Blogs from Córdoba, Córdoba, Argentina, South America - page 9

After my adventures in skydiving, I had been in Cordoba for almost two weeks. My second week in Cordoba was less action-packed but no less interesting. I walked around the downtown area some more and rediscovered some of my favorite landmarks in Cordoba, including the neo-Gothic church (see pictures below). After taking it easy during the beginning of the week, I packed my schedule towards the end. I hadn´t planned on being in Cordoba past two weeks, but a certain girl named Mica changed things (I´m not complaining!) On Wednesday Mica invited me to an evening Mass. I hadn´t been to church in quite awhile and thought it would be interesting to experience a service in Argentina. Although I´m not Catholic, I could follow along with the Mass pretty well. Following the Mass there was a ... read more

So here we are again, two years later, BACK in South America. I have been planning this trip for a couple months now and will be in Argentina and Uruguay for 6 weeks, with today being day one of my trip. After spending so much time in Cordoba, Argentina last time and loving it so much (http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Cordoba/blog-149971.html) I decided to come back. This time around I´ll be spending a lot more time in Cordoba and then just seeing where the wind takes me. Well it took me over 30 hours to get here, and besides three plane rides, one taxi and one bus, there´s not much to tell. I will be writing a full blog entry in the next few days. I just wanted to get in touch with everybody (sorry if I haven´t been in ... read more

Cordoba, the second largest city in Argentina, is said to be the second capital as well. The city is nice and rather clean. There are a lot of colonial buildings to see and lots of museums as well. We did not spend much time in Cordoba. Only two days exploring the city and of course the world cup stadium as well. Due to the legendary match at the world cup 1978 that ended 3-2 between Austria and Germany, many Austrians just go and visit the stadium. A normal stadium, nothing very special, but it still is the place of the Austria's legendary football success over germany. If you ask for teh way to the stadium, people in Cordoba just laugh and ask whether you are from Austria :D So on Tuesday evening we took the bus ... read more

Hi Guys…have just crossed the border into Argentina to a city called Salta and have arrived in Cordoba after a great month in Bolivia. We started Copacobana from where we sailed on the slowest boat of all time (we were about to find out that crap transport is a real feature of Bolivia) to Isla del Sol. We had met up with a dutch guy when leaving Peru who turned out to be a bit of a tool but he came along for the gallery. Isla del Sol was cool. Stayed on the island for one night with the intention of trekking to the other side of the island to see some ruins. So we arose from bed early and set off. After about 20 minutes of walking up a hill ((at serious altitude) we gave ... read more

onze "zware" werkweek zit erop... de feestdag en het verlengde weekend van pasen begint hier, dus ook voor ons zijn de werkdagen voorbij... maandag was het na mijn rijkgevulde weekendje wel pijnlijk om op te staan en terug naar het ziekenhuis te gaan... een guardia zag ik dus ook niet meer zitten en die heb ik dan ook maar gelaten voor wat hij was... na de patiënten op de afdeling te hebben onderzocht en hun evolucion en indicaciones te hebben geschreven, ben ik er maar vandoor gegaan... toch nog een beetje genieten van het mooie weer... de herfst is hier ondertss wel ingetreden, maar als het zonnetje erdoor komt, dan halen we hier toch nog altijd bijna dertig graden... een beetje buiten gezeten met een boekje dus... jullie kennen mijn gewoontes ondertussen ook al... met een ... read more
