After 2 months of living the high life, the time has come for us to pack up our rucksacks and hit the road.
We're really excited to be moving on, not least as we're heading to the 'end of the world' Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego. Of course we wouldn't be us if we didn't cram as much in as possible, so we've built in a few stops on route: Puerto Madryn/Peninsula Valdes to (hopefully) witness killer whales snatch a few seals off the beach; and Puerto Natales/Torres del Paine/El Calafate to see the fjords, mountains & glaciars. Afterwards, we're working our way to Bolivia criss-crossing through the North of Argentina & Chile, with a little detour to Rio from Santiago - unfortunately we've missed Carnival but we're sure to have fun nevertheless.
We are a little sad to be leaving though as we've had a great time here - despite our little robbery. It's been great having an apartment - you don't realise how tiring being constantly on the move and living out of a rucksack is until you stop and unpack. School's been good too, though we're a long way off speaking the lingo - perhaps we'll get better with practice...
In honour of our last week, we've made an effort to be tourists and have finally gotten around to seeing (most of) the sights. We also went to the Broadway equivalent here to see 'La Tanguera' - a musical tango spectacular, as well as to 'La Bombonera' to watch an uninspiring Boca Juniors draw with Rosario.
So that's it for now, hopefully our next update will be full of interesting tales and photos?!
Hasta luego...!
