After returning from Gaiman on Friday I collected my bags and headed to the bus station for my first (16hr) bus journey to Bariloche. I booked the more expensive seats, which meant they nearly reclined fully turning them into beds. When I awoke the landscape had changed into grassy foothills and quickly turned evergreen and […]
My bus to Bariloche didn’t leave until 8pm Friday night so I thought I’d take some time to visit Gaiman a town built by Welsh settlers and famous for serving Welsh Tea in several tea rooms. Some people here even still speak Welsh. I jumped on the bus for Trelew (leaving Puerto Madryn every hour), […]
My next stop was Puerto Madryn in Patagonia travelling over 1500 miles on two flights. I was particularly excited as Patagonia is one of the main reasons that I came to South America.

I made it to Salta after 37 hours of travelling which was an eventful journey. I spent 5 hours in Madrid recreating this blog after I realised the previous one wouldn’t let me post photos (thanks to Elliot for sorting the DNS) not essential but annoying as the point it to post more photos. I […]
Today I work up at 5am, packed away my sleeping bag. Took one last look at my room and picked up my bags. I was hesitant to leave the house having left the key on my desk upstairs and I was worried I had forgotten something. Even though I had meticulously packed my bags the […]
