Argentina - Bariloche

The Capital of Argentina's Lake District..... Funny really because although this place is really picturesque, as i have never visited our very own........



 Can you guess who really didnt want to go on a 33km Bike ride???

Memories can fade But a Picture will Last Forever...

Throughout my adult life I´ve always wanted to go traveling. To see and experience the world i am apart of... I am luckily enough to be doing this now..
The other thing I have wanted for about the same period of time is a Tattoo a Sleeve possibly spreading onto my Chest and Back. Only Problem I have found is like most people, Knowing that exact piece to have, that will stay with me for the rest of you life.... I know its going to be a floral piece mostly due to my Grandma´s (Ba´s) Obsession with Gardening...
But in a similar style to the classic Jean Paul Gaultier tattooed sailor advert or the Levis poster that used to be behind the counter in the Derby Store...

So throughout this adventure i am going to create a visual brainstorm, for possible inspiration for this timeless piece. That will be apart of me forever... Here are some of the 1st pictures.





Argentina - El Calafate - Glaciar Perito Moreno

There isn't a whole lot to say about the town it self. For once the Lonely Planet book got that bit right!
1 hours drive out of town is a whole different story! Breath taking........




What´s wrong with this picture??


The Most Rewarding Picture I´ve ever taken.... To date!
i took a serious of pictures of this piece of crashing into the water.
I waited approx 50 minutes waiting for this huge piece of ice to fall.
I am so glad i didn't give up.....



When Paul Loaned us Bear Grills Series One Box set There was a DVD on Patagonia
He Spoke about a Moss that no matter what the weather was highly flammable.... Well Prav Grills Found an abundance of it...... so i put it to the test

Bear Grills DOES NOT LIE....... it really works!
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
This experiment was carried out, with the most strictest of regulations and in the correct environment......

Argentina - Puerto Madryn


This is what happens when you rent city bikes and take them on dirt roads.

The Battle

This was Awesome Drop!


We Have Pigeons They Have Green Parrots.....


Been Given Challenge by someone me met.... to consume 50 different types of Beer throughout our Adventure.... Well its a Start & these are 975cl Bottles...

Some hippy man doing yoga, playing the flute & meditating at 8am...I found it interesting & very much relaxing....

Something so special was - whilst  we were sipping on our Super-size me beers on the beach, we where also watching whales play in the Bay.......

Because of the safety issues we decided against taking anything too expensive - as this obviously increases the risk of getting robbed! However I now really wish I had bought an SLR Digital Camera similar to this one....

This is as close as i got to seeing an Orca in the wild...... I was very much disappointed.

Christmas Dinner???

OOOOuuuuuuch!!!!!!!! Can You Feel The Burn??



Shipwrecked!

Whale watching was too short (for my Liking) But Sweet....

This piece caught my eye......

Argentina - The City Called Buenos Aires

This Place holds 1/3 of the entire population of Argentina.. It has so much character and naturally a lot to offer. Like any Major City though, unless you are some how truly involved in the city i.e. work, study or lucky enough to know a resident with similar interests, All you can do is just try as hard as you can to do what the locals do in order to try and get a true feel for the place.

 Street Art is Everywhere... i´ll be showing some of the pieces that caught my eye...
 The nicest Steak I have Ever had...... so far in my LIFE portions of meat here are HUGE
