... of English or Ozzie company in Mendoza and Barilochie I signed up for the pub quiz where lots of different people from different hostels met up... We visited 4 pubs and a club. The pubs were a nice mix of different styles etc. The funny thing was all our American cousins stumbled and fell at the 3 pub while the Europeans went on till 6am - must admit I must be getting to old for this as Sunday was pretty much a write off...<br><br>Sunday I moved hostels to ...

... ist, vorallem durch die vielen herumstraeunenden Hunde die ueberall hinscheissen.<br>Nach dem Mittagessen sind wir wieder ins Hostel und haben erfahren dass dort eingebrochen wurde und unteranderem Flos und Joels Rucksack gestohlen wurde (mit ALLEM was sie mithatten). Nicht so chillig... Die Polizei wollte sich an dem Tag nicht mehr damit beschaeftigen also sind wir am Tag danach zur Station gegangen und sie haben den Bericht ...

... Buenos Aires is home to some of the best cuisine in all of Latin America. Italian, German, Chinese, and of course, the typical Argentinean and Porteño (Buenos Aires-an) restaurants can be found within a single city block. Also, the stars of the Buenos Aires food scene- Parrillas, or Argentinean Gaucho grills are a dime per dozen. <br><br>Up until three hours ago at the time of this writing, for the best three-day Argentinian experience one could have, I would have ...

... building they dwelled in. We also took a remarkable tour around they city and saw an assortment of the sights throughout the central regions including; Ricoleta, San Telmo and Palermo, to mention but a few.<br><br>There were tango lessons taking place in the hostel on a regular basis and although I didn't participate, it was easy to appricate the complex dance. Historically, the dance was invented by sailors and protitutes in La Boca and its ...

... also luckily put me in the heart of the hardcore fans stand. The air hung heavy with marijuana smoke and the fans were the craziest I´ve ever seen - non-stop singing, drums, trumpets, flares for the full 90 minutes. Boca went on to win 3 - 0 against Argentinos Juniors and the heavily armed riot police made us hardcore fans wait for a full half an hour before letting us out of the stadium to avoid any clashes with the other fans. I promised the boys we´d do em next ...

... to be tidy when you're living out of a bag. Sorry havent uploaded any photos but I havent even taken that many as the Brazilians have a really good camera and have said I can just have some of theirs! So hopefully I can get them soon enough and stick them up here. Word of warning though, my hair has been unleashed and is wild. Therefore I have tried to tame it and this involves basically me putting it up and sticking a hairband on. There´s no ...

... new friends - Sean and Conor - no joke - Sean lives in San Francisco, Conor in New York but is Irish by birth. And after chatting a bit we went in search of some good red meat and red wine. Yet again, successful on both accounts - and the steak was delicious. Flagging from a 20+hour journey, Sean went to bed and I subjected Conor to my 200 odd Iguazu photos......and that was the last I saw of my camera. Some time after showing him my photos and ...

... was to obtain a Argentine cell phone. I have yet to obtain one. I do however have promise in getting a clario cell-phone tomorrow (fingers crossed). The walking tour started at the hostel which is centrally located between Casa Roja, (The pink house) which is the presidential mansion and el congresso (the congress). I walked across 9 de Julio ( the widest street in the world) which is 18 lanes. I ...

... her looked our new huge apartment which we managed to get at a fraction of the cost of our destination hotel - you can´t organise luck like that! Great town, the old part of Colonia, used to be used by smugglers. There were festivities every day, beach, ice creams and more old buildings for Wendz.
