though we cant complain as we have already met travellers that have spent much longer than that on a bus we will be joining them soon. After checking in we went straight out to orientate ourselves walking up to the Plaza de Mayo where the city cathedral and Casa Rosada are locat http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-775470.html The nightbus trip from Cordoba to Buenos Aires exceeded my expectations. Not only did the bus not break down this time but we were presented with possibly the biggest meat cheese and cracker platters I39ve ever seen. No red meat for the rest of the year after Argentina I reckon now. When the bus arrived into Buenos Aires I thought it would be sensible to follow the majority who seemed to be ge http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-775300.html Buenos Aires Street ArtWe find a lot of Street art in Buenos Aires and decided to dedicate a page for it.Free expression on the street is great welldone to the artists http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-775295.html 2002 to 0503 Buenos AiresIncredible architecture massive avenues great street art each quarter has his own little gem Palermo Soho fueled with Tango clubs bars ad restaurant clothes shop San Telmo famous for its Sunday street market and antiques shops La Boca Caminito for the colourful old typical houses and the football stadium Centro for its shopping mall and typical parilla and http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-775249.html What an unforgettable day Que da increbleMitem Auto simmer vor de Huustr zBuenos Aires abgholt worde.

Were getting used to the level of service we receive and the routine of these trips. First we play bus bingo then watch a movie along with wine or coca cola and get our first feed then our second feed with top ups on our drinks then another movie followed by sleepy time which is easy as the seats are very comfy Then we are wok http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-774636.html Well we somehow managed to get all of our shit sorted on our final weekend in Oz and get on the plane with hours to spare. We were driven to the airport by Jo39s dad and it gave us a taste of what to expect with the rides we will get in South America as the usual 1.5 hr drive was done in under an hour...Flight left on time and we can39t fault Aerolineas Argentinas. There was no In Fligh http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-774208.html What a fabulous city We arrived in a first class cama suite bus which is basically like flying first class but on a bus. The seats recline back to 180deg we got pillows and blankets we had our own tv screens with movies on demand and they brought us dinner along with scotch and wine and breakfast. So we felt pretty refreshed when we arrived. We made our way down to the local market to do s http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-774010.html Hola de Argentina The world39s eighth largest country at almost 2.8 million square kilometers almost the size of India and home to over 41 million people is the second largest country in South America. This land stretches from north to south at 3500 km almost 80 of Chile39s length and spans from east to west from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans. It has hotsemiarid lowlands area http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-773990.html Well to cut a long story short I started travelling October 2011 and am still doing it and ma in Argentina now after going around the world east and then a bit west I think. Just forgot to blog it all lol. http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-773199.html Originally I had been planing on spending the week after Rio recouping on a beach in the north of Brazil however a random invitation to attend a two day music festival in Buenos Aires meant that my time in Brazil was to be cut short and I headed straight over to Foz de Iguazu for my final day in Brazil. I had heard from many that the Brazilian side of the falls were not as impressive as the Argen http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-773190.html This the continuation of my blog from BA. Had some confusion with the last blog as it was typed in 3 days later.Took the 1500hrs flight from Buenos Aires. It took 3.5 hours to Calafate Airport. Contrary to reports from from many bloggers I did not experience any problems with Aerolineas. It was on time and a good service except that the food package was out of date.
