San Martin 839 Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District, Argentina, 11-4321-9850
James Buenos Aires - The city that never sleeps, the Paris of South America, great night life, warm, safe and cultured. These are the reasons why, out of the whole of Latin America, we choose to spend our festive period in the capital city of Argentina. The city is extremely large with different districts which require exploring. For the few nights we stayed on Avenue Florida in the "The Micro Centre", which is the equivalent of staying on a pedestrianised Oxford Street. Itīs was very busy (e...

... have USD in the machines) and all prices on menus and windows are listed with a "$", despite the prices being in ARS. In the late 1990s, with years of low inflation and strong growth, a wealth of natural resources, a highly educated and literate population, a strong farm export sector and for other optimistic economic reasons, Argentina was billed by Western banks and investors as the next greatest thing and ...

... Leeds Uni. Luckily the room had 2 beds! ;) Another hour was spent to unsucessfully draw cash from an ATM - turned out to be a national problem for foreigners in Venezuela, so if you plan to go there - BRING $$$$$$! The black market also gives about 2x the exchange you would get from the bank, which was lucky that I had $40 on me. This allowed us breakfeast and the fare to one of the islands to go and snooze on the beach. Aparantly Puerta la Cruz ...
Puerta la Cruz, Venezuela femi... for 50,000 boliviara's (US$25) as I wanted to check out the backpacker hotel for US$10 one or 2 blocks away. Well, it was full, so I tried 5 other hotels in the same street - all full. Went back to the first one, and they raised the price on me. With hindsight, I really really shoulda taken it, but I hate feeling ripped off and damned if I was gunna pay an extra $5 just coz the guy knows he can get away with it. Stupid, stupid me. I walked round the rather dodgy area of Savana ...
Caracas, Venezuela joulesSo we said goodbye to Peru and to be honest with you, I was actually glad of leaving and arriving in Caracas. Was actually looking forward to being surrounded by local people of the country and having to talk in Spanish again. For some strange reason we had not booked a place to stay. We thought we would be in the city by late evening and find a decent place to stay in Altamira. I really do think that we do not like learning from our mistakes. After a long ...
