Park Plaza Kempinski Buenos Aires

... made from rough and irregular old bricks. Steep wooden stairs at one end of the room lead up to the first floor where we have a bedroom and bathroom. From there a spiral staircase goes up to our roof terrace which has a couple of chairs, a table and a few straggly plants in need of better care and attention (I guess that the tenants don't always try to keep them going!). The view from the terrace is not exactly pretty as it looks into the block of buildings but ...

... course" said Nadine "let's go into this <br>restaurant here, it looks OK". So they went into La Brigada and discovered some excellent <br>steaks and red wine, which can be seen in the illustrations below. <br><br>Chapter 2: After the rain<br>Nadine and Duncan sat in a restarant in Puerto Madero where Duncan had spotted Warsteiner on the menu. The rain from the previous day had disappeared, giving way to glorious sunshine. After ...

... his face or name on it. I bought a Maradona Argentina shirt. I got it for the small sum of 20 pesos, approximately 3 pound 50. It´s a cool neighbourhood and I wish I would have been able to see a match but there isn´t one until the night after I leave. I got back to the hostel and got changed to go to my Tango night. Argentina is the home of the Tango. I´d seen the tango danced by our very own Flavia and Bruno so thought I´d see a show in the home of the dance. They are very ...

Haven't really had much to update this about recently cos I've been busy studying. However, we got a long weekend because of the beginning of the 200th year since Argentina began to make it's way to freedom from Spain and went to a concert in the city centre. It was really good, if a little busy - there were nearly 200,000 people there! Didn't know any of the music but the atmosphere was good, so was the pizza!<br><br>I finish ...

... en volgens de Lonely Planet HET typische traditionele Arentijnse dorpje. Doel van de reis was een 'dia del campo' om te ervaren hoe het echte gaucho leven was. Dat bleek dus vooral rondlummelen, lekker eten, zingen/dansen en paardrijden te zijn. Nou ja, paardrijden... we konden heen en weer crossen op een anderhalve kilometer recht afgezet stuk grond om daarna weer terug te keren naar het begin om de volgende toerist op het paard te laten hijsen. Dat was wel grappig ...

... customs here in BA, but had to wait about an hour for our shuttle transfer. The hostel is great. Comfortable and clean. Had trouble paying for our room cause they don't take credit cards (what the!) and the ATM´s would only give us 300 pesos a day. Thats only about $134 Australian. We are totally buggered. Both of us have pink ...

... since Argentina is famous for it´s beef, and it´s grilled meats, and I can still remember one of the best meals I´ve ever had at an Argentinan restaurant in Adelaide many years ago. But, after eating what seemed like nothing but meat and potatoes for so long, I really just felt like salad, so ended up having Subway! (which tasted so much better here by the way!) So the carnivorous feast will have to wait for the return trip to BA one day. Besides beef, Argentina is famous ...
