South America » Argentina » Tierra del Fuego » Ushuaia March 2nd 2008

So after my last blog, i headed off to the airport driven by Lou´s dad and Lou´s mum stayed at home and gave me a massive hug before i went and i got to the airport and Lou and Her dad waited on me checking in and hugged me and said i had a family and a home in Mexico whenever i want it, which was really sweet and i felt a little upset at leaving as they were wonderful and yet also excited to go to South America. So i went through and no mention of a departure tax, ill get back to this point later and so i went through and 30 mins before departure they advised that they were going to carry out maintance and it kept getting later until it was gone ... read more

So i had not the best of nights, just as in the few days i thought my stomach was bucking its ideas up, i spent most f the night and morning becoming friendly with the porcelain throne, the pain was excruating and i felt like i would be sick and i had a headache that would fall a horse. Luckliy im here with Lou and her family and i was dosed up with Imodium, Peptol Bismol and Furoxona which is an anti-biotic, we headed out for breakfast and i felt like i was going to hurl at any moment, which was a pity as i should be enjoying my last day in Mexico City and my last day with Lou and her family and we went to Saks aswell. The food was nice and just was ... read more

So Yesterday was for all intense purposes a complete washout i did hardly anything of real note, i had a lie which was great and id imagine it recharged my batterys, but as Lou and her mum had things to do i spent most of the day watching TV or on the internet. We briefly headed out for lunch and went to another supermarket, so thats four in Mexico City now, however i found out that the local tax office is on the top floor of the supermarket which is a very weird set up, but hey its Mexico and they have bus's running the wrong way in traffic so anything else should be no supprise.......hehe. Spoke to my girlfriend and shes due to go home on the 23rd March, so no chance of us meeting ... read more

So again no lie in today but im use to my peculiar body clock now, something im not sure i mentioned but here in Mexico city the temp drops at night so i have a thin duvet, blanket and sheet at night as appose to a sheet in the south as it was so hot at night and you needed a fan on. So i went through the usual routine of showering etc and then it was breakfast time and breakfast was fruit covered in yougurt followed by french toast and various other things as breakfast in Lou's house is never small, im use to a quick bowl of cereal and running out the door for a tram or a bus to work. Then while Lou was sorting out some Uni work i packed up my ... read more

So today i was woken by Lou's mum drilling someones teeth, ooh that sound goes right through me, i had a bit more sleep today, again as usual my stomach still is not right but i think ive put that down to the damn malaria pills and of course im out of the area and still taking them as i have to take them for 4 weeks, so 14th March i can finally stop taking them, i know malaria aint nice but these drugs have not been kind to me either. Lou was doing some Uni work and so i had breakfast which was grapes, melon, scrambled egg with veggies and rice and a muffin, i was stuffed and then i spent the morning reading up in South America, I did not budget right for Central ... read more

Now im losing my rag with the internet this is now the 4th attempt at this blog entry......lol, so i headed over to the apartment and fransico was the only one up, i was that early i had gotten up before Lou, her mum and Paco.

So today was suppose to be a lie in, but someone forgot to tell my bodyclock that and when i got to the main appartment Lou's mum was just up and Lou and her brother were still in bed.....lol. A little later breakfast followed and this consisted of melon and gayaub (not sure if the spelling is right) and then various maize dishes, i lose track now of hurchaos and quesidillas and tortillas and all the variations and sweet bread and hot strawberry milk, a very large and filling breakfast and Lou's mum made sure i had plenty.....hehe. We then headed out and Lou's brother Paco was our chauffer and we went south in the city and first to a mall were both Lou and her brother paid some bills and from the mall you could ... read more

We chatted and nearly had an accident when a woman ran a red with her 4x4 and eventually got back and we hadd pizza and tacos and salad with sol beer and followed with ... read more
