Palermo Hollywood to Ministro Airport to New York JFK to London Heathrow to Stockwell to Sintra to Kings Cross to Hull. A few continents and medicated (Xanax) hours of flying. Feeling a little dazed and culture shocked after a brilliant trip. All respect to David who turned out to be the best international bad boy companion and greatest mate I could have wished for, home again....onwards and upwards.
Tonight is the last night in Argentina. Weird, it does not seem like we've been away over a month. Matt is meeting us and taking us out. Hopefully this will involve flaming hunks of meat and ice cold beers.
Long journey at dawn from El Bolson to Buenos Aires. We are now safely settled in a ponce hotel call Five Cool Rooms after being on the road for 36 hours.
Finally got oursleves a car and drove south for a few days. Literally a load of one horse towns surounded by the Andes. Condors over head etc. Feels a bit like the end of the world here.
New Year in Baraloche the gateway to Patagonia in some Asado joint we ate tons of meat and then crashed a party back at the Hotel Edelweiss which contained the only truly drunk Argies we´ve met on this trip so far. The air and the water and the views here are incredible. It´s like an extreme Lake District.
Couple of quiet days in Bahia Blanca waiting for an autobus to Patagonia. The kid in the record shop played us an acoustic version of ´Death, Blood, Fire´ by Norways finest Black Metalers Emperor which was almost worth coming all this way to hear. Bahia Blanca is off the tourist trail (it´s like an Argentine Plymouth) but cool to spend a bit of time in a real Argentine city away from the backpackers.
In the wilds of Patagonia so no connection that will allow pictures. Will sort this out in Buenos Aires in the next day or so. Sorry for the lack of updates but keep checking.
