Hi Everyone, It´s been awhile I know and this isn´t much of an update just a bit i wrote for the park about Jane Goodall´s visit last week. We are going to be finishing up at the park in about a week or so and will have time to write in much more detail then. Love you all Bec After weeks of nervous build up (would Rob and Bondy get the quarantine cages built?! Only just but well done boys) and a few days of crazy scrambling to clean the casa and quaranti...

Well this blog has been a long time coming! We have been a bit lazy in Brazil (I am actually writing this in Bolivia) to say the least but in our defence we were just doing what the locals do ie. not much. So I shall start at the start with Rio De Janerio. To be honest after B.A. we had had enough of big cities and so we spent the best of our 5 days there at Ipanema Beach which was convienently located around the corner from our hostel. It was a balmy 25-27 deg...

So glad to arrive in the sub-tropics after another long and boring bus trip it was great to get off the bus and feel the sticky humidity of Puerto Iguazu, after the chilly tempretaures of Uruguay and Beunos Aires. The town was suprisingly dull considering there is a major tourist destination a short bus ride down the road. But we did not come to see the town. Infact as our hostel (which was an old casino) was about 5kms out of town and had a huge buffet every ni...

our venture to Uruguay was only a short stay for an entire country, four nights in total but the weather did not permit us to get the best from Colonia or Montevideo, though it did give us a chance to relax and get back to living in the day light hours after nocturnal Buenos Aires. colonia was our first stop off the ferry from B.A (a short three hour chug across the rio de la plata)and after you escape the terminal and taxi drivers and hostel touts it almost fee...

Steak, steak, steak!!!!!!!!!!That is about all I have to say about B.A. Well actually there is a bit more to it then that, I guess. We arrived on a Sunday 25th May after a monstrous bus ride from Mendoza . The bus broke a few hours into the trip and we spent about 4 hours in the middle of the night in some other s***ty town waiting for a replacement bus. The 25th of May in Argentina is a national holiday something like Independence Day, so it was a bit nuts. T...
