Young And Stones Hotel Buenos Aires

... servings are huge - to give you an idea of costs its about 35pesos for a massive chunk of steak ($13 Aussie) then add on sides and of course the famous 1 litre bottles of beer they serve here (no complaints by the way) and your looking at walking out paying about $100 pesos ($35Aussie).<br><br>Yesterday we went to La Baco - its home of the famous soccer club and where the images of colourful corrugated iron houses originate from. To get to La Boca from San Telmo they tell you to walk ...

... seduced by TGI Fridays 2 for 1 offer. Like many other seductions you rarely get what you hope for. The 2 for 1 offer was that an adult must buy a main dish and the accompanying child must buy from the kids menu, furthemore on interrogating the waitress we found that the adult must select one of the very expensive dishes. We opted not to do this and go for burgers, the cheaper options which allowed us to choose what we wanted, but didnt meet the 2 for ...

... is far from the biggest or fanciest - some of them are unbelievable. Occasionally though there was one with a broken door or a glass display so you could see the coffins which was a bit unsettling. I think I'll go back on one of the days when there is a tour in English to get a bit more info. After I went and met one of the girls from my course at the school and had lunch with her I continued my Evita theme and went down to the Casa ...

... dulce de leche' quickly wore off for me, Jools continued to try it with new foods including chips which would make some Argentinians very proud. Having missed the opportunity to watch an Argentinian local soccer match during our first visit to Buenos Aires, we hoped to watch one upon our return to the capital. As misfortune would have it, there were no local soccer matches scheduled for our return due to the international 2010 world-cup qualifier against Venezuela. This ...

... the night showing me the "Women's' bridge" at the docks and the Law School and then through the park to see the late night action. Very thorough showing around, thank you. Some things will only fade slowly from my mind if they ever do at all. For my final evening I was determined to see some tango. I'd found another willing victim to go with me so, after various research, we settled on a show at Café Tortoni in the Centro part of BA. We chose this ...

... The area is the Boca, near the docks and which is where BsAs was born with the influx of the first Italian immigrants. When it came to buying a bike, frames with front suspension are now standard, however, I disovered that front panier racks are not to be found in Argentina. Also, there was now strength rating for rear or front panier racks and nothing comes with ...

... felt like only a few minutes, but when I glanced at my watch, 35 minutes had passed. Up next was the Evita museum, all in Spanish, which was great practice. I didn't care much for the artifacts, but the museum presented the story of her life, which I found quite interesting. I didn't realize that she died at such a young age. Sadly, all I really knew of Eva Peron beforehand is what I saw in the trailers for Madonna's ...

... and I decided to go to the pictures and watch something in english, she´s dutch!! We saw Body of Lies in a cinema in Recolata (a real fancy part of BA) and then had a walk around the local craft fair. She had heard of a really good pizz place nearby so we went in search of it. Well it wasn´t that nearby and took us ages to find after asking (well Judith asked) multi differeny people. One woman said she wouldn´t recommend it as she thought it was ...

... I'm really excited to come home... but I'll miss this city, even if it's full of people that really want my money. -My last final is tomorrow, in Spanish, which will be fine. I won't have class for over 2 months after! I leave for Peru on Sunday night at midnight. The chance of getting robbed is twice as likely there, so just imagine how I'll do! I'm extremely excited though. Wish me luck kids, hope all is well. HAPPY DIA DE PAVOOO

... in BA, but at least Tyler has one fully functional video game player that can be used. The other one was just a backup (or for me to use) anyway. If this is the biggest problem of our trip, we're in fantastic shape. <br><br>We checked into our hotel, the Broadway Suites, which is just steps away from the Obelisk. S was waiting in the lobby for us, and out travel agent, Manuela, met us just a few minutes later. We went to the hotel restaurant where we paid her, and ...
