San Martin de los Andes

When Cam and I were online before at the bus depot in San Martin Craig was looking after our bags outside because he was too sick for computer screens, while he was out there people kept giving him pieces of paper with places to stay for real cheap on them. We thought it looked pretty sweet only we couldn´t really work out where the places were so we just went to the hostels listed at the information centre. Turns out all the hostels in San Martin are full. So we walked for ages trying to find this place and it turns out that it´s just an extra room at these peoples house. It´s real sweet though and the lady is real nice and speaks a wee bit of english, so that mixed with our wee bit of spanish got us a real neat self-contained unit type thing at their house with our own kitchen and bathroom for only 15pesos each a night. Saving us each about 18pesos a night! Such a bargain and way better than a dorm room.

Tomorrow we´re off to a place called Nuequen for a couple of nights. We don´t know much about it apart from that there´s meant to be a really big dinosaur there. I think maybe it´s the biggest in the world. And I also think it´s just a replicar but that it was found there. I´m also fairly certain it´s called gigantisaurus. Which I like. It´s on our way back to Buenos Aires, a bit under half the way back. It´ll be sweet once we´re back because a) Marco will be there and b) I can post some more sweet photos, mainly of us jumping off things into different ice-cold lakes.

Craigs sleeping at the moment, he´s feeling way better now than this morning. Cam thinks it´s just some 24hour bug. I think he´s probably right. Cam and I are doing some shopping, I´m just so happy to back in a city that I could stay out all night. It´s fun because it´s 7.30pm and all the shops are still open. I´ve ruined all my clothes camping and now need whole new outfits. Yus!

Ok, well I´ll post again in a few days from Buenos Aires with some rad pics.

also while in australia we got bed bugs. have you had any of them? i suggest you stay away from them. they suck. i have about 200+ bites and they are about as itchy as chicken pox. maybe more. the good thing is they take a few days to show up and only came up when we got back, so we didn't have an itchy holiday
