its been a while...

hey everyone,

sorry for the lack of posts, hopefully this will make things better...



Puerto Madrin, Argentina...
Penguins, Sea Lions, Elephant Seals and Killer Whales (or lack there of)... what more could you want?

Yes, i'm afraid the stories were true. You have to understand though, mullets are perfectly acceptable in Argentina. Well, on most people...

Baking heat on the magical island that is Easter Island... AMAZING!!!

This is the largest collection of standing Moai heads on the island... 15 in total!

This is the Nursery where the heads were all carved, there are over 300 on the island and the majority of them are still in this place.


The proud owners of a 1992 Toyota Townace which goes by the name of Steven Seagal!

Bridge jumping in a small surfer town in New Zealand... (please take note of rats tail)

this was one of the winerys in mendoza(note someone whos had a little too much vino).

this was us parragliding in mendoza. it was class, although i got the spins really bad, had a terrible take off/landing and banged my foot nicely. good times.


a view from the bus going through barriloche, very scenic indeed.(not sure who the old lad is though)



this is us doing a very cheesy pose infront of a waterfall near barriloche, argentinian lake district. very nice!




seb, aoife and soph putting on a brave smile in mar del plata, the argentinian tramore/blackpool if they had high rise. an EXTREMELY odd place.

Happy New Year Everyone!

After leaving Puerto Iguazu, but not before sampling some of the finest melt-in-your-mouth Argentinian steaks, we made our way south to a city called Cordoba, very near Che Guevaras home town. We thought the bus journey to Cordoba from Puerto Iguazu would only be 10 hours so we forefitted the first class tickets (which included meals, champaign and FULLY RECLINEABLE seats) only to find out 12 hours into the bus journey that it´d be 23 hours in total! However we made it to Cordoba in one piece none the less where we broght in the New Year in pure Argentinaian fashion. The clubs here dont open untill 2am so you can imagine it was a very late night! We ended up staying in our hostel for the count down then going to an Electro party at a near by hostel and finally on to a reggae club after. Great night!

From Cordoba we travelled further south to Mendoza, wine country! Its a beautiful town, great wine for littlle to nothing and of course steak every night. Some of us went on a cycling wine tasting tour of the vin yards today and hope to do white water rafting tomorrow (if our heads aren´t too heavy in the morning!)

Hope to stay here another few days and then on to Buenos Aires! ! !

p.s. sorry forgot my camera but photos to come soon!
