Oct 30, 2009 - Day 2 - Buenos Aires
Today is our second day in Buenos Aires and it has been quite eventful. ... As it’s not recommended to go during the night we decided to head there first thing in the morning to ensure that we were safe… The bus trip was all-right except that we found out that it’s not possible to pay bus fares using bills on the Buenos Aires buses - if you want to go by bus you need a good supply of coins. ...

Oct 30, 2009 - Iguazu Falls to Mendoza
We arrived in Puerto Iguazu, the town on the Argentinean side of the world-famous Iguazu Falls, a little shell-shocked from the 37 hour bus trip that we’d just survived. When we were literally under the curtain of water there was a moment of fear as we looked back at our captain and he closed his eyes against the spray of the falls only to then push the throttle down further! Screaming and soaking, it must be by far the best water-ride-cum-rollercoaster in the world! Another 36 hour bus trip to the wine region of Mendoza was next where Zack and I would be celebrating our birthdays. ... It has been such fun travelling with him all the way from La Paz in Bolivia to this small town of Mendoza in rustic Argentina. ... Thanks for all the great times Youngest.We arrived in Puerto Iguazu, the town on the Argentinean side of the world-famous Iguazu Falls, a little shell-shocked from the 37 hour bus trip that we’d just survived.

Oct 29, 2009 - Baileys on ice, on ice
Today Walter had suggested that we do a glacier trek on the Viedma glacier rather than leave it for the Perito Moreno glacier as it would be much quieter, so we all agreed and set off to a little harbour where we took a boat across to the glacier.Today Walter had suggested that we do a glacier trek on the Viedma glacier rather than leave it for the Perito Moreno glacier as it would be much quieter, so we all agreed and set off to a little harbour where we took a boat across to the glacier....
