Torre Cristofo Colombo Buenos Aires

... countries on / in all possible forms of transport mostly without problem. <br>Do not believe all the bad press and Government warnings (pretty much always on the safe side from nanny states in the developed world), but do give them sensible consideration.<br><br>The best / favourite country - <br>None they all had attractive and less attractive areas. Honduras did not get much of ...

... of 4, champagne in hand and are served up with most amazing mix of tango and cabaret I have ever seen. It is small and dark and I feel as if I'm in an old gatsby style movie. Humphry Bogart could tap me on the shoulder at any moment. Two ordinary looking tango dancers are transformed to sex icons when they start dancing. The whole routine just leaves you salivating for a night in the sack. Even more amazing, the various locals around us love our enthusiasm ...

Down the hill from the main plaza, where the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cabildo proclaimed the power of the church and the state, poor immigrant dock workers built their homes on lowlands at the mouth of the Riachuelo river. These immigrants were so poor that many of the homes are built of corrugated sheet metal. However, in the spirit of people optimistic that the future would bring a ...

... Me, i´ll take some grime with my ´áuthenticity´ rode the Subte home which was muggy and crowded but efficient. chilled then met P and his wife for some wine and dinner (at midnight). Great traditional porteño food (ie. pasta and meat) but I was just faded so although we planned on going out (starting at 2a would be about right for this town) I couldn´t hang. Maybe tomorrow. * I´ve been walking about 15km / day buit if i havent gained 5# in two days, i´d be surprised.

... lots and lots of energy. Definitely a highlight, we have no pictures as we left the camera behind in the hotel. The stadium is supposed to be in not such a safe area, but it turned out to be fine and very safe. The stadium was only a 20-minute walk from our hotel. We very much enjoyed Buenos Aires, one of our favourite world cities. Next day we headed off on a night bus for our 16hr bus ride to Iguazu Falls.

... the size of a tiny closet. 13) Shoplifting Detectors at the Grocery Store. Not kidding. I got stopped the other day because my package of 6 slices of ham had a little sticker on it that set off the detector. Of course I don't know that this is it, and the security guard starts going through my groceries looking for something--and I have no idea what!-- and I'm trying to help her, pulling out random things, to which ...

... the manager here is excellent and really goes the extra mile. Bill and I also did some tango lessons, the manager at the hostel found a lady who did professional lessons in her studio. She was very bossy! It was very hard, I did not realise how hard it was going to be, we spent so much time just learning how to walk, I seem to have a problem with the posture, Bill of course was perfect. We spent two hours there and I still do not think we ...

... which is basically a bottle of vodka filled with chili peppers.. however, neither one of us three had it in us to step up to the plate to join him. You guys KNOW i can´t handle spicy ANYTHING worth much...lol. The boys settled on sipping whisky after they ate instead. Thereafter, we all went to Bruno´s apartment in San Telmo. He lives in a beautiful old building from the 1920s complete with ridiculous high ceilings and tons of character. He fixed up the place and put ...

... the sound of the African drums course through us. We have to shout to hear each other and we are sitting right next to each other! It seems that we are at the end of the parade. We take photos of scantily clad women dressed like at a mardigras. There are throngs of people and as each band group reaches our corner, the end of the parade, their music reaches an especially loud crescendo. The rhythms are amazing! It's time to go back ...

... Chelsea v Arsenal, but over the moon that the blue sh*te (Everton) dropped more points today, so we should definitely beat them to 4th place now. Not a great boast I know, but we've won 7 in a row and look like a different team at the moment... <br><br>I also can't WAIT for the Boca game ...
