For those who are not familiar with the idea this question sounds like an offer for a one-night stand. You will find out what it really is all about when you try it yourself or by reading this post for the beginning.

     After six weeks of travelling we needed to slow down and take a short brake. We’ve found a perfect place to enjoy this. It was a small town surrounded by high mountains.

     When you approach a glacier you feel as if you are travelling back in time. It’s almost as if you walked on ice on which the dinosaurs and mammoth had walked on million years ago. The impression is breathtaking!

     So far we’ve had good luck with the weather. The sun was usually shining during the day, the rain was coming at nights and the clouds occurred when we were going through the country on the bus. Unfortunately this time it was different.

     Drinking mate is as popular in Argentina as drinking tea in Poland or, as some would say, in England. You’ll meet people having mate together on many different occasions: at home, while preparing asado (I’ll write about that some time later), during a friends’ meeting or even when driving a car.

     Ushuaia calls itself the end of the world because it’s the southernmost city on our globe. We asked why it is claimed so if you can easily see that Puerto Williams in Chile is even more south on the map, but the answer we got was that the latter one is only a port.

     Whales, orcas, black-and-white dolphins, sea lions, guanacos and penguins. Those are just a few  examples of the fauna you can see in Peninsula Valdés, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage. The best time to visit the area is between June and December as during this time the majority of animals are present there.

     When planning the trip we thought about what we would like to experience during our travel. One of the ideas was to do things we’ve never tried before. Such an opportunity, that gave us a bit of adrenaline, occurred in Puerto Madryn.

     When we started our trip on December 1st we knew that this year’s Christmas will be different for us. In Poland we always spend it together with our families enjoying barszcz, pierogi and the unique atmosphere of the Christmas Eve. In Argentina we experienced something new.

     Before coming to Buenos Aires the connotations I had with this city were the tango and the song Boskie Buenos performed by the Polish pop singer Justyna Steczkowska in one of the popular TV song contests. Quite funny is the fact that this song is not at all about Buenos.
