Hello People, We awoke early again but didn’t mind, as we knew that amazing free breakfast was waiting for us!!! Today our plan was to ride the 6.4km to Balneario Municipal. Our hostel Catarinos did bike hire for 15 real (£3) for the day, and they supplied the bike, a lock and direction there. We took with us snacks and water and started off, it’s easy to get to as there is one straight road through the town and out and turn left at the first round about!! We flew there even though the bikes had one gear!! We arrived and found out that you need to buy a ticket in town to get in this park, another couple turned up in a car and had the same problem, however once this couple went and when ... read more

Hello Everyone, About 7.30am we arrived into Campo Grande, we then bought some breakfast at the terminal, and also bought our onward bus ticket to Bonito, which was a 3-hour wait until it left and then another 6 hours on that bus. Urhhhh! Best part was this ladyboy who looked like she had a fake bum and lip implants, and when she turned around and put her bag down had a big old stiffy sticking through her dress!! LOL everyone seemed to be looking at him..I mean her…and the stiffy!!! The bus stopped for 45 minutes for lunch on that journey, which did break it up a bit. We had some local food on a self-service buffet; it was nice and only £3. When we arrived at 3pm, we were met at the terminal by the ... read more

Hi Friends, Family and bloggers, After having the tasty free breakfast at the hostel we were picked up by the tour company from the hostel, where we travelled the short distance in a coach with our Spanish speaking guide (was meant to be an English speaking tour) to Iguazú National Park, where we spent the day on the Argentinian side of Iguassu Falls. The most important thing to bring today was our camera for this natural wonder, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet. We were amazed as 400,000 gallons (1.5 million liters) of water a second plummet onto the rocks below in a network of more than 270 waterfalls. Our guided visit (booked through Viator as it was very competitively priced) took us to the park’s three tiers, ... read more

Hi, We arrived in Puerto Iguazu at around 0900, so only 1.5 hours late, and found our hostel Noelia quick enough, however, they made us wait till 1200 to check in so we caught up on the internet and I even had a swim…yes people it was 27 degrees up here so it was finally time to ditch the ski coat and bring out the flip flops!! So happy!!! The hostel also decided to add an extra 21% tax on to our 3 night total fee, which we found it hard to dispute in Spanish, so we just emailed hostel world instead to sort it out. Hostel world are saying we don’t have to pay it but the hostel is, so if we want to stay here then I guess we’ll have to pay it. Grrrrr. ... read more

Hello Everyone, So we got up early for our free breakfast, again it was bread and dolce leche (awesome sweet milk spread). We were leaving to head back to Colonia today but our bus was at 1430 so we still had all morning to explore!! We went for a walk in the early morning down to the Rambla-waterfront where the joggers are, we attempted a 5 minute jog but it is evident we clearly need to get back in the gym. It is a lot warmer in Montevideo, so Vick can now stop wearing the ski coat! One area to visit is ‘Mercado del Puerto, a fantastic restaurant area, here they had lots of Asado’s, so the best time to see this really is at night. Our early morning walk took us into the Plaza Independencia, ... read more
