Bariloche was planned for a long time because we wanted to be in a good city for Paddys day. We had ended up staying for 7days. The first 3 had been in Marcopolo Inn Hostel where we had planned to be in a quiet hostel before the madness of St Patricks Day. We were wrong, the first night we went into the hostel we seen 2dubs falling round the hostel bar, they were locked and trying to play pool. we said we had to get to know these 2 so we had good group for the big day. Collie and Darlene were their names. We had organised a whole day of it for st patricks day. They however had a lot more party pieces organised. They had gotten wool, green, white and gold and were planning ... read more

Ushuaia We got a flight from B.Aires to the most southerly village in the world. When we arrived, we were surprised, no snow or rain, we could walk round the town in a t-shirt. Weird!! Things we did: Went out on a boat, saw lighthouse, sea lion and bird colony and visited an island where the natives lived. Saw archaeolgical sites where the natives lived. Visited the museum, old prison and learned about the history Ushuaia. Was interesting enough and was weird when we started hearing noises in the cells and seen as though we were the only people in the basement floor, sorcha got scared and wanted to go. Stayed 3nights here and i didnt feel was worth the visit cos it cost 130euro each for flight from B.Aires and 70euro each for a bus ... read more

Rosario The main reason for stopping off inRosariowastobreak up the large 30hr bus journey from Foz de Iguazu to Buenos Aires. We were definately glad we did it tho!! We stayed in a small hostel called Che Pampas which was located centrally and was good fun cos the owner/worer actually took the time to get to no us!!! We stayed in dorms with 3-4other Argetinian girls which sorcha didnt like cos they were noisy at night and in the morning!!! I thought they were grand but thats cos theywere nice to me the night before cos sorcha went to bed and i stayed up drinking!!! Cant remember anyones names but they were grand!! Rosario wasnice, quiet city, lots a pubs nd we did find ourselves walking for miles all around the city but it was so ... read more

Florianopolis; This was easily the nicest place we had been to so far!! We stayed in Lagoa Hostel which was a bit of a shit hole but it was central and we cudnt ask for more. The old guy at the hostel did turn out d lights at 12 on d button but dat didnt matter cos we were well nd truly hammered by dat time anyway!! People dat we shared our room wit were cool aswell so dat made up for alot of it!! We were about 15mins on bus away from the many beaches they had there but the best part of the beach was the size of the waves. Sorcha didnt head in cos of her new fear of d sea but i loved it. The waves were massive. The beach was full ... read more

We asked the girl at the hostel in Copacabana where would we go for diving and snorkelling, she advised us on a remote island called Ilha Grande. So off we went- As you can see we had a great time here, stayed in a hostel called Hostel Aquarius and it was right along the beach. The island probably took about 7hrs total by bus and by boat. It was amazing. No atms on the island but we were fortunate enough to exchange dollars for Brazilian reais but at a price. The lady basically raped us with the exchange rate. We ended up chatting with some people on the boat over and turns out we were all stayin in same hostel. U will see all in the photos and names will be noted on all. We stayed ... read more
