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…
Heading South
Finally after two days in Puerto Natales we are making the trip south, our next stop should be Antarctica! Its been great cruising the fjords, but we are all now wanting to get to the main course of this trip…
Lost in the Fjords

Lake Titicaca
After a long day at Machu Picchu, I had another travelling day to get to Puno on the shores of lake Titicaca (all the teenage boys can laugh). So to make the days travel a little more interesting, I took…
