Thursday 4th Oct - Our last day n Buenos Aires ☹. However, the day didn't disappoint, the weather was glorious and we spent the day in La Boca with Jorge. It was a lovely walking around seeing all the bright colours, tango dancers, and looking through the old Italian migrant settlements. When visiting La Boca you can not miss visiting the "Boca Jnr" soccer stadium. We caught the subway into the city centre, then a short taxi ride dropped us near the river, the ...
