The day before we learned of a taxi strike in Montevideo and decided not to risk it and got an uber. Our driver was great, spoke pretty good English and made jokes all the way to the airport. He was on the heavier side and when we saw some joggers on the street, he exclaimed […]
Uruguay – Car Shipping
Driving back from Iguazu falls was just as painful as driving up there, except now we are going to Uruguay and not Buenos Aires. Uruguay wasn’t even on the list of countries that we initially thought of visiting. Even when making flags and names in Peru we didn’t think twice about Uruguay and skipped it. So […]
Iguazu falls -Argentina
Waterfalls or as we like to call them vertical rivers are everybodys favorite thing to watch. Maybe its becuase your parents always told you to turn off the water when brushing your teeth or not to take too long in the shower. If thats the reason then you can work out all your childhood trauma […]
Buenos Aires – Argentina
Argentina is not bad, and if you got an impression that I dont like it, well its only partially true. The distances between points of interest are really long, with a whole lot of nothing in the middle. Its been a few days of driving and we are FINALLY approaching Buenos Aires. The surroundings slowly […]
Penguins at Punta Tombo – Argentina
I’ve personally started sharing more of the photos of the trip on Instagram and I realize that we don’t really give Hodori the attention he deserves. He has been our home, our place of refuge and emotional security. Silly customs officers aside, Hodori allows the complete freedom of travel, which in itself brings a great […]
Ushuaia – End of the World
Before we get all emotional about reaching the southern most point on our journey. Lets look at the name of this symbolic town more closely – “Ushuaia”. I had to look at the photo below just to make sure I didn’t make a spelling mistake. It has more vowels than a word should, its like […]
Torres del Paine – Chile
If you have had it with the pretty mountain pictures on this blog, well i can’t help you. This is going to be all about mountains and a bit about us. Maybe a bit about Chile and Argentina? The national park Torres del Paine, pride of all Chile, can only be reached on land by […]
Perito Moreno Glacier – Argentina
Spent the first night in Argentina camped in front of a police station. The wind in Patagonia was so strong that we had to find some cover, otherwise the tent would blow away. At this part of Patagonia the land is absolutely flat, without any trees and nothing to stop the ferocious winds coming from […]
Carretera Austral – Chile
Carretera Austral, or the Southern Highway, runs through the deep Chilean Patagonia. We heard that the views are beautiful, the people are few and it was a must see if you can afford the time. Well, time we have…but sometimes it feels like we are always in a rush, always doing something. Anyway, the actual […]
Chilefornia
I’m sure you have all looked at the world map at least once in your life and there was one country that really stood out in your mind. No…i’m not talking about mother Russia, no, i’m talking about the silly, skinny Chile. Everyone who looks at the map of South America notices just how long […]
