For the bikers amongst you reading this and wondering about the whole process here - my advice is simple. Pay Sandra the 200US she charges to help you as it is worth EVERY cent to make it a NON nerve shredding experience. Here goes:<br><br>Maria at the Hotel Carly arranges a taxi for me to the airport at 8.30. I am at Petroblas by 9.15 and Javier has ...

... some photos". "Good plan" the others <br>agreed and they made their way out of the restaurant across the road to the cemetary.<br>"Do we have a plan or are we just going to meander around" asked Nadine "well I'd like to find the superman statue and see Evita's shrine" said Ben.

After a while I decided I liked it though, most people hate it at first and it is defo an acquired taste. Much better with sugar. I´m now hooked.

... tomorrow night we'll probably hang out in some corner cafes and read (and eavesdrop/people watch)... We're really excited about Sunday when we head to the bohemian part of the city (think Montrose) for their weekend outdoor market... should be fun! Michael brought his laptop and we have free wifi in our room so we'll keep you updated!

... that's all cooked up by the tour companies to justify their outrageous price hikes!<br><br>Anyway, there was no point worrying about that now, we just wanted to enjoy the game and hope we had decent seats.<br><br>We found our seats at the top level of the home fans, above the rowdy home terraces which we stood on the other day ...
