Don Antonio Posada Colonia del Sacramento

... gearriveerd in het hostel was alles weer goed. Heb een prima kamer,4 persons mixed dorm, met tot nu toe 1 roommate. Ontbijt is goed te doen en internet is gratis. Plus het is ongeveer 1 minuut lopen naar de taalschool waar ik de komende 2 weken spaanse les heb. Ik kon daar gelijk de maandag morgen aan de bak voor hablar español.

Ik zit in een klas met 3 personen en het gaat tot nu toe wel aardig. Gistermiddag nog even het centrum van Buenos Aires ingeweest om een mobiel te ...

... we were looking at a $90 taxi fare to the airport. We headed to Puerto Madero again. We knew that this was a more expensibçve area but we had been told to look out for a Palalleras (which is an all you can eat BBQ style eating place) and the Casino. We found both.

We took down her contact details and promised we would say in touch and consider visiting her in Brazil. Not being a big fan of zoos and watching animals destined to live out their days in ...

... time? Would I need my passport for that? The funny thing is, I really didn't care about getting home, it was all about figuring out how to finish off the rest of my trip without my passport! I glanced again at my bag - having just done a fresh load of laundry the other day, my bag was re-packed just this morning. If the moneybelt was in the bag, it wasn't anywhere obvious, and couldn't be hidden anywhere. I distinctly remembered ...

I live with a family I hear but often don´t see, a scrawny dog called Happy who has bulging eyes a Boston Terrier would die for, a Siamese cat called Patricia that sometimes sleeps with me and likes to park herself in between my legs! If that´s not all there is also a fluffy cat that has a tiny head and a body that Fatty Arbuckle would have been proud of ...

After a good old walk around we headed back to the hotel to relax, with me continuing to read my latest book which I'm really enjoying, called "Map of Bones" and Katie taking an hour's 'siesta'...
