So now into our 26th day in Argentina. We have visited many beautiful and fascinating places in Buenos Aires over the past month. These include La Boca, Palermo & the Botanical Gardens, Buenos Aires Zoo, Recoleta and The Flower (photo), San Telmo & its market, Plaza de Mayo, Tigre, River Plate football stadium, Porto Madero, and a couple of art and literary exhibitions... the list goes on. There is just so much to do in Buenos Aires itself before you even start to consider the rest of this vast country!
What of the near future? Well, we have 2 "excursions" booked. These are a 7 day trip down to Mar Del Plata, a coastal city in the south of the Buenos Aires province, and an 8 day trip down to Bariloche, which is toward the south of the country on the edge of the Andes (mountainous terrain, lakes etc.). We also plan to make another trip up to the North of the country on the Brazilian border to visit the waterfalls as these are supposed to be rather spectacular. This would also include a hike over the border into Brazil which I am eager to do. As well as this, we plan to go on day trips to the city of La Plata and Colonia in Uruguay (would mean taking a boat). We shall see!
Que mas? The weather has just started to heat up nicely averaging about 25 degrees in the day, but, unfortunately, so has my hayfever, for the second time in the year! Oh well, you can´t have everything.
Anyway, time to sign out.
Loving the food (especially Alfajores), people and culture (and the 24 hour availability of anything!)... and not missing England yet!
