ARGENTINA


After harrassing many of you to comment on our fabulous blog, we haven´t even updated in months...thanks for all your lovely comments and we will try and update more regularly.



We are currently in Bolivia however since our last blog we have travelled through Argentina, Brasil and now here....



Argentina was amazing and we throughly recommend you visit it, as it is cheap and beautiful.

We entered by bus into Bariloche which gave Andy his first taste of meat...







Then onto Mendozza, where we spent Christmas and met a lovely couple, Kelly and Gonzalo who own the Irish pub in Mendoza, what a blast. They also took us out for Christmas Eve to an open air party surrounded by the Andes mountains, when the sun started to come up it was amazing.














After Mendoza we headed to the capital, Buenos Aires and spent NYE with some Irish friends that we had met on the Torres Del Paine walk, Lenny and Catherine.









After a busy NY, we went and visited Kelly and Gonzalo again at their beach house which was 4 hours south of BA in a place called Mar Del Plata. We looked and felt like Casper the Ghost amongst all those gorgeous tanned Argentines, however it was a lovely place to relax and swim.






Then it was back to Buenos Aires for a few days before we flew to Brasil. You wouldn´t believe it, we got upgraded to Business Class, it was pretty funny as we both had collars on our shirts however when we walked away from the counter the guy could see us in shorts and thongs, very classy. Then it was french champagne all the way!! (who upgrades two people checking through backpacks as their luggage??)


Stay tuned for the next installment


Take care and lots of Love Anna and Andy
