Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, the most European of South American cities... it almost seems like being back "home", in Madrid. A mere 16 hour journey from Iguazu, the Argentinian buses are definitely an improvement on the Brazilian ones, full reclining seats, blankets, even dinner. On the down side, they hardly stop at all, so getting off to stretch legs and practice capoeria isn't feasible. Leaving Iguazu, we got stopped by the police, who bought on a sniffer dog to check for drugs. I petted it and fed it some positive energy so it didn't bark at me :)

Last night, I met up with several of my new friends here, and ended going out for dinner just myself and 6 girls (this is a new record for me!). Even the eating hours are like Madrid here, we ended up sitting down at the restaurant at about 23:40, after having an aperitif in a wine-bar nearby. We had some tasty argentinian meats, great wines and ended up going on to a club a bit later on. Again, not so different from back home, although the DJ wasn't really up to scratch.

Good things in Argentina
  • Pretty girls
  • Good wines
  • Good meats
  • Comfortable buses

Bad things in Argentina (vs. Brazil)
  • Breakfasts
  • Juices
