Lets be honest, I couldn’t see what the fuss was about Buenos aires the first time I visited way back in 2010. It was hyped up as some amazing city, yet all I found were pickpockets, a big city and…
Penguins, Penguins, Penguins!
The last two day in antarctica were the worst and best of Antarctica. A full day of zodiac crusing and landing was cancelled due to a weather system with winds in excess of 100km/h. The mood was low that day,…
