Well what can I say, we left BA on Sunday the 1st of Feb and boarded our first class bus to Bariloche, a journey that would last 20 hours... We had fully reclined seats and three films all in spanish, and wine and food of course.

The following day we arrived in Barilcohe and walked into town from the bus station which took around an hour, and then checked into our hostel which was very nice.

Bariloche is in Patogonia, Argentina and its their Lake District, a little bit like Scotland only bigger and better, and not full of smelly drunken Scots... just joking if your scottish, now get a job.

Hey are you rafting too

We have walked up mountains, been rafting down rivers as we cut our way through the Andes, and have met some really cool people along the way.. we are staying here for another week as we camp.. yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee by a lake for four days, you know it  makes sense... so anyway´s we will keep it short and sweet as it is 2 am and the only time we could jump on a pc to add some funny pics before we sleep and packup for the hills. I hear the powder is good in London this time of year.. anyway guys keep warm and remember don´t eat yellow snow.

Jump you never know

Someone asked me how I could take four months off work to go travelling and I told them that I had quit the ratrace and had become a professional traveller, to which I also said that the pay was rubbish but the hours were good, if I could give any advice to anyone whether they wish to travel or not, if you can´t wake up each day with a smile on your face and at least something to look forward to then it´s time to do something else, time is only ever lost never saved, so stop saving up for nothing and go and do something... blimey I really need to sleep.
