Listen, Mr Rodoviaria Buteco Man. 31 hours on a bus, plus a 5 hour wait with nothing to do but contemplate the next 10 hours you have to spend on a bus makes me want to drink beer. I don't care that its only 8:30am. Now stop looking at me like that and serve me [...]
I'd had a brilliant couple of days in Belo Horizonte hanging out with another Brazilian friend I'd met in New Zealand, Ricky. He'd shown me around to a few places including a wicked sunset spot, and told me about other cool places to check out whilst he was at work. I stayed with him and [...]
When my baby, when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio. De Janeiro… Now see how long it takes you to get that damn tune out of your head. Ha. Yes, it could be something akin to legal torture but I'm sorry, if you're gonna come on this journey with me you have [...]

Well goodbye then budget, it was nice knowing you. I only got to Brazil three days ago and already I've managed to cane over R$300 (reais) which is about £110. Then again I did get to the national park and promptly hand over R$180 for a helicopter ride over the falls or Cataratas Do Iguaçu [...]
You know when you have a puppy and you've left the puppy all day to go to work and you come home and open the door and the puppy is waiting for you and it's really excited and it's trying its hardest to contain its excitement but it doesn't know what to do with itself [...]
Well I had big plans for Paraguay, me. There were places I wanted to check out, I intended to go camping and walking an all kinds of things you have to do outside but Paraguay had other ideas and dumped a ton of water on my parade. I did attempt to wander round Asunción in [...]
Ah my very first bus ride in South America and shit, do Argentina know how to lay on a bus ride. They have five comfort levels ranging from your basic common or garden bus right up to fully reclining seats that'd have Qantas' best first class efforts hanging their heads in shame. I opted for [...]
I've been staying in Argentina's capital for three weeks on account of the fact I've been waiting for mail to arrive. I am now bored of waiting for mail to arrive so I'm outta here tomorrow but here are a few things I've been up to in Buenos Aires aside from sitting on the roof [...]
