Hotel Frossard Buenos Aires

MOTOS ARRIVE IN BUENOS AIRES &#8211; ARGENTINA &#8211; HURRAY &#8211; 26.10.09<br><br>At 2pm we caught a taxi, with a much more sedate driver this time, to Lan Chile Cargo, to get the paperwork finished regarding the motorbikes. Much walking around the International Airport complex did wonders for our waistlines. Back and forth we went from one building to another. Customs took forever, but our two crates with our bikes finally ...

... picture, it was cheap and delcious. After lunch we toured the cemetary where we saw incredible tombs of the most wealthy families in Buenos Aires. <br><br>Even further to the Northwest is Palermo, a neighborhood consumed by open parks of which the residents take full advantage. We stood on the sidelines of a friendly game of fútbol, watched fly-fishermen practice in the pond and snuck past a Saturday afternoon Karate class. On our way back to the ...

... no canucks fans are allowed to bring a trombones, trumpet and drums into the game (remember when my air horn got confiscated after one honk at the PLAYOFFS of all games!). and we dont have any heckling songs or anything. the fans were nutty. we did sit in the hooligan section but it was an away game so the hooligan section for the visitors was only about a third of the place. we were told not to bring ANYTHING like no cameras no money, no nothing. it ...

Screaming kids on a bus should be nothing to write about anymore, but the little princess who graced our throbbing ear drums for the better part of last night's 18 hour trip from Mendoza deserves a Grammy for her scream-o performance at 4am. <br><br>Then there was the ''cell phone radio guy'' who actually played his cell phone's ring tones on full blast speaker phone- not even music, but the factory uploaded ring tones that came standard on ...

... to get to the football game. Well, it turned out to be a bit of a farce. The bus turned up to take a group of us, plus other tourists, to the game at 4.30 and we thought we were getting fast food and a beer prior to arriving... well, we got into the ground at about 5.30 for the match to start at 7.45! And the guys that took us inside put us into standing terracing without the promised dinner... plus it was a little on the chilly side when the sun went ...

... was suddenly after lunch and the day was slipping away. We caught the subway back into the city as according to lonely planet we could get a free English tour of Casa Rosada on a friday at 5pm but apparently that is no longer the case. Therefore we subwayed back to the hostel to regroup and work out what to do instead. At this point the day was feeling like a bit of a flop so we didn`t want to be too ambitious and ended up heading to the botanic gardens which were ...

... hatten wir im Reisefuehrer gelesen, dass Buenos Aires gegen Ende Dezember so langsam leer laeuft, was wir Stand 19.12. keinesfalls bestaetigen koennen. Wir laufen noch durch einige Parks und Strassen, und ueberlegen kurz, ob wir zum Abschluss mal in ein spanischsprachiges Kino gehen sollten, aber dort drin liegen die Temperaturen etwa 10 Grad unter der Aussentemperatur, und so lassen wir das lieber sein. Wir verdruecken uns statt dessen in ...
