Hi Everyone,
Yes i know i havent done so well filling in the journal...but what did u expect?!
Anyway, Ilhe Grande was amazing, such a beautiful place with some amazing beaches and waterfalls. Did some hiking which will come in handy for the Inca Trail! Although me boots are already rubbing me and i have a blister! doh! Went on a boat trip which was crazy, lots of snorkeling, cocktails and sun! AND and BBQ...Great day!
Following this we went to a sleepy town called Paraty, historical, lots of churches, and a mutant santa! Went for an amazing thai curry there!
Moved onto Igassu Falls for a few days...took a speed boat under the falls, got very wet! it was fantastic...went on a few walks around them...they were huge! Christmas Eve we went on a big night out, then Christmas Day we went on a helicopter ride around the falls... what a christmas pressie!
Then we took the night bus from hell to Uruguay... no room, smelly people, and we got food, althought there was a worm in mine! nice! now i remember why travelling can be very crap at times!
Went onto Salto in uruguay, another quiet town..then montevideo for a mad night out in the obligatory irish bar... there was a band on that did not know any irish music! crazy! tried to teach then, but then they wanted me to sing so i made a sharp exit! helen and i did not make the city tour the following morning!
One of the girls from the trip, Simone, met a local and so the next day we broke away from the group and he took us on a little road trip to an amazing place called punta del este...its kinda like the puerto banus of uruguay... long sandy beaches, huge boats, nice hotels etc... as u can imagine i loved it! did not stay long though as we had to get the bus to colonia... Arrived in colonia and the next day hired a golf cart to tour the town! (as i am never getting on a scooter again after Thailand!) It was hilarious... cobble streets, reminded me a little of blarney golf course! ha!
yesterday took the boat across to Buenos Aires... we are here until the 1st when we fly to peru...not looking forward to the Inca Trail...really cant be bothered to walk for 4 days!
Buenos Aires is pretty good so far... went on a shopping mission to find a tango outfit... and succeeded! got a mad red dress, high heels and a flower for my hair! went to a tango lesson (we were rubbish!) then to a show..had a 3 course dinner followed by the most amazing dancing i have ever seen...it was fantasic! then went out afterwards...i have a v bad hangover now!
so thats it... up to date!
let me know what is happening at home... missing everyone tons, feels like i have been away forever...
muchos love
Ali
