We got up early and got a subway to Puerto Madero which is a nice little area by the docks. There are nice restaurants, chic cafes and boliches. I walked along the dockside with Mariana laughing at all the random coloured cows dotted around the place. I bought my boat ticket to Uruguay and then we had lunch in a nice little place called Spell Cafe. The steak I had was a let-down and the salad was weird; rice, brocolli and lettuce. We dawdled around the luxury apa...

Amira woke me up around 9 and I had my shower. I asked her to wake me up as I knew I wouldn't wake up at 9 because Cliff would keep me awake snoring and so I'd probably sleep in. I had breakfast with Amira and I made us some yerba mate. I left the hostel at 10ish and walked towards my new hostel called Che Lagarto. However when I arrived to check-in, the receptionist said they hadn't received an email confirming my bed. I said I'd never received a reply fro...

I woke up at 10ish today still tired because the Korean in my dorm (that's Cliff) snored his head off all night and had sporadic coughing fits.

I walked into town with Amira and we tried to find a bar to watch the Argentina match against Germany. All the bars were rammed full ...

I set my alarm for 8ish as I thought I would get up since I went to bed early. However suffering from the cold I slept through to 10ish. I sat and watched CNN in the lounge chomping on Danish pastries. I read the Lonely Planet Argentina book that was on the book exchange shelf and then made myself some mate. I sat next to the heater and looked over my Spanish notes. Later I walked into the city and was stopped by someone asking for directions, I had to say ...

I got up at 10 and had my Argentine breakfast of cakes (like Danish pastries) and coffee. I picked up my washing from the lavanderia and noticed my white socks have all become pink socks! I returned to the hostel and made myself some mate, I then relaxed on the rooftop reading and sipping my mate. I decided to call Monty..bad idea as I ended up chatting for 1 hour! My dad's going to kill me as the D/D is on his account! I walked around the cobbled streets o...
