Following my fantastic adventure in Ecuador and the Galapogas Islands I made my way into Northern Peru. I arrived in Mancora, a popular surfing destination for natives and tourists alike. I chilled out in Máncora for a few days. As I gazed out my bedroom window at a spectacular display of kite surfers carving the waves with such style and panache, I decided there and then that surfing was an activity I was definitely going to persue.

I arrived in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina after a 20hour bus journey. I was tired but looking forward to exploring. I dropped off my bags and took a tour around the city by bicycle. (A very tiny bicycle because as you know I'm a very small bear)! The first thing I notice is that Buenos Aires has a very flat terrain. I started my bike tour in San Martín Square. This square looks down on the 'Big Ben' monument. As we all know The Big Ben is a famous...
