Hi folks. As a follow up to my Wednesday post this week, I have made a short video shot in the mine in Potosi. I thought also that I'd like to include this amazing documentary I saw when I was in Bolivia about the life of children working in the Potosi Silver Mines. It turned …
Potosi, Bolivia, a pleasant enough town in the centre, but the chief reason for tourists to go is to take a tour in the silver mines in the hills that surround this town. And that’s why I stopped there. Why did I want to visit a silver mine? Well, to be honest, it was something …
The biggest South American airline, I think I am right in saying, is LAN/LATAM, and I took numerous flights with them on my South American adventure. They were overwhelming my most used airlines so I think it’s only fair that my reviews start with them. My flights with LATAM – Sydney to Santiago with a …
Howdy all, and Happy New Year! Yes, it’s been a whirlwind and incredibly busy time (just like all the time it seems to be honest) since I set foot back in Australia in early December. I managed one post since then and that was already written pretty much. I’ve been working as much as possible …
Howdy all... here I am, home safe and sound with a cold but I'll be over it sooner or later. I wrote the final post of my trip in a couple of stages, firstly in Rio before I left, and completed it on the flight from Rio homewards, hoping to publish on one of my …
Good day, morning, afternoon or evening wherever you may be from Rio de Janeiro. Yes, I have less than 24 hours left and I am in the city that needs no introduction and has at least 3 famous songs written about it. But before I got here, I went to the falls that split …
I'm in Europe! Wait, no I'm not! I'm in Bariloche, in the lake district somewhere in Northern Patagonia, Argentina. The trip is rapidly coming to a close, in fact I have less than a week before I'm on a plane back to Australia. Five days to be more precise. Tomorrow I head to Iguazu and …
Back for a second helping of Buenos Aires antics, here I am again. For a second blog that is, not for a second visit, it's all been in the one week here. Actually really the first place of note my wife and I visited in Buenos Aires was the El Ateneo bookshop. In a world …

Howdy all. Still going strong with less than two weeks left on this adventure. I made a few changes to my itinerary from this point on. I won't go all the way down to El Calafate. Instead tomorrow I overnight to Bariloche and then fly to Iguazu waterfalls next week. Can't do everything and two …
Hi all. Well, today I leave Salta on an overnight bus to the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires. I've been enjoying a few relaxing days here, I've gone out and seen a bit but really just relaxed in a nice city, very different from any I visited earlier in South America. I've had a …
