Will found Wardy
Hey peeps... well we made it to Buenos Aires and WOW!!! What a great city.... such european culture with a latino twist so we felt right at home! It is famous for its cafe culture and didnt we take advantage of this... even introduced kim to coffee especially as here they serve it with ice cream!!!! Daddio u would have spent the days wandering from cafe to cafe!!! And oh my god on that note the food..... some things we have concluded are that argentianan beef kicks arse!! and kim is even eating it by the cow load... best served with copius amounts of argentianan malbec and shed loads of sexy salad!!! And for dessert we have decided dulche de leche should be served with everything.. dont worry we're bringing some back to england!!! (So those of u who said on travelling we'd lose weight are far from wrong!!)
Ok enough of food we could go on allday (as we did spend most of our time eating out..oops!!) But we did do other things included visting la Boca a wicked colourful neighbourhood with crazy characters, tango and u guessed it more cafes (see the pictures for a better image). In the evening after a posh winetasting in a 5star hotel with wine, champagne and cheese (yes as backpackers do!? only the ward sisters!) we went and watched a tango show (lol u would have loved it lotsa sexy dancing!) The next day we visited recoletta the creepiest neighbourhood in town.... basically a town of coffins guarded by black cats which hosted the coffin of the famous Evita (Will u can imagine how freaked out i was hating graveyards n all) ok after shopping in the millionth market in south america (deany and amy u would love the markets here so much unique crazy jewellery and clothes!) we headed for a typical buenos aires night out... dinner with our new found spanish friends at the hostels started around 11... we hit the first bar at 1am and entered 'Club 69' around 3..... what a random club brakdancing, drag queens and electronic music!!! Regardless we danced our little socks off til 7am with the best mojitos in town (Had a dance for u northen monkey) and kim is still in shock by her latest night out ever!! The next day we headed to the south american equivalent to venice to chill out... and in the evening to wake ourselves back up decided to go and watch an argentianan first division football match and what a experience!!! The argentians certaintly are passionate about their football and the stadium nearly collapsed when our team won 2-0!! Our last day was spent at the sunday market in San Telmo wandering through loads of antique markets and munching pizza whilst argentianan families sat down for their sunday lunch surrounded by opera singers!! That day we said goodbye to our tour family (who we became kinda close with hence the amount of photos of them!) leaving just me and kimba heading off to mendoza the city of sun, wine & the andes mountains... sounded promising!!(back on our feet after our little setback...the ward sisters stronger than ever!) So dan and lol maybe we can start to get some colour again to compete with your new tans!!! Glad you both had great holidays!!!Cat is it still raining though?!?!
