So we arrived in Buenos Aires after a 17 hour bus journey during which we were given some digusting catfood type sausage think with an egg in the middle and ice cold red wine and were sat next to the air conditioner unit and the toilet so we couldn´t hear the films and it stank. Got off the bus and managed to navigate our way to the Subte on whi...

After Iguazu Falls the next stop was BA. To get to BA we had to go on the best 17hr bus journey of our lives. As a result of there being only 4 tickets left on the LEITO of all LEITOs we had to settle for second best. However this bus was no disappointment. We had champagne, whiskey, wine, 4 dvds (including Colin bleedin Farrell (a fiend for the...

24th Mar - 4th April Days 55 - 66 Argentina Our entry point to South America was Sao Paulo, a metropolis of a city with a skyline that just keeps on going, it`s dauntingly big. 13m people are spread out over this financial hub of Brazil, and after wandering the streets for a day, we were ready to leave the city behind. For me, I wouldn´t choose ...

Ok guys its the moment you have all been waiting for... as i kno most of you probably wont read this im guna try and sum it up in one word, then one sentence and finally the real details. Buenos Aires in a word: Sweaty In a sentence: Amazing nightlife, beautiful buildings, hot women and very cheap beer. Ok so we arrived early on tuesday morning ...

A ritroso, un breve racconto della nostra esperienza a Buenos Aires, ma prima alcune impressioni sulla città. Bellissima!! E' grande, caotica, vivace, divertente, interessante, solare... forse non è bellissima dal punto di vista estetico,forse un poco sporca, ma sicuramente una delle città più stimolanti che abbia visto. E i portenos sono verame...

Oops, been a while since we updated this, have a bit of catching up to do! I think we left off in Uruguay eating BBQ´d prawns... well the next day it was time to move on and unfortunately we woke to torrential rain. We waited for a while for it to stop but when we couldn´t wait any longer we put on our raincoats, loaded ourselves and our packs o...

Buenos Aires the capital of Argentina with a population of 4 to 12 million. We stayed in the Milhouse hostel. Real party hostel with loads of Irish and loads of drinking to be done. Good laugh and the staff are sound, the facilities are all good but we didn´t get to much sleep while we were there. In the three nights we stayed there the earliest...

After 25 hours, four stopovers and what seemed like 9 consecutive breakfasts, I had finally arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It had been a long time coming, although I did manage to sleep a lot of the way after succesfully staying awake for most of the previous two nights in the attempt to make the journey less painful which worked an absolut...

I love Buenos Aires. I am not a city person. But this place is special. I truly feel at home here. I am quite certain I will return someday. Arrived on a Saturday morning after yet another 18 hour bus ride from Puerto Madryn. This bus ride was easier though. Made friends with the "staff" (steward guy and 2 drivers) who invited me down to the "co...

We got into Buenos Aires on St. Patty's Day and walked around for awhile searching for a place to stay. Not only was it St. Patty's day, but Roger Waters was also playing. We finally found accommodations after we hit up 4 or 5 hostels and a few hotels as well. We met some Irish guy and went down to an area of town where they had the roads fenced...

Morgan and I arrived mid week in Buenos Aires getting ready for Morgan's departure back home. He wasn't able to get his flight changed so he had to fly from Buenos Aires to Montevideo and then back to Buenos Aires to Miami and then finally to Houston. We didn't really do too much before he left. We did go have drinks with Jesse's stepsister's fr...

Whilst in Quito, many people had thought it strange that I was spending US$600 to fly all the way down to Buenos Aires (BA) only to work my way back up to close to where I had begun. I had smugly informed them that this was because I wanted to save the Inca Trail up to Machu Picchu for near the end of my trip, as it was going to be so good! So, ...

After months of planning, date changing, shopping and numerous going away parties we finally took off. Arrived in Buenos Aires via brief stops in London (more drinks with Anne and John) and Sao Paulo. Travel monopoly was bought in Heathrow Duty Free which has proved to be the best purchase ever made. Liam amazingly survived the long haul flight....

Today we leave Buenos Aires aaahhhh! Michelle is more upset that she couldn't shop more. She even tried to throw out her sleeping bag and trekking boots to make more room for clothes, but Liam convinced her that these items will become essential as we move on. We are both now fluent in Spanish... yeah right we are! Liam speaks it because Michell...

Hello! I am in Buenos Aires, i just love this city, it is a great place, and i don´t want to leave tomorrow. I have been around the centre and saw some great stuff, but the best is definitely the feel of the place, everything is nice i am in love with BA! Yesterday i went to a drum concert, it lasted two hours, and it was amazing, the guys were ...

BA for christmas - it was my fourth visit to Buenos Aires and I still love the place - especially so as this time my money was worth about 8 times more than when I last went - last time was just before the currency crash. I flew in and checked in to the Milhouse hostel which was a really nice friendly hostel right in the middle of town. Given th...

As we approached Buenos Aires in early morning, we realized this was not an ordinary city. Not since Mexico City have we encountered such a large expense of urban sprawl, the freeways criss-crossed, the apartment buildings, mostly dirty and grey, were endless, and the air was foggy, perhaps from the ocean, perhaps from smog pollution, perhaps bo...

After finally packing up my life back home and putting everything else on hold, it all really hit home once on the way to Sydney Airport wondering what haven´t I done or what have i forgot, only to think that oh well whats done is done and time to get excited and look forward to the adventure that is head. Areolinas Argintinas was our first exp...

11-12-06 We landed in Buenos Aires and took a taxi to the Milhouse Hostel, on our way we got our first shock! The driver was crazy!!! He drove 140 km/h, he had never heard about signal lights and if there was a car infront of him, it didn't matter to him cause he'll just push the car to the side... Thats how we did a little accident when he kiss...

Other travellers at mellow yellow recommended that we stay in the Milhouse hostel located in Buenos Aires city center. We told ourselves that we wouldn't stay longer than a few days as we didn't want to get caught up in the party atmosphere, as what happened in Rio. So on the second day we decided to book a 10 day trip to Patagonia, an area in t...

Buenos Aires, the Paris of South America, is the nicest South American Capital I have visited so far. Very green and a mix of european and modern architecture. So what did I do in BA? We stayed at the Milhouse Hostel, which has quite a well deserved party reputation. So besides doing some sightseeing and eating great steaks, I enjoyed the famous...

Buenos Aires - Part 1- Arrival Summary - the flight was OK and after a long bus ride, we found our hostel. Read on for overly descriptive version of events.... My feeble research into the flight time amounted to the following logic. Buenos is our half way house to Auckland. Since New Zealand is on a 12 hour time difference, it follows that Bueno...

OK I know it has been a long time since we last wrote an entry. However you would only have to spend a couple of nights in this city to understand why! The phrase "24 hour city" only begins to describe the vibe and atmosphere around Buenos Aires. We got here 2 and a half weeks ago but it seems like 2 and a half life-times. I am writing this from...

Met up again with Gustavo and Bruno in the Argentinian capital, and had a great few days there. They had already met loads of people in their hostel - mostly Brazilians - and the group grew as we moved to another, more "happening" hostel. Spoke nearly all Portuguese there, and continued to learn more slang and swear words which I then put in to ...
