A quick update on my plans

It's something like 75 days until i leave England now. I've been thinking of my plans a bit more closely, mostly things i want to do once i arrive in Argentina.

I will keep to my original plan of going from North to South, covering as much as i can, and doing so by land. I want to board the "Tren De Las Nubes" - which translates to train of the clouds - because literally it goes through some of the highlands of the Andes throughout a 16 hour journey. This train however, stops running for the "rainy" season on November 31, I arrive in Argentina November 15.
So i will first of all be visiting the Iguazu falls for only about 5 days at most and from there making my way West towards the Andes. That's all i have planned for now, the rest of the trip will be more 'go with the flow' style, and just hitch-hike in any southern direction, eventually reaching Bariloche in Patagonia.
