Golden Tulip Savoy Buenos Aires

... The women split up in the evening and Katerina and Evelie went to La Baldosa because they took a group tango lesson and the group was headed there. They ran in to my friend, Cesar, who I danced with a lot last year. Gail and I went to Club Grisel. We had a fabulous time!!! We danced nearly every tanda. Our eyes were working it! A gentleman asks you to dance by inviting you with his eyes (cabeceo). Then the woman has the ability to either ...

... The coach was very reasonably priced, and almost luxurious. The waiter woke us up at midnight and gave us a glass of Champagne: I'm willing to bet that's never happened on the N155 to Morden.<br><br>Anyway, an excellent week overall. The bad news is that I'm not able to upload photos, so you'll have to rely on my rambling for the time being! Will update on Buenos Aires and Montevideo, our next port of call, in a few days.<br><br>Steve

... 8211; we felt so cosmopolitan! <br><br>One of our last stops in Buenos Aires was the San Telmo antique markets. Along the street that extends over many blocks, there are shops and stands filled with antiques, street performances, tango dance demonstrations, food vendors of every description and plenty of locals and tourists all enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. <br><br>A great way to end our time in a city that is the perfect mix of Paris, Barcelona and New York.

... we start to miss when we get home. We ended up back at the hostel to catch up on some reading and worked on the internet. <br><br>Around 3, we left again and headed up to a park near Recoletta to see the famous metal rose statue. Next to the park is located the National Congress which is an imposing stone building housing various and changing displays and a large concert hall. We saw a sign promoting a free concert that evening by the University of Buenos Aires' symphonic ...

... trip very special.<br> <br>Living life well into the late hours of the night/morning is very much part of the lifestyle in BA, so we soon got used to restaurants being deserted until at least 10 at night, though we were never entirely sure what people got up to with the spare 5 hours between work and this late dinner time.<br> <br>Overall the food in BA was a little limiting, and whilst the boys tucked into great Argentinian steak most nights, me and my ...

... So we decided to cut our day short and instead stopped at the supermercado and bought 3 liters of beer, a mid shelf bottle of Mendozian Malbec &amp; a container of chimichurri spice mix (an Argentine condiment served with beef). All this for 43 pesos or $12 (US). That's Kevin's biggest excitement all day. We do go out for dinner around 10pm, and after scouring the NW side of town this morn, we think we know where to concentrate our efforts, however it isn't so ...

... having to leave for their bus; the second half saw more action, two missed penalties and Newells score two goals. I have to confess that I didn´t see the second as I was watching the crowds and the pigeons. Just by our stand, there was a gap in the corner and numerous pigeons flew into the stadium and almost pulled up in horror - whoa what´s going on here - and this happened time and time again. Due to the rivalry between fans, we had a 45 ...

... paa en restaurant i náerheten av hostellet, saa gikk vi videre til en elveplass der veldig mange mennesker hadde samlet seg. Kl 00.00 stod vi midt paa en bru (som gynget av alle fulle glade menneskene:) og saa paa et utrolig fyrverkeri! I dag (fredag) skal vi se Evitas grav, og kanskje faa unnagjort litt shopping :) Og forresten.. mamma, pappa og heidi :) Jeg synes det er veldig hyggelig at dere vil hore saa mye fra meg, men det kan bli ganske saa dyrt i lengden ...

... 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 ...

... Garland and Norma Shearer) Last night I had farewell drinks with my hosts, Carla and Sergio and their four legged owners, Frida and Fidel and Jennifer and Peter (the two American post grad students), and - today I will visit the San Telmo markets for the last time and maybe have lunch at the Bar Britannico.. I love spending Sundays at the San Telmo markets - where else can you find stalls selling first edition books, across ...
