So the final instalment!!!As many of you already know I'm safely back in civilisation now, but I wanted to wrap up this last blog of my Latino adventure. Buenos Aires, the Paris of the South was to be our final destination.We all were hyped up with its reputation, the Tango, the football, the architecture, the nightlife and of course the shopping.With only 4 days and nights, we seriously doubted we'd have enough time to experience everything, but were prepared...
