We'd seen it would rain on the Wednesday and tried to fit all the main sights into the two days before. I'm glad we did, it rained hard and constantly all day long, and we were glad we could decide to just stay in the hotel and chill out and plan the next parts of our trip - particularly when rob realised the Man City match was showing on the TV in our room!We only left to go for dinner, when it was still pouring, but we put on our cheap ponchos and risk...

We started the day by going to some of the other suburbs. Firstly we headed to Palermo Soho, which was really cool and had loads of squares for drinks! We walked through Palermo to the botanical park, then over to the Japanese gardens. After a few hours walking through all the gardens we walked through Recoleta, which was really cool, then headed back. The weather was lovely and we had a really nice afternoon.Later we went out to do some tango! I'd found a...

South America can be frustratingly laid back / unhelpful!The hotel we stayed in was lovely, a boutique hotel in an area close to the congress building, and our room had a jacuzzi bath (although the toilet was broken). As we had to pay for half a night for cancelling the previous day late, they gave us breakfast, which was actually r...

It ended up being a nice relaxing day to read and catch up with the blog, messages etc, even if...

Today we had ambitious plans to go from Foz de Igazu, in Brazil, through Paraguay to Posadas in North Argentina, and from there get the night bus down to Buenos Aires the next morning. We got up early in Foz and everything went to plan, getting off the bus to get through Paraguay immigration very quickly then getting a taxi then a bus to Encarnacion in South Paraguay, just over the border from Posadas. We had heard that although not many tourists came to Paragu...
