Argentina

This post should have come a long time ago but it seems that we are loosing track of time... we'll try to make up for our lack of consistency today by telling you what happened to us in the last few weeks.... First of all we are currently in Valparaiso, a strange and charming city in the North of Santiago. We were supposed to stay here a couple of days but we have extended our stay as we like it here. Our hostel is very nice and colourful and the internet connection is fast. Hopefully we'll manage to upload loads of pictures so that you can admire the beautiful things we have seen so far! 

Hola! After a long journey of 33 hours on a bus, we arrived in Bariloche a couple of hours ago. Not sure that Swiss people would approve of the nickname that Argentineans give to their town... it seems that there are too many Renault 12 in the streets for the comparison to be quite accurate

Programm of the day: recovering from our very uncomfortable bus journey and trying to churn out a summary of the week that passed! Talk to you soon then...

After a streneous trekking week in Chile, we are back in Argentina in a town called El Calafate. Today we are taking a day off. Our hostel is very appropriate to do nothing but rest. It's quiet and sunny, perfect conditions to tell you everything you missed so far!

Our camping expedition is over! A new article will come soon to let you know how it went.
While you're waiting to read it you can check out new pictures of penguins here.

Just a quick post to let you know that we are going camping for the next 5 days in Torres Del Paine National Park from tomorrow on. We rented all the equipement we needed today and we just finished packing our bags. We'll see how it goes, if we can't hack it then we'll come back Well no need to be worried, hundreds of people are going to walk the same circuit as us anyway. This parc is highly recommended in travel guides and there are lots of tourits like us trying to prove themselves! Obviously we won't be able to give news for a while, so Patricia and Michael be sure we'll be thinking of you on your birthdays We'll keep you posted...

Well we'll have to review the general organization! We are not very efficient in updating the website regularly and not much more in planning our itinerary

We left Dublin on Friday afternoon and reached Buenos Aires 22° and 22 hours later! No need to say that the trip seemed (a little bit) long! But a nice taxi driver brought us from the airport to our hostel and at 11.30 (local time) we had already settled down.
