We are back in BA and relative heat! Soooo happy to be back here! However, Lonely Planet have delivered us to yet another corker of a hostel - it states book ahead to reserve a bed with satin sheets - err NO! The lobby looked great - modern and bright - then we were taken to the room...... it stank of pure wrongness, and is decorated, well, just imagine the interior of a battered motel room in America in the 70's - nice. LONELY PLANET ARE WRONG IN THE HEAD! Desp...

Well, while you lot are getting rained on back in England, we are busy getting pooed on in Buenos Aires! Yesterday, we were strolling around a park in San Telmo, trying to distinguish if the birds that were flying around were parrots - Sophie is convinced that they are, no matter what anyone says - they are bright green and blue and fly like parrots!!!

It only turned out to be the Harlem Globetrotters!! Crazy! Even Andy, who has himself felt like a giant for the majority of this trip, was dwarfed by atleast a couple of feet! In other sporting news, we stalked an Argentinian rugby player around the supermarket in Mendoza yester...

Well we made it to the other side of the continent! Had an ok bus journey - two films - in ENGLISH!!!! and the highlight was the bingo!!! AMAZING! Bus bingo! It should be made mandatory! However, we didn`t sleep, as usual, and the guy in the seat across the isle kept peeing in a sprite bottle - ugh. So we arrived about an hour ago, and we have only just found a hostel with spare rooms - it smells of mushrooms and is so damp we have a dehumidifier in our room! Bu...
