¡Hola Blogsters!
We have been lazy little bloggers and havent updated for a whole week! Our apologies, this is largely due to the fact we have been mainly slugging around Buenos Aires, getting drunk, eating copious amounts of prime beef and generally walking around looking at things.
Actually that isn´t entirely true. After a heavy Pacha session and another 6 am bedtime we had a quiet one Sunday and went to see ´the time travellers wife´ at the cinema (in English, we´re not that cultured...). Monday we decided to´get another passport stamp and headed to Uruguay for a mini-break.
Colonia de Sacremento is a beautiful little town an hours ferry trip from BA and we had a lush lunch in a mental little restaurant there where the menu included a ´chef´s surprise´. We headed to the East of the country passing through the uninspiring Montevideo and went to the St Tropez of South America - Punte Del Este. It was bloody freezing!!
Had an awesome few nights there though apart from the hostel was our worst yet! The place is indeed beautious but the Argies love it in the Summer - Dec to Feb. We also saw a sea lion on the harbourside, never seen one before in real life and it was a massive unit, we thought it was a bear at first!!
Also did a day trip to Le Tigre yesterday, an hour north of BA on the Parana river delta. Such a lovely day, this is where the BA dwellers have their weekend homes, all on rivers so only boats to get around (bit like the farm actually!) So they stock up on steaks and beers and head up there for the weekend to relax, Brad and I think it is the life.
Brad has invented a new system of working out exchange rates, it´s pretty groundbreaking. Its called the McDonalds system and works on the basis that every McDs has a 1 pound value meal, so by this he can work out how much local currency is to the pound. Ingenious.
Right, we are off to the suburb of Palermo soon for our 4th BA hostel - we just love trying them all out! Then Patagonia Tues, v excited!
Miss you all and wish you could all come out and join us for a big steak! (Veggie steak for Claire).
Happy Bday Cougar!
Pompey FINALLY won!!!
