Eurobuilding Hotel Boutique Buenos Aires

... out, it was warm but not hot and there were people everywhere! A few girls and I went to the Japanese Gardens which are beautifully filled with flowers and ponds with fish. Later we walked around to the various festivals that were going on that day. We ended up in this one area with free concerts and vendors where there were hundreds if not thousands of people laying out on blankets on the grass. Later in the day we went to get ice cream in honor of what ...

... time looking to buy an argentinian sim card. Not many people spoke english so they we bought one from the first person who could actually explain what we were buying and the call rates etc. There were people trying to get us to go have a look at strip shows during the day and offered us a look for free. Apparently you should never let people take you anywhere as you may find yourself in a room with people who wont let you leave unless you pay them money, which is funny ...

Buenos Aires is without doubt the most romantic city I have ever been to, the wide green avenues that carve up the city into districts are crammed with beautiful ancient buildings in the style of French and Spanish period architecture and the whole place exudes an air of passion and sensuality. Buenos Aires has an almost European feel to it and like many of the Capital cities of Europe the streets are liberally littered with statues of the heroes of history, the ones ...

... the house himself and has one other person working for him. The food was delicious and the ambience nice and relaxed. The rest of the week was spent looking around the city often with Paddy and Nikko as our guide/translator! We took in San Telmo market one Sunday which was very different and full of interesting stalls and street theatre. We spent a few hours in the park relaxing by the lake in the searing sunshine - apparently it was ...

... ll give me $25. And those are the nice cashiers. I got lucky and found a store that didn't mind giving me coins as change. My first week here, I was going to the cashiers from hell. They would freak out if I had a bill-- literally, and I'm not kidding here, they had to call the manager for 'cambio' (change)--complete with blinking lane light and all! So, the manager comes over, and the cashier asks for change, the ...

... night would be had until the bikes were free and rolling on Argentine roads. Monday Dec 29th QF017 from SYD to EZE (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Farewell to fat cats, manic dogs, Australian test cricket glory, Tim Tams, Vegemite, brothers, uncles, grandma and mum. Watching South African tail enders notch up last wicket century stands at the MCG is surely an omen to get out of Australia and avoid what can only be a miserable cricketing summer. Take me to Argentina, away from this ...

... ne suis pas d'ici et il remarque que je dégage des odeurs fort désagréables. Il me propose également de m'arrêter afin de m'aider mais à nouveau je refuse et continue ma route. J'arrive enfin à l'hostel où je demande immédiatement les toilettes pour me débarasser de cette puanteur. Je me débarbouille et remarque au passage que mon sac à dos a été partiellement éclaboussé par cette substance immonde. Je retourne à la réception de ...

... away. We make our way over and gather that there is some kind of African festival. How cool is this? Someone walks up to Harvey and hands him a paper about the African diaspora and three condom packets. I don't know what he does with these, but the next time I look they are not in his hand. We are standing in front of an ice cream store and check out if they have sorbets, which they do. We sit on the bench in front of the store ...

... was good to catch up with them, and at least I found out that we weren't the only ones to waste entire days by getting trashed and being hungover! ;)



After the cemetery visit we headed east, past the Museum of Fine Art and its famous flower statue.





We ...

... morning. By taking the overnight bus, we loose no travel time, and save on two nights of hotel. They even serve dinner and breakfast during the trip. We put the air tickets on hold and stroll over to the Retiro Bus Terminal to learn more. Continuing along Florida we arrive at Plaza San Martin. This is an elegant part of the city, where the best hotels are located. The Plaza is a lovely wooded green oasis ...
