Hello! It's been a few days because we've been out at the Salt Flats for a three day tour, no signal, no computers...no running water. The place was as basic as basic gets, but we had a really good few days. We caught a bus from Sucre to Potosi, and the Potosi to Uyuni. They did tell us it was one direct bus from Sucre to Uyuni, but we've learnt to never trust the people here. If they don't know the answer to a question, they don't tell you they don't know, they...

An uneventful two days really, but we want you all to know we arrived safely in Santa Cruz (Bolivia) after a treacherous 22 hour bus journey! We spent all day at the bus station because it was free and there's not much else to do in Asuncion, not around the station anyway. We waited for around 8 hours, messed around online and watched some mexcian telenovelas on the big screens and made up our own plots! Fun times.We managed to sleep quite a bit on the bus, despi...

Hello all. Bit of a stressful day today! First off we set a 7 o clock alarm on Gemmas phone to make sure we were nice and early for breakfast...we tiptoed around the dorm and got all showered and everything, then when we wandered outside it was pitch black.

We arrived very safely in Puerto Iguazu after a short, but very delayed flight from Buenos Aires.

We got a taxi/bus from the airport, like a mini bus that we shared with lots of other people, it took about half an hour and dropped us off right outside the door of Hostel Timbo Igua...

Another busy day in Buenos Aires! We had an early start and made our way to the Plaza Congreso which is a 2 minute walk from our hostel, where the very grand Congreso de la Nacion lives. We then went down town, and after a few wrong turns, found a subte (subway) station to take us to Palermo. It's a very pretty, classy neighbourhood with lots of nice cafes and restaurants. Naturally we couldn't afford any of these, so we sat in the botanical garden and made our o...
