Travelogue

And so to bed

Argentina 2007

Back home, being kept company by a certain Mr. Jet Lag, I write a mini-review of my time in Argentina

On the art of idling

Argentina 2007

Of the great arts one learns during one’s student years — idling, Jedi, drinking — idling is the most useful. I put it to good use in Río Gallegos

Sheikh, rattle, and roll

Argentina 2007

Friday night in Ushuaia, Argentina. Five travellers go in search of the nightlife in Ushuaia, and end up somewhere … shady

Tierra del Fuego

Argentina 2007

As a child I imagined Tierra del Fuego to be filled with volcanoes. It’s not. Here’s a brief glance at that most southerly part of Patagonia

Paw prints

Argentina 2007

Nadia and I dice with death in the hills behind the town of El Calafate. Some might say I was being melodramatic

A nice cup of tea and a sit down

Argentina 2007

An Englishman is lost without a cup of tea. Time to find a cuppa in Welsh Patagonia

Not drinking in El Bolsón

Argentina 2007

In a bar in El Bolsón, Río Negro province, we try a local tradition: definitely not drinking the night before the election

An oasis in Patagonia

Argentina 2007

Four days of walking in San Carlos de Bariloche, in the Argentinean Lake District, finds me winning pool and feeling relaxed

This is gaucho country

Argentina 2007

Stopping off at a gaucho’s house, Nadia and I come across something unexpected. City-living this is not

Payunia, the land of volcanoes

Argentina 2007

We make our way through Parque Provincial Payunia, a land of volcanoes. Santiago, our guide, tells us stories of his time there

When plans change

Argentina 2007

The highs and the lows of travelling. I like to think taking the rough with the smooth is part of the fun

Cañon del Atuel

Argentina 2007

A trip into Cañon del Atuel in Argentina finds us watching an Argentinian gentleman working his magic on the ladies. Oh, and we manage some climbing too

A condor in Mendoza

Argentina 2007

Nadia and I meet up in Mendoza, and explore the town. We find a condor but miss out on the albino toads

Through the grasslands

Argentina 2007

Overnight, I took a bus from Buenos Aires to Mendoza. Through the window I saw my first great Argentinian sunset

In Buenos Aires

Argentina 2007

A long, long flight finally sees me arrive in Argentina, two years after I left. And I have four hours to waste

In Patagonia

Argentina 2007

For five weeks I’ll be missing from Edinburgh. Instead, you’ll find me in Argentina, heading south with a skip in my step
