Hello all from Beautiful Buenos Aires!!!, 
, Vina Del Mar and Los Andes 
all in Chile. Also we have been in Mendoza 
and now in Buenos Aires
, Argentina. We took a bus over the second highest mountain pass public road in the world with near peak of Aconcagua at a height of 6962 metres (22841 ft) it´s the highest any of us have been yet.
We are only now, alone to fend for ourselves, without the advice and leadership of the round-the-world travel masters Cameron and Nicole with all of us been known as "The 2 Nic´s and The Swinging D!$ks" (courtesy of Cameron and a few beers). Together we have walked a lot of city tours, ate a lot food and have consumed the odd lager or two. I have been shit on 3 times in one day by passing birds including 2 near misses on my placemat.
I also stub my toe on a curb in the middle of the street, that rights a curb in the middle of the street, so hard that the skin on the tip blew-up in the middle bothways (pic to follow). I now will be wearing flip-flops fopr a week or more till the little guy heals. Nicola has now been biten by over 20 times by mosquitos while the rest of the group may have been biten 10 times combined. 
A short time after we landed I realized that I forgot the USB cable to transfer photos from the cameras to the net; which is a vital piece of the puzzle when compiling a travel blog! This situation gave me a wonderful opportunity to pratice my espanola in the IT field, luckily two cities a couple dozen stores later we found a place that sold one. I of course bartered them down to 2000 chilean pesos after jumping for joy for the fact that they knew what I was talking about and had one for sale...
So needless to say we will be posting photos tomorrow and I urge patience to those who have been asking for more photos, with the time constraints of travelling in a group and also the lack of proper equipment it was near impossible before, but will now become more regular.

woot! photos! they did not disappoint. wow, Nicola's arms are lookin' mighty...itchy. hope you have after bite.
ReplyDeletewhat's the best part about Chile so far??
Hmmm. Best thing about Chile? Very easy to adjust to South America because it was alot like home. Valparaiso was a beautiful ¨hilly¨ city, we really enjoyed it there.
ReplyDeleteArgentina: loved everything about it... could stay there forever.
Yes the mosquito bites were very itchy!!!
