Today I was up early again but the weather wasn't so good so I decided to go back to bed. I had organized to pick up a half price ticket to a music festival here - happening next week but unfortunately after waiting all morning I didn't hear anything from seller. I went for a bit of a walk around before returning to Heli's for lunch. Tonight is Caro's birthday; a German Couchsurfer I met a few weeks ago that I have been hanging out. The party is at Jess's house s...

After not much sleep I woke up pretty tired this morning but was excited to try all these new sweets Heli's Mum had packed for us lastnight in a little gift box. There was hand made Marangs with fruit stuffings, Brazilian chocolates, almond biscuits and other very tasty sweets - Argentina is truly the land of sweets. After breakfast I decided to walk into the city and price-up the Ferry and bus to Uruguay - it turns out it is far more expensive to buy at the offi...

After a nice sleep-in this morning I went for a walk to the park near Heli's to kill some time whilst I waited for Heli to finish her work.

I made it to the city and then jumped on the first bus heading out to Jess's parents place. The trip took about an hour bu...

Today I was once again up early and at 12pm we had plans to visit Heli's mothers place for lunch. Around 11am Heli's brother came around and we chatted and hung-out for a whole before heading just down the road to her parents house. Heli's Mother along with her boyfriend have a beautiful apartment on the top floor of a new apartment complex - with a balcony that goes around the entire top floor - I felt like I was in a Penthouse. They had prepared a very special ...
