Yesterday (Monday), we headed to the La Recoleta area of the city which is famous for the large cemetery where Eva Peron is buried. To get there, we had to travel on the subway and walk for a short while. This sounds relatively simple, however due to my questionable navigational skills this turned into quite a trek.

I'm not quite sure how Beth was so tired after a 13 hour sleep on the bus but she was! Anyway after getting up, we got ready and Beth generously agreed that I could listen to the match in the apartment before going for a walk. The less said about that the better!!!!!

Today we have successfully completed our first overland border crossing. It shouldn't have been too hard really considering it only really takes getting two stamps in our passports. We did however manage to make it difficult! The first issue was the weather. We had thunderstorms last night which went on pretty much all night and all morning. The thunder and lightning was pretty spectacular and some mad Scottish people decided it would be a good idea to pitch a t...
