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.

Saturday 25th August: Bournemouth 2 – Everton 2 Dungarvan, Ireland The second wedding in a week meant that, despite being in the company of some top top blues, the Bournemouth game was not a top priority this week. The match kicked off while we were in church so the chances of catching some Everton action, …
Saturday 18th August: Everton 2 – Southampton 1 Goodison Park, Liverpool Is right Figo lad, you never let me down. Lindsay and me are in Liverpool to see two of my best mates get married, the day before the first Everton home game of the season and, without having to ask, you box me off …
