The Blogger's Choice Awards are up and running and the best travel blog category's showing up a few weird and wonderful blogs. You might remember the Lost Girls who have their RTW journey blogged in (financial) detail: they're running in the top 5 at the moment, as is the Pickled Eel--a random collection of posts from a middle-aged Aussie who's done a pack of traveling with the air force and the foreign affairs wing of the government.
But right at the front of the pack now in this zany list of amateur-blogs-turned-slightly-famous is a blog from a youth hostel in Buenos Aires. It goes way beyond simple promotion for a hostel and patchily into a tourist guide for BA: half in English, half in Spanish with a dash of tango and skydiving thrown in.
We will be rooting for any of our travel blog stars that make the cut.

Youngin Europe handed out their own travel blog awards today:
We at Youngin Towers have decided to start our own travel blog awards.
So the winners of Youngin Europe's `We Reckon This Blog Is Ace Awards' (WRTBIAA), in no particular order, in no particular categories, having been adjudicated by no judges, this morning.
Congratulations to all. Afterparty will be at our local boozer, the Faltering Fullback, in 10 minutes, hope to see you there.
Needless to say, we are instant fans of the worldwide Ace Travel Bloggies, too bad we couldn't make it to the afterparty--next year.]]>
