Grand ol' world tour

The Navimag cargo ferry, our home for five nights and the best fun you can have on a ship loaded with cargo trucks, cows and sea-sick passengers. Travelling on the first trip of the high season meant that the boat was only a third full. Which was exc...

Month 1 of our 4 month trip through South America. We started our journey back at the beginning of November with a few days in Buenos Aires, and although we’re not normally that keen on big cities, we really enjoyed it. The city is very cosmopolitan...

24th December 2005 I met Gabriela for lunch and after we went Christmas shopping which was easier than yesterday because she knew somewhere that was less busy so of course less people begging. I find this side of things very difficult. By the ti...

Argentina & Chile

Ushuaia was our last destination on our tour of South America before heading to Santiago and out. We were quite tired from all the walking so took it pretty easy whilst we were there. After only a couple of hours in our hostel, a familiar face walk...

Me & My 20 Kilo Backpack in South America 2006

The start of our trip through Argentina's Patagonia. The first stop was at SANTA ROSA. Santa Rosa is the capital of La Pampa, it is relatively new city as it was only founded in 1892. (So the Lonely Planet guide says) It was a very quiet chilled...
