For our last night in BA we went to a tango bar with a couple of people from our hostel, it wasn´t quite the trendy place we excited, looking a bit like a village hall, but the dancers were pretty amazing, and even though Sam managed to sprain his other ankle whilst walking down two steps (quite swollen but not nearly as bad as last time!) it was a good night! Yesterday we got on the bus at around 7, and it was defintely worth getting the comfy seats! They recli...

It´s our last night in BA! We went out for dinner last night for the last meal with a few people from our gap group, and I think it´s safe to say that I had the best steak in the world! This morning we heard what sounded like gun shots going off in the street, but after wandering down the street we realised it was a protest (which just looked like one big party!). After we took the tube to Palermo, which seems to be a rather exclusive area complete witha park...

Thanks again for the messages! As you can tell from the regular updates we have a lot of spare time! We´ve had a lazy day so far-we headed for breakfast about half 9ish and then headed to the main street to have a wander around the shops.

The main benefit of being in a hostel is definitely having a kitchen! Whilst we were on our gap tour we had to eat out ever...

We left Colonia at about 10 o´clock yesterday-it´s a nice little place and all of the buildings were beautiful! The day before we hired a go-cart type thing and spent an hour driving around the town-it got a bit warmer too! We managed to have sweet and sour chicken in a restaurant called `The Drug store`, and even though it was served with peas and carrots it was a nice taste from home! It´s our first full day in Buenos Aires. It´s a really pretty place, mo...
