I need to get these last few blogs finished. My trip ended over a month ago and I'm still catching up, life gets in the way as they say! We drove out of El Chalten and back south the 214 km to the town of El Calafate. It's a rather touristy town on the shores … Continue reading Argentina 10 – Los Glaciares National Park

Argentina 8 – Nothofagus
We stayed at Nothofagus guest house and it also had the feeling of a ski lodge. It was cosy and welcoming. Nothofagus is the name of the prevalent tree in this area. The tree was weirdly familiar to me but I just couldn't place it, then one one of our walks I remembered it is … Continue reading Argentina 8 – Nothofagus
Argentina 1 – Buenos Aires
Yes, I'm behind by a long way! I have problems with the storage on my phone so it's all getting a bit stretched out. I organised the Argentinian part of our trip and factored in a lot more uncertainty than Jayne would have liked but my travelling has evolved and for me it's good to … Continue reading Argentina 1 – Buenos Aires
Bolivia 6 – The Watering Hole and the Hide
I felt much better in the morning, the hives and the bites had subsided. If anything Jaynes looked worse but she was stoic. We set off on our last day to a watering hole where we could sit in the shade and watch whatever came to drink. There were some white cattle resting in the … Continue reading Bolivia 6 – The Watering Hole and the Hide
Bolivia 5 – After affects, What We Came For!
We slept a short time. The women who look after the farm house took our clothes to wash them, we did try to rinse them but they were so muddy and smelling of swamp, it was barely possible! I found a few more ticks on Jayne. Duston and the others had several too apparently, I … Continue reading Bolivia 5 – After affects, What We Came For!
Japan – Expo, Kyoto and Samurai
The day before had been a bit of a challenge because Osaka station was soooo busy but, I got to the hostel with no issues. Tatjana and I met up in the morning after a slight mix up on the trains, weirdly not me this time but, I only had one stop. Anyway we had … Continue reading Japan – Expo, Kyoto and Samurai
Japan – Appology
Sorry folks for the delay. Tatjana and I are now in two different time zones and I just want to run a couple of posts by her before I publish them. See you soon
South Korea – Busan
We made our way to our last destination in South Korea, Busan. As we had a little time to explore we went to the South Coast and to a small island of Gadeogdo, slightly away from the city. The islands are connected by a huge necklace of bridges and this little Island was part of … Continue reading South Korea – Busan
South Korea – The Ancient City of Gyeongju
For me this place was one of the highlights of our journey in South Korea. If you live in Europe you are probably familiar with tumuli or barrows, earth and stone burial mounds. Gyeongju has approximately 150 burial mounds from the Silla period (57 BCE to 935 CE) and they are huge. It was large … Continue reading South Korea – The Ancient City of Gyeongju
South Korea – Gunsan and the Angler Fish.
We hired a car! We were told that the drivers here are aggressive but, they seemed ok to us. Luckily the car had a satnav because the apps were not great. We gave the satnav the name Doris and she had verbal diarrhea! She would tell us of every lane change, speed bump, "take care … Continue reading South Korea – Gunsan and the Angler Fish.
