Saying goodbye to Argentina My last meal in Argentina was filete rellena. It couldn’t have been a more fitting final meal to see me off from this fantastic country. The waiter brought me this ridiculously huge steak. The sheer size and scale of the thing was beyond my comprehension. I knew immediately I was in …
It didn’t take long at all. We climbed off the night bus into Salta at around 11:00. We knew we couldn’t check in to our room until 13:00 but flew by the place we were staying to drop our backs off. Rather than just grabbing breakfast at a local confiteria, Maria who we were staying …
Travelling west across Argentina It has been great staying in Puerto Iguazu for a week, even if things didn’t go exactly as planned. Since we left Barcelona, we’ve had a manic few weeks.
