    Word Lens iPhone App

    I have tried it. Pretty crazy. Obviously far from perfect but worth a go and quite entertaining as well.

    Beware Google Translate!

    So – we’re back in BA and, having honed our wilderness survival skills in Patagonia (first things first), we’re now trying to improve our Spanish. After all, there are only so many times you can say “Muy bien. Y vos?” to the doorman before he is forced to duck under the desk every time you...

    The End Of The World

    We just got back from a month in Patagonia. We've seen how the world ends: It all ends today. This is the last day of our journey through Patagonia. We have covered somewhere in the region of 5000km and now find ourselves in the southernmost city on Earth: Ushuaia. We have spent 5 weeks winding...

    Patagonia Itinerary

    We've just got back from a month in Patagonia and we ended up staying in El Bolson longer than Bariloche. Really nice vibe in El Bolson, amazing artesanal beers and ice-creams and plenty of decent hikes and bike rides around. Highly recommend. There's a bit about it on our blog below. And will...

    Top 5 things to do in BA.

    We’ve been in Buenos Aires for exactly a month. Now that it’s time to pack our rucksacks, comb our beards and set the Señor Suitcase compass to Patagonia, we thought we’d indulge in a little reflection. We’ve done many things during our first month in Buenos Aires. Swum across the Rio Plata...

    Just found out that this post has now been immortalised in a podcast dramatisation on www.bacast.com - 8 mins 15secs in - with sound FX. Hilarious!

    Pancreas anyone??

    The parts of a cow that you don't read about in the brochures: So the votes are in and I have a little under a year to work my way through an entire cow (apologies to anyone who thought it was going to be a one-sitting affair – I’m greedy, not suicidal). The challenge actually got underway just...

    Fasten Your Seatbelts! (oh there aren't any.)

    “In Buenos Aires, nothing is said to be certain except death and taxis.” The words of Benjamin Franklin – almost. Take note Alton Towers – you are being severely undercut by your Latin American cousins. For in Buenos Aires you can ride a rollercoaster every day for less than it would cost to...

    Unusual places for guests?

    Went to CostaNera Sur today. Great place to walk on a sunny day like today. Grab some street food either before or after from the multitude of parillas on wheels on the pavements outside. Other than that, try and catch Fuerza Bruta at the Centro Cultural if it's still on. It's crazier than a...

    Best Supermarket in Palermo!!

    I'd sooner dance in Disco than shop there again. Massive rip off. By contrast, we've had good experiences in the Chinos. One on Gurruchaga nr. Guatemala is good, has some useful stuff in it, and a lot cheaper than the discoteque. Señor Suitcase Our blog LIVE from BA - www.senorsuitcase.com...

    Just one more crisis

    The scaffolding on building sites seems to sum up the Argentinian mindset for me. Unlike scaffolding you see at home (UK) which is there to support the building and the daily routine of the workers onsite, the scaffolding on BA building sites just seems to be a wooden gutter on the first floor...

    Golf courses/players

    Golfers, I'm keen to get involved with some golf if anyone needs a fourth ball (or second ball). Play off 10 but would need to hire clubs. Around in BA for 6 months. Señor Suitcase Our blog LIVE from BA - www.senorsuitcase.com http://www.twitter.com/senorsuitcase - Follow Us!

    Best Arg Buses?

    What are the best Argentinian bus companies for long-distance travel down to Patagonia? Specifically Puerto Madryn. Anything to watch out for in particular? Apart from potholes. Thanks, Señor Suitcase www.senorsuitcase.com Twitter: senorsuitcase
