Espacia Suites. Buenos Aires

After breakfast brought on cue without request, we, Greg the Aussie and me headed to the city on the train. I have to pay for shipping Suzy back to London Heathrow Airport and get the air waybill the get out of customs card for Suzy when I go to collect her from London.
I first go to a bank to cash some travellers cheques and then to the freight company to get the bill and final price. It was ...

... listed. So in box B3 of this page (which corresponds to where I live) about 10 different buses are listed. Step #3: Know your destination address, find the page, grid location, and see what buses go through that area and see which bus is the same as one that goes to your origination. In the back of the book each bus is located with its route so you can figure out in which direction you must take the bus. Does this make ANY sense!? I promise if I ...

... of which we cycled through (including BA's answer to Hyde Park). All the parks are filled with literally hundreds of dogs being watched over by the crazy "dog walkers" - basically people that spend all day babysitting dogs, walking up to 12 at a time and just sitting with them in parks. It's not an outrageous concept I admit but the sheer volume of dogs in the city was quite amusing. I don't think I saw one bit of **** though, so I guess ...

... Have attended a vibrant tango show and had an exciting visit to a guacho ranch! The food, wine and entertainment was outstanding! I ended up singing the Canadian version of "This Land Is Your Land" with the talented ...

... town. I was conscious of not seeing or doing anything touristy as I wanted to save this for my time with my family later in the week. We ended up in Recoletta, one of the richest and trendiest parts of BA, which it later turned out was where my family were staying for the week. We strolled around and I learned a bit and I observed the more well-to-do of Buenos Aries society and then went to a bar to watch Boca Juniors (the most (in) famous team in ...

... center is similar to San Francisco- with the hustle and bustle Monday through Friday but on the weekends is quiet and left to the tourists. I like it so much more during the week- when all the action hits! :) There is even a famous cemetery in the center, which happens to be Evita's final resting place along with countless war heroes and politicians. The cemetery is one like I have never seen- and it was pretty neat to see how the ...

... between 4-7 dollars), and if you share it with friends, it's even better. The subway closes before midnight, and buses run all night but less frequently.             If it weren't for the coin issue in Buenos Aires, the bus system would be the most comfortable way to travel. It's slower than the subte, but if you can get a seat, its more relaxing and you can stare out the window and observe the city passing by. But like I said, the modena (coin) issue. The buses only ...

... down south. The second visit in 1982 pre-emanated the Falklands War with Britain. Oh no! In Basil Fawlty style, don't mention the war! Having grown up in the UK at time of the Falklands, my memories are of newspapers with 60 point font page headlines and news footage of big ships going down, but I never really delved deeper to find out what it was all about. Surprisingly, most Argentines I met are not overly fussed by the whole ordeal. Owing to their remote southern latitude and ...

... You think I am lucky? I tried 5 different companies. I was almost giving up when one guy told me Via Bariloche is where you want to go to get your ticket. Was he an angel??? I head there right away. It was 8:30pm. There was a huge line up to get to the ticket seller. I saw the second ticket seller who is not doing anything. I was wondering why people don´t go to him. I cut in there. He was really happy ...

... to be one of the best wines we've had since leaving London.

As the locals say, "delicioso!" ;)



When we got back to the restaurant we were seated right away and while Olly & I got stuck into the barbecued meats, Katie was happy that the veggie (i.e. salad!) options were pretty good too.
