Reconquista Garden Hotel Buenos Aires

... refusing to implement it, even on Saturday it was unclear what was happening.

So when I went to bed Saturday night I was not sure what time I was getting up to. Buenos Aires did not change the clocks. At the airport there were two different times showing for the flight the original (clocks unchanged time) 16:05
and the ...

... and a tasteless packet sauce. It was eaten very painfully for the vegetable content, but we couldnt finish our plates due to disgust.
All the party-goers in the hostel got together for a brief drinking game of ring of fire, before heading out to a club called Nicito which was in Palermo. Inside they had a band playing the shittest music ive ever heard, with 1 member dressed in a rabit costume, the lead singer in a constant state of pout, and 1 guy who wore a ...

... upside down, or maybe i was reading it upside down. Either way, i went the long way around to finding most things. Doesn“t help when you mistake Congress for a cathedral. Saw a lot of major sites / symbols, some unintentional: Plaza San Martin, congress, obelisk, plaza de mayo and Kilkenny pub. Booked myself into the Milhouse Hostel for the weekend, and this place has a party reputation. It is regarded as a żouth“ hostel, so i“m bound to fit in.

... Saw the funniest thing on the way back. An old woman who was at least in her seventies and looked like she'd had a bit of hammer in her time - in both of the senses, if you know what I mean, Jeff. She'd got the overpowering make-up on and I'm sure had a slight slavver going off as well. And what was she advertising? .....you guessed it, the local sex shop!! I really think they need to sack their marketing manager!! I mean, I suppose ...

... made into fancy flats with loads of pricey restaurants and the area also has an ecological reserve park. We also went with Clara to the Boca area which is famous area for Tango dancing on the street and art but it is a bit of a poor area. Boca Juniors (Maradona“s old team), fans are supposely something else, chanting non stop!!! We went to see San Lorenzo football game with some people from the hostel.. It was a experience and the fans are very ...

... off to the shops the following day, clubbing in BA requires nice threads. Drag Heidi round the shops for 6 hours, mainly looking for her, but the freak out she thinks she will have for shopping for more than 2 hours, never matrialises.....good shopping here, bought some new sunnies and cheap Levis. Head off out for clubbing, dinner at 12pm, clubbing at 2am, home by 7am...its crazy here...but that“s the way “portenos“do it (people from BA). Friday was ...

... option was to send them by air and hope that a cocktail of diplomacy and judiciously secreted $100 bills would resolve any documentation issues that may arise. So on December 22nd, the 2 bikes were taken down to an exporter in Sydney, where my brother Toby and I crated them up and left them for Aerolineas Argentinas to shift them 11,744 km to Buenos Aires Argentina on January 3rd 2009. Would we be able to get them both out at the other end? Nothing was for sure, and many a ...

... Internetcafe und planen etwas am naechsten Teil unserer Reise herum, bis wir von Matias abgeholt werden. Matias ist ein argentinischer Ex-Kollege von Sascha, der urspruenglich aus Buenos Aires kommt und dank aktueller Bankensituation zumindest voruebergehend hierher zurueckgekehrt ist. Er kennt sich hier natuerlich super aus und so ziehen wir gemeinsam in eine richtig gute Fleischgrillerei und lassen uns vom Insider mal die guten Fleischsorten ...

... go to San Telmo feria. On the way, we learn that the taxi driver has a daughter living in Denver. We have met numerous portenos who have family in the U.S. We are left off on Defensa Street where there is only pedestrians today. The street is lined with vendors of all sorts - knives, wood products, jewelry, knit and wood goods, etc. There are also individual and groups of musicians. A silver pendant catches my eye. I am surprised that ...

... was awfully cheap, and we enter the rather grubby corridors and ascend the steep stairs into the stadium. Once we are in, we realize our grievous mistake. We are at the south end of the stadium, standing room only, and half filled with fanatical fans waving black and red flags. Hold it a minute! Independiente is red and white! We are in the Colon supporters section! We look across the pitch and see the elegant preferred section on each side as well as the ...
