LEARNING ENGLISH It would seem that long bus rides would be torture.  But, not for me.  I use this opportunity to learn English...Proper English to be specific.  I have learned on this journey that I not only do not speak Spanish so well, but I also have a limitted English vocabulary.  Steph and the other Euros are very polite to use English when in my presence, but they use this version they call Proper English. They have been warning me about my things getting nicked i...

We arrived from Bariloche to a very different sort of a town.  Puerto Madryn was the place that settlers from Wales decided to head to from their homeland.Our first impressions were that it is a very tidy, pretty and clean place and again, it was very different to what you might perceive a Latin American town to be like - our hostel owner´s comment that "Latin America finishes with a line from Cordoba (a city in Northern Argentina) and Europe starts".  I think that we would probabl...

After an 18-hour overnight bus journey from Buenos, we arrived in the seaside town of Puerto Madryn. We found out about a campsite 5km out of town and hopped on the local bus to the nearest stop. When I say hopped on the bus I mean struggled under the weight and size of our packs up the steps of the bus barely managing to squish through the door.   The campsite was great and at last we could set up tent after lugging the bloody thing for nearly a month. It was warm too with lovely ...

Puerto Madryn - del 19 al 22 des. Bueno doncs ja he arribat a Puerto Madryn, i el viatge no va estar malament, la veritat és que molt més bé que a l'avió (on hi havia algunes coses que no anaven, però tot molt bé remei, i molt rapid i sense turbulencies), els autobusos estan molt bé (de moment). Desde Madryn he fet una excursioneta a la Península Valdés per veure la fuana de la zona, i per anar a saludar les últimes balenes que passaven i la veritat és que és una passada, després...

Today we visited Peninsula Valdes National Park, a short trip in a small group but taking up a whole day. The main attraction is the wildlife, and we were given our money´s worth in what we saw. Two guides, one translating the other one´s Spanish into English, gave us a blow-by-blow description of what we were to see and some of the history of the area. Apparently, Puerto Madryn is one of the richer and more expensive areas to live in Argentina, which wasn´t surprising given some of the ho...

It's about Argentina, started in Buenos Aires, then Peninsulda Valdes, El Calafate, Torres del Paine in Chili. Then we went to the most southern city of the world, Ushuaia. Our last stop was a visit to the spectacular Iguazu falls at the border of Argentina and Brasil.

Just wanna say hello to the people we met on the road. Finally we found some really goooooood steaks!

A year spent exploring South East Asia, Australasia and my favouriter continent of South America

After three and a half months in Central America the Odyssey continues! The basic plan is to travel south through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia Argentina and Chile...then re-enter reality in California for 2 weeks before we have to go back home.

Survived the border crossings again, this time not only tired but also with a hangover! I arrived in Puerto Madryn and booked myself straight on a tour for the following day to see the Southern Right Back Whales. There are hundreds in the waters around here until mid December and I wasn´t sure if we were going to see any but tours were still going and it was pot luck as to whether or not you saw the last remaining ones. It was a long bus journey to the Peninsula from here but we stoppe...

This is an itinerary of our trip around the world and does not include any journal entries.

I arrived in Puerto Madryn hoping for a National Geographic wet dream moment involving flippers, teeth, blood and blubber. I am of course talking about a killer whale taking a sea lion from the beach, tossing it in the air and then munching it down with the same greedy relish as a fat aunt troughing a plateful of gratis wedding buffet grub. This majestic natural scene (involving the killer whale, not the fat aunt) is apparently...

So we leave Ushuaia on the 2nd and head north, crossing back in to Chile and then out again. We have a few hiccups with the truck but nothing that Andy can't deal with. But we arrive late to our first campsite and then have to get the truck fixed the next morning which means we don't leave till the early afternoon on the 3rd. Making it another late dinner. We get to Puerto Madryn and get a bot of time in town before heading to the campsite and setting up. A nice relaxing afternoon chilling o...
