        After a long 10+ hour flight, Luqman and I arrived in Buenos Aires, early Friday morning. Customs and immigration were very pleasant and fast. Thankfully our luggage got to Buenos Aires safely and we proceeded to take a car to our apartment in town.  …

Yesterday was a wet one here in Buenos Aires.  There was a lite rain falling all day in the city.  Fortunately, it did not affect mine or Lauren´s plans at all, considering we only wanted to sleep after dancing all night on Saturday.  We did find the energy to leave the comfort…

            Argentina’s economy has been steadily improving since the economic collapse of 2001. At this time, Argentina’s economy requires movement and diversification to continue to grow. The Chilean model, while it has its advantages, is…

Unless you want to count the obligatory ¨¿Que tal?¨ as smalltalk.  After that, however, you´d be hard pressed to find conversation that isn´t productive or interesting here when chatting with locals.  They don´t discuss weather, and the lack of tabloid news is quite impressive. &…

This is the blog about my travels around Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile!

It was a relief to finally be leaving San Pedro, just way too touristy and expensive for my tastes. While I was there I met a couple, an American man and his Chilean wife who had returned to San Pedro after first visiting there 33 years ago, they even stayed in the same hostel, which is still owned…

Day out at the Zoo seeing the animos! Saw Elephants, Lions, Tigers, Crocs, Rhinos, Monkeys and loads more.

I went to Argentina to help scientists fulfill their research needs. They needed people, and I was willing to come. What a trip.

Foz do Iguacu is one of the most beautiful places on earth. There are about 300 waterfalls along with beautiful flowers and exotic animals. The falls border Brazil & Argentina similar to how Niagara Falls border the US & Canada. We stayed in the hotel within the Brazilian park. They served brea…

So my best friend and I planned to take a trip together, we'd been talking about where we should go for our "reunion trip" and settled on Buenos Aires.  I knew nothing about it - figured it was like other cities in South America.  Wow, I how wrong I was...  My best friend lives i…

Monday 5 May:Last full day in Bariloche today, and not a huge amount to do as the museums are closed on Mondays.  Decided to splash out and take a ride on the ´Happy Train´, one of those kitschy little tourist buses that scoots around the streets.  Although not usually our sort of thing…

Stayed at Palermo this time for a change of scenery. The town was swimming with Irish and Irish band-wagoners for St Pats day so I got in the festivities for that. Won about 12 straight games of pool with an Oz girl Lil (mostly against Irish - guess they were too drunk) at the Milhouse before being…

We started and ended our trip to Argentina, that incredibly large and diverse country, in Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is well known as the 'Paris of the Americas' and indeed has a very European feel to it. In this it is very different from other South American cities such as Lima and Quito. Bu…
