>>We are going on an adventure

I am rediculously excited by what I am about to announce:

We booked our flights to Argentina!!

Johan and I have been planning a trip to South America for a while, and after much deliberation about the possibility of traveling to Brazil, Chile or Peru, we finally settled on Argentina. A country jam-packed with interestig culture, natural wonders and great food, Argentina turned out to be the perfect South American backpacking adventure (that is what we will be doing). We were intrigued by the culture of tango and cowboys off-course, but I think it is the beautiful landscapes and open spaces we are really after. Stretching all the way from the Amazon to almost Antarctica, this country is enormous, and although we would have loved some more time to see everything there is to see, we had to settle for only 5 destinations. First up is Buenos Aires for city culture and tango. The second place is Iguazu Falls, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, and bordering on Brazil. The third magical place will be Mendoza, where we will hopefully be able to enjoy some good steaks and wine. We will then travel down to Bariloche, Switzerland in South America. We will comlpete our circle route with El Calafete, to visit the Perito Moreno glacier before returning back to Buenos Aires.  We plan to travel there in November, which is also the time when most of the Jacaranda trees in Buenos Aires will be in full bloom. I think I might have to invest in a wide-angle lens for my camera, because the epicness, I have a feeling, will just be too much! I will also be blogging our adventure right here, so there is another thing to look forward to:-))) Eeeeek, can't wait!!!
