A bit of a catch up..

Ok my last entry was a bit of a random drop of photos from Chile with little explanation, considering when i last left off we were travelling around Brazil.. Well A quick (!!!) 40 hour bus trip from Rio direct to Buenos Aires delivered us into the wonderful world of Argentina, at last a country where we can live like kings on the aussie dollar and afford to really live it up in this por supesto country! I cannot reccomend South America, in particular Argentina, enough to my fellow cringos. Where else in the world can you enjoy a bounty of everything the great outdoors has to offer, skiing, hiking, you name it, you can now actually afford to do it! as well as great city living, even the best restaurant meals with the biggest fattest steaks and most luscious wines will only set you back about 20 dollars. But what about the danger?? I hear you fret, the gun slinging gauchos (cowboys), the gangstas, the crazy crime ridden terrors awaiting to strip you of all worldy possesions and leave you beaten in a dusty ditch..?? Well so far our experience of this side of SA has been strictly listening to OTHER travellers tales (touch wood) ....
