Pucon

Soo.. We caught the bus early morning to a town about 12 hours north-west of Bariloche in called Pucon.. This meant crossing the border again into Chile.. For some reason we always end up buying fruit a few days before doing trips to Chile, of course a good thing as we want to stay healthy, but less good if you want to bring it along to a country like Chile...

Bariloche!

Soo… I have been in a lot of new adventures eversince we left for Bariloche about a week ago. After a mere 29 hours on busses all the way up to Bariloche, we finally arrived on fridaymorning at the bus terminal of Bariloche. Instead of taking a taxi, we decided to catch a local bus into town to save money. We had a reservation at the marcopolo inn hostel, and...

El Calafate & El Chalten

So the first day in El Calafate we did nothing else but booking tours, hostels and planning out our trip for the next week. The day after we caught a bus at 10 in the morning to Perito Moreno, the most famous glacier in Argentina. The busride took about 90 minutes. After paying the 40 peso entrance fee, we arrived at the glacier. We walked down the pathway and got up...

Puerto Natales & Torres del Paine

Sooooo A LOT has happend eversince I missed my bus about 10 days ago. The day after missing my bus I met up with my mexican friends. In the afternoon we grabbed a taxi to go up to the charilift to check out a small glacier not far from Ushuaia. Unfortunately by the time we got there, they stopped their service. Instead we had some late lunch in a typical english...

Ushuaia

Last monday I wanted to have some exercise cause with all this partying in Buenos Aires it was time to do some healthy things. As it was still easter the gyms were still closed. At the hostel they told me I could go for a run in the park in Palermo. They showed me on the map where I could go running. In the late afternoon I caught the subway to Palermo and went to...

More BA adventures..

Last wednesday I met up with the guy I met before in Iguazu. He invited me to come over to a bar somewhere in Palermo where we had a few drinks. He invited a few colleagues from work too. As it happened to be holiday this week because of easter, most of his friends were actually gone for a few days to other places outside of the city, so most of the bars and clubs...

Back in BA!

Friday night after having the BBQ I mentioned in my last newspost, I met up with a few guys in my room. Two guys from England, a guy from Wales and a guy from the States. We all went together to a bar in the historical center of Montevideo. It ended up to be a really great night. I found the people from Uruguay to be extremely friendly and well educated, almost the...

Montevideo

After two relaxing days in Punta del Este I decided my travels had to go on again. Punta del Este is a really nice place, it feels like being in spain with the big hotels and apartments on the beachfront. You can tell right away that this place has a lot of rich people around. The first day after arriving in Punta del Este I decided to get me a haircut. My hair had...

Punta del Este

Soooo, it has been a while since I have last updated my blog, due to the lack of news to be honest. The past week has been very chilled. As Florianopolis happens to be a very peaceful place and the hostel I was staying at had such a good atmosphere, I decided to stay there a little bit longer. I took a boatride to a desserted island, about an hour off the coast...

Florianopolis!

Catching my bus to Florianopolis was quite stressful last wednesday. After spending a full day at the apartment of my brasilian friends, except for going to the gym for 2 hours, I really decided to get out of there. Once they arrived back home around 7PM I told them straight away I was not planning to stay any more days. As I am traveling I want to keep moving. They...
