Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand… April 30, 2008

In a city of utter contrasts – dazzling beauty and abject poverty – it is fitting (if flippant) that here in Rio I´ve had my very very highest (literally) and total lowest moments of the trip so far. I like it when things can only get better, so let´s start at the bottom and work [...]

Fabulous Floria April 23, 2008

Iguazu kept us spellbound for another couple of days. We made a few more forays to the falls; we just couldn´t resist getting one more glimpse of the Garganta del Diablo, and spent a couple more nights having fun at the hostel. But before too long, it was time for us to embark on our [...]

No photo ability April 20, 2008

Well, either it´s me or the computer but the rest of the photos just won´t upload. Arrgh! And I´m afraid the sun is out and the pool is beckoning so í´ll have to leave this to the next rainy day in Brazil. Sarrrreeeee. xxx

Smug April 19, 2008

Smug? Smug? That was me, gloating about the glorious sunshine whilst you were all knee-deep in snowdrifts. And what do I get for it? A big fat rainy slap in the face, that´s what. I´m writing this from the Hostel Inn in Puerto Iguazu, a jungle town that´s just a few kilometres from the Iguazu Falls, the [...]

The inside track April 15, 2008

There are lots of lovely things about Buenos Aires. The weather for the first few days we were here. The butter-soft, implausibly delicious steak we sampled on Friday. The rich and varied history and culture reflected in the old-style glam building facades. The don´t-come-home-til 8am so-glam-it-hurts clubs. Stunning suburb Tigre on a river delta an hour´s [...]

I heart BA by night… April 11, 2008

I’m writing this in a boiling room in Milhouse hostel with a stonking hangover, but I’ll persevere nevertheless. I know. I’m so heroic…
Since the last post we’ve continued to enjoy all this lovely city has to offer.  We spent a day in Palermo – the posh bit – and it was gorgeous. The weather was still [...]

Don´t cry for me… April 8, 2008

No. Seriously. Like, don´t cry, despite the tackiness of this blog title. Because this is WAY fun.  I hear that you guys en Inglaterra  (as they say here) had some snow this week. Well, Buenos Aires literally couldn´t be further from that. The temp is hovering around the early 80s and we´re already looking super-tanned. [...]

Fugly Spice April 3, 2008

Ahhhh… my lovely Essex girls and I had a gorgeous goodbye meal at our fave li’l Italian, the Bel Sit. And, I got the best present EVER – a t-shirt made by the uber-talented Red Ana featuring all of us at our very fugliest. And a two-headed Geri Halliwell. Despite the beeeyootiful faces we’re all [...]

Card April 1, 2008

 Just a quicky today, mainly due to the fact that I’m still actually in London, and although I’ve been doing lots of uber-fun things, including attending Jen and Alec’s wedding and Lou and Ben’s housewarming party, I know that you guys want the real deal. And that’s info and pics of BA. Lakeside shopping centre, [...]
