Diary Of A Gringo: October 2006
http://diaryofagringo.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Diary Of A Gringo. Friday, October 27, 2006. Whales, seals and sea-sickness. THERE'S ONLY one real reason to come to Puerto Madryn - to visit the Peninsula Valdes, which hosts some cool wildlife. It is for that reason I have found myself at Los Choiques Hostel ('The Ostrich', I think). My day trip starts at 8am. It's an early start for me after Buenos Aires, and I'm still digesting a weird pizza I had last night. The guys on my trip (a little mini-bus of us - oh, being a tourist! The long, empty road.

Diary Of A Gringo: My Last Adventure
http://diaryofagringo.blogspot.com/2007/03/facing-prospect-of-boring-week-in.html
Diary Of A Gringo. Tuesday, March 06, 2007. Facing the prospect of a boring week in Pretoria or Jo’burg pre-flying home I decided to head out on one last mini-adventure before returning to the UK…. I GASPED as I checked my bank account online for the first time in nearly a month. “That’s even less money than I thought I had! 8221; I said out loud to no-one in particular. I realized that with no money and no mysterious benefactor (unlike Pip in. Still, I had my mission. I decided to head up to Zimbabw...

Diary Of A Gringo. Friday, February 23, 2007. I travel round the coast of South Africa reunited with and rejuvenated by my girlfriend Laura.

She flew into Cape Town where I had been waiting for two days to meet her, staying at the Ashanti Lodge. I had to wait another two hours for her as the flight was delayed&...

Diary Of A Gringo: November 2006
http://diaryofagringo.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Diary Of A Gringo. Monday, November 27, 2006. The charming little town of Tupiza, where we started the Salt lake tour. The wild west type valleys we had to navigate through. Michele and Lynn in the back of the Jeep. Franklin, a boy in one of the TINY towns we stopped at. Clive on a photo mission. Ahh, lots of nice reflections abound. A strange light blue lake. What's it called again? Geisers. Dangerous to jump over. Back a little, back a little. The bizarre 'rock tree'. We slept on salt beds. THE TOUR do...

Diary Of A Gringo: January 2007
http://diaryofagringo.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Diary Of A Gringo. Saturday, January 27, 2007. A short visit to Australia. Hanging out in Sydney, visiting Will in Newcastle and being in the land of Oz for 'Australia Day'. I FLEW with LAN from Santiago to Sydney. It was an unremarkable trip. I sat next to a Brazilian called Bruno, who was travelling to Brisbane to study English. The entertainment program was pretty limited. I played 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Seven times but never got above 32,000, damnit! I also watched a film called. In fact tho...

Diary Of A Gringo: Cape Town
http://diaryofagringo.blogspot.com/2007/02/cape-town.html
Diary Of A Gringo. Thursday, February 08, 2007. I AM in Cape Town awaiting the arrival of my girlfriend Laura, who flies in tomorrow from London Town. Exciting stuff. But not as exciting as the fact that today, for the first time ever, I used a razor to shave rather than my electric shaver, which is officially lost as I hinted at in my last blog. I can now add this shaving experience to the new sensations of altitude sickness and jet-lag which I have experienced on this trip. By the boy Doyvesto-, you kn...

Diary Of A Gringo: Back in South Africa
http://diaryofagringo.blogspot.com/2007/02/back-in-south-africa.html
Diary Of A Gringo. Monday, February 05, 2007. Back in South Africa. I return to SA and head south to Cape Town. Along the way I decide to pop into Lesotho, the Kingdom in the Sky. AFTER FIVE years I'm back in the Republic of South Africa. Was a 13 hour flight from Sydney and I watched toooooooooo. Many in-flight movies including. The Queen, The Last King Of Scotland. I even got to watch. Snakes On A Plane. The addition of watching that film in context made it even more super-gripping than ever! This time...
