Ever since I read the Motorcycle Diaries and my guidebook, Ive been looking forward to Bariloche. So even though it was a long way from Cordoba, I decided to come straight here, a 27 hour bus journey. Its amazing here, I think my favourite place Ive ever been to. Its the Lake District of Argentina, I think theres 7 main Lakes and also lots of small ones, rivers etc. So far Ive only seen the lake right next to the town, the others are difficult to get to unless ...

Ive got to write this very fast or Ill miss my bus outta here! This is my third day in Cordoba, but I decided to leave because Im really looking forward to Bariloche, the lake district of Argetnina. I think Ive found a really good language school there, and a hostel too (thought I havent booked :s). My guide book promised that Cordoba was the cultural capital of the americas, but it seems fairly dull in that respect apart from lots of churches. Everythings shut b...

Ive been in Iguazu for 4 days, where obviously the main attraction is the falls. As soon as I got of my 20 hour coach trip from BA, I met my first genuine Argetine (!) at the hostel and we went to the falls. It was pretty amazing, you could do a lower circuit, upper circuit (to see them), go on an island with lots of wildlife, go to the 'Devil's Throat' (the biggun), do lots of nature trails and see them from Paraguay or Brazil (which I didnt do, apparenty theyre...

I'm typing at 12.55pm, and across the road theres a club thats still going from last night. So far I've just been exploring the city, the nicest bit Ive been to was San Telmo yesterday. Went with an American...

Hmm can´t remember where I got up to in my last post. I went the markets in San Telmo one day, that was real nice. Went to another Boca game this weekend which was even more packed and crazy than last time. I started Spanish lessons at a really good school just down the road from my hostel (well, as of today, my ex-hostel). Im learning a lot, the first 3 days of classes were just me and one other student in the class, so we got through a lot....
