I’ve totally forgotten about the England game, and while I really should be moving on, it’s time to hit the Irish bar once again to watch the match. Luis is joining, and at his suggestion I’m leaving tonight to accompany him to his friends flat in San Pedro, a small town off the gringo trail …

What becomes of the broken hearted
As hostels go, this has got to be one of the quietest on record. Quiet as in I’m the only person staying here. Feeling like death, I simply lie in my wasted private room and mess around on the internet for the whole day. That is until I decide to go out. What did you …

Vino!
I booked a wine tour late last night, because if there is one thing you need to do in Mendoza it’s sample some offerings from their second biggest export. This means I am up with the lark (oil is the first) to venture into some local vineyards and convince myself I’m not saucing my head with refined …

Saying goodbye
So this is it then. Cheerio Paddy. The next time we meet may well be on another continent, or not at all if he has his way. Still I can see the tears in his eyes as we hug our goodbyes, and catch a sniff of the nose. Or that may have been me. All …

Time to leave
Languishing for much of the day at the hostel, only to venture out to eat some crap Chinese. Or was that yesterday? I’ve firmly decided to move on tomorrow, as much as I’m really enjoying Santiago and it’s inhabitant(s). Unfortunately this also means the end of Paddy and Jameson’s adventures together, as he has foolishly chosen to …

More football booze
Waking up in a strange bed is pretty standard when you’re traveling. I basically do it every day. Waking up in a strange bed with someone else in it though is pretty decent. Unless of course you’ve been off your head the night before and turn to stare aghast at the behemoth you’re lying next …

Let’s talk about sex?
Talking about sex on a first date usually isn’t the way I’d go, but it appears that this is the course the conversation is taking. I’d imagine it’s up there with the dating no-no’s such as moaning about an ex, drinking far too much or slipping them a rufi. Now I’m not complaining, because if …

Datebook
I’ve discovered to my surprise and indeed amazement that the girl I shouted “FACEBOOK” at on Friday has added me and is a rather talkative young lady. This makes a pleasing change. I’ve therefore been lying on my bed drinking plenty of water and chatting to her for much of the day, as I don’t …

Forcing it
Paddy’s come in eventually after coping a feel with one of the Norweigens, however he was told “I think you should leave now” when he tried to reach third base. He did a hell of a lot better than I did last night, and all I have to show for it is a sore head. …

FACEBOOK!!
I understand this is getting repetitive but it will do when the football is on and we’re in a capital city. Gone the discomfort of wearing several layers of clothes and enduring a shriveled penis, here to remain piping hot showers, good looking locals and entertainment galore. It’s the turn of England today, needing a …
