Hi everyone,
Been a bit slack in keèping my blog up to date since I hit Buenos Airers, but really a simple case of being out and about and also problems with finding internet cafes.
Beunos Aires is simply amazing. Think Paris, Rome and Madrid all mixed into one and then double the purchasin power of the euro and you have BA. I am loving it and best place I have been to so far.
yesterday, went to more footie and watched Racing V Indepente. Poor game at 0 -0 but the crowd...well you have to gave been there to believe it. They were singion, jumping, fircrackers, toilet rolls the works and that was all 2 hours before kick off....simply entertainment without looking at the pitch.
then last night, I splashed out and went to a Tango Dance dinner. It was in a beautiful old theatre, I had a little balcony to myself and 1 other, a South korean lawyer, and a 4 course meal with a bottle of red , then a fantastic 2 hour Tango show on the stage. whilst I have to be careful admitting to like dance, it was superb and the dancers were real athletes. taxi to and from and the total cost 30 quid! You just cant beat it.
Today I flew LAN airlines to Foz De Ignacu.....Ignacu Falls....They are right int he top of Argentina and the falls make the boarder between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. I think they are the highest falls in the world and twice as high as Niagra falls!. Booked a truck tour of the jungle and speedbaot under the falls tommorrow and cant wait. Weather here is scorching and getting burnt.....how is it in UK, Jersey, IOM?
The Hostel here is great, has a large swinmming pool and was a casino.....so rooms are fine. Beers....1 pound a pint....
Honestly..Argentina is so lovely, the people are really friendly, the scenery and architecture breathtaking, and the peso....well its so cheap. Yesterday I took the Buenos Aires subway...really smart...9 stops.....like London between zone 1 and 3...cost... 21 pence! So dont go to Europe on holiday, so to Argentina.....
Will write more about the falls when I have been and will trya nd download my growing number of pictures too...
Best wishes to everyone
Steve
