Disclaimer

Very little has happened since the last blog except an excruciating bus trip. We´re taking a day stop Comodoro Rivadavia, before going onto Bariloche. Anywho, it has come to my attention that some of the contents in my blog have been a little unnerving for parents and loved ones, so I´m just going to clear a few things up. The guy in our room fiasco was most probably a dream and at worst a fellow traveller who wandered in to the wrong room momentarily, it´s an easy thing to do in a hostel. Regardless we did lock the door the following night just to make sure. Thus far we have all shared the same rooms, and all our other room mates have been really nice or at least harmless. Despite all the stories you hear about South America, we have so far felt very safe, but have been very precautious nonetheless. The locals have been very helpful, and we never purposefully wander into any place that seems remotely dodgy. Transport can occasionally be an issue, because they do drive quite recklessly, but thus far we have taken a total of three taxis, and only the first was especially frightening. Despite the scary driving, road fatalities do not appear to be sky high, and the buses that we have been on have been especially safe. If some things that I write sound a bit scary, it´s probably just exaggerated (not fabricated) to make it a slightly more interesting story. To assure you how tame we are, our ´big night´ the other night consisted of us drinking two bottles of wine and playing oh hell (a card game) in our dorms. So don´t worry too much about us! We´re really too lame to be in any real danger. You guys are probably at a higher risk of dying from thirst over there from what I hear of the drought.
Keep hydrated yo!
