After a long flight via madrid we finally landed in Buenos Aires!!!! WOW What a city. It´s got a great vibe ,great people and lots of meat. On our first night we grabbed a taxi to our hostel in San Telmo and after unpacking we wandered around just to get a feel for the place.We were absolutely knackered so we went to bed early. The next morning ...

So, after Iguazu came Iguaçu. Same falls, Brazillian side. A different perspective - more panoramic. And, by The Fall, The Bird Park. Have you been to the Brazillian Bird Park? I don't think C Wilson wrote anything there. Then, Buenos Aires. A more European feeling city than any I've visited so far. Apart, probably, from the enormous 16 lane roa...

Buenos Aires is up there as one of the best cities i´ve had the pleasure to visit and the Milhouse Hostel definitely lived up to it´s party reputation. Had a wicked birthday there, met some great people, ate some great steaks and enjoyed every minute! Not going to write too much more but to the people we met, thanks for an amazing time enjoy the...

En annan sak som Maria hade hittat i guideboken var en djurpark. Buenos Aires sådan skulle vara en upplevelse utöver det vanliga! Och faktum är att jag för en gång skull måste hålla med guideboken. Jag har aldrig varit på något liknande; trots att djurparken låg mitt inne i stan var det hur stort som helst och det fanns mängder med exotiska djur...

We leave Buenos Aires after only 2 days. We figure that we will have more time here before our flight back home in November. During our last day we walk around the city to a couple of sites which all remind me of how prosperous Argentina once was. We walk through the embassy area where there are plenty of splendid buildings and designer shops. W...

The Short one and I arrived in Buenos Aires after our whale watching love-in had drawn to a close, and checked into our rented apartment, on a mission to try and blend in with the locals and live like sophisticated Portenos for 2 weeks. We were looking forward to eating in swanky restaurants, tango-ing nights away in smoke-filled milongas and ge...

This one is going to be quick -- just a brief update on current location. Yesterday morning, I left La Paz, bright and early, and the city bid me farewell with a stellar sunrise behind the mountains, illuminating Ilimani beautifully as I drove up from the city to El Alto. Wow... Needless to say, I will keep a very fond memory of La Paz. It is qu...

The final full day of my round-the-world trip has arrived. Truth said, my mind has been back in the UK for much of the last few weeks and I'm ready to return to more useful activities. Still, I head out, to the pretty (and wealthy) borough of Recoleta where red phone booths and pillar boxes lead to a tidy park and a sparkling white 18th-century ...

Hi Everyone, We finally arrived in Buenos Aires last Tuesday morning, after a five hour flight from Lima...we were exhausted! Our plan to rent an apartment for a month did not quite work out as planned, we got a taxi from the airport to the address of an apartment block where we were going to stay for 4 nights until our original choice apartment...

I'm in South America!!! A long flight from Dallas to Buenos Aires - 11 hours!!! But it went without incident. My seat mate asked me why I was going to Argentina, and I was really excited to tell him about my big adventure. He listened politely, asked questions, then I asked him why he was flying down here. He replied that he was going to be taki...
