We’ve attained the ranking of supreme lords of overnight buses after eleven nocturnal journeys in six countries taking us nearly the the entire length of the continent. Always a good time to try something new, we jump on the daytime bus for the hop-skip north to El Chalten at the base of Cerro Fitz Roy. […]
After jolting our adventure back to life like a defibrillator to the chest, pulling us back from the brink, we are making the most of our only full day in this town. The journey north up the spine of the Andes will complete the long held desire to travel the length of this great range […]
The secret agent dash for cash draws to a mind numbingly slow close as the bus window television stuck on one channel takes its rightful place in a fading past. Loaded up with US dollars we are slowly re-birthed into this adventure on a breeze rising anticipation. We’re heading to a border crossing back into […]
The name’s Bond, James Bond. How quickly the coin flips, we were but moments ago quite enviable global travellers drinking up the worlds bounties and now at the hissing closure of the bus door we become black market racketeers, secret agent eat your heart out. A slight embellishment to the romantic designation of our task […]
Waking up in a picture perfect location we are treated to a view that redefines the word, perfection never got so perfect.

The mind wanders and sways to the breeze of unfamiliar thoughts, ideas and notions. The origins of the new are as difficult to pin down as any sense of conclusion, one thing that does seem a certainty though is that the end of the world is a place of space and eternity. We have tatty […]
Beunos Aires is indeed playing it’s part to resurrect the impression of urban life in Argentina, through our eyes at least. If travelling is a metaphor for life then life is an adventure, the passivity of comfortability is an option contra to the tatty corners of a passport. Buenos Aires is a huge city, 13 […]
Today we have a full day of donning the tourist caps and getting out and about, our to-do list is welcomely sparse leaving space for good old fashioned poking around. So it’s off to see the sights, soak up some atmosphere and surely get frustrated by the now comical Argentinian lack of efficiency and strong […]
We farewell Laf and Barnaby, we farewell La Constancia and we farewell Cordoba; all three have been very good to us. The liberal splash of luxury of La Constancia has been a breath of fresh air into the open window of hostel land and Cordoba province has rounded the picture of Argentina as we know […]
