Sometimes you get to a place and it just feels right. Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany really was one of those places. It was a good job too as we had four nights here over the Christmas period to experience what has been described as the most German of German towns. Our journey to Rothenburg started with a flight to Frankfurt from Birmingham with Lufthansa on LH957 on Friday 21st December. The flight was around 45 minutes late which, whilst annoying for us, ...

Having been to Buenos Aires a number of times before we only had a few things on our 'to do' list especially as we only had one full day in the Argentine capital city. After our day trip to Colonia we had an evening walking around the Puerto Madero area of BA. This area has been transformed from old docks to a vibrant area comprising offices, apartments, bars and restaurants.

The internet is a great resource for travellers!

Perito Moreno Glacier still ranks as one of...

The drive to El Chalten in Argentina is stunning, the road is very good, the traffic very light and other than the odd guanaco or hare there is not much to worry about as you drive towards the Fitz Roy mountain range. The mountains seem to be a constant as you approach El Chalten and even from 50 miles or so away it always seems as though 'around the next corner, or over the next brow of a hill' you will arrive into one of Argentina's newest towns. The location...
