Following the excitement of Puerto Madryn, we decided to get a little closer to home and caught an early evening bus to the town of Trelew, a Welsh colony (yes Welsh!) right in the heart of Argentina. Arriving late, we headed to the first place listed in the guide book, which was conveniently located across from the bus station – what a bad idea! The place was ridiculously overpriced, dark and dingy, but since we were hungry and tired we decided to dump ...

SOoooo here began our adventure in Patagonia, a Welsh Colonial city on the eastern coast of Argentina (YES that’s Welsh from Wales!!!)…Our taxi driver from the airport was a lovely old man who incidentally had the surname Jones, and who´s grandparents had migrated from Wales to Argentina…seemed to be a common story amongst some of the people we met during our stay.

We had already investigated the bus route and there was a bus direct from Sao Paulo to Puerto Iguassu on the Argentine side of the falls, which is ...

We arrived to the madness of Sao Paulo late evening, and completely underestimated the size of the city. After a tiring trek around the `cheap hostel district` to find somewhere to stay, we ended up in a dodgy looking hotel and dumped our bags. Our hunger had made us pretty much crazy, so we dashed on the metro to the area full of Japanese restaurants. There is a massive Japanese community in Sao Paulo, and the food was literally calling us, so we had sushi and...
