Travelogue

Over the sea and far away

  1. And so to bed

    Argentina 2007

    Back home, being kept company by a certain Mr. Jet Lag, I write a mini-review of my time in Argentina

  2. On the art of idling

    Argentina 2007

    Of the great arts one learns during one’s student years — idling, Jedi, drinking — idling is the most useful. I put it to good use in Río Gallegos

  3. Sheikh, rattle, and roll

    Argentina 2007

    Friday night in Ushuaia, Argentina. Five travellers go in search of the nightlife in Ushuaia, and end up somewhere … shady

  4. Tierra del Fuego

    Argentina 2007

    As a child I imagined Tierra del Fuego to be filled with volcanoes. It’s not. Here’s a brief glance at that most southerly part of Patagonia

  5. Paw prints

    Argentina 2007

    Nadia and I dice with death in the hills behind the town of El Calafate. Some might say I was being melodramatic

  6. A nice cup of tea and a sit down

    Argentina 2007

    An Englishman is lost without a cup of tea. Time to find a cuppa in Welsh Patagonia

  7. Not drinking in El Bolsón

    Argentina 2007

    In a bar in El Bolsón, Río Negro province, we try a local tradition: definitely not drinking the night before the election

    Argentina 2007

    Four days of walking in San Carlos de Bariloche, in the Argentinean Lake District, finds me winning pool and feeling relaxed

  9. This is gaucho country

    Argentina 2007

    Stopping off at a gaucho’s house, Nadia and I come across something unexpected. City-living this is not

  10. Payunia, the land of volcanoes

    Argentina 2007

    We make our way through Parque Provincial Payunia, a land of volcanoes. Santiago, our guide, tells us stories of his time there

  11. When plans change

    Argentina 2007

    The highs and the lows of travelling. I like to think taking the rough with the smooth is part of the fun

  12. Cañon del Atuel

    Argentina 2007

    A trip into Cañon del Atuel in Argentina finds us watching an Argentinian gentleman working his magic on the ladies. Oh, and we manage some climbing too

  13. A condor in Mendoza

    Argentina 2007

    Nadia and I meet up in Mendoza, and explore the town. We find a condor but miss out on the albino toads

  14. Through the grasslands

    Argentina 2007

    Overnight, I took a bus from Buenos Aires to Mendoza. Through the window I saw my first great Argentinian sunset

  15. In Buenos Aires

    Argentina 2007

    A long, long flight finally sees me arrive in Argentina, two years after I left. And I have four hours to waste

  16. In Patagonia

    Argentina 2007

    For five weeks I’ll be missing from Edinburgh. Instead, you’ll find me in Argentina, heading south with a skip in my step
