Hola! Back to Spanish well my pigeon Spanish which is far better than my pigeon Portugese was!! Thankfully on Monday I´ll be back to English in South Aafrica. So Buenos Aires has been my playground for the last three days. I have to fly into Cape Town from here hence my stopover, it hasn´t been a very eventful one I´m afraid as I chose to have this time to catch up on some me time, detox after the carnival and exercise as much as I could, and that I have.

We just spent the weekend in the highest capital city in the world La Paz which I loved.

My last entry came from Peru and as ni...
