IMPORTANT UPDATE...BOCA JUNIORS v RIVER PLATE, WE ARE GOING! Massively excited! Game starts Sat at 10pm, have to arrive 4 hours early to get a good standing place/avoid most riots. Hopefully all going well and we survive, pics up sunday! Big bummer that Riquelme isn't playiung as theres a flash match Argy vs USA this weekend but all the other players will be there. Vernons been stato central as you can imagine.. knows more about argentinian football than i know about Arsenal. Cant wait, mental experience! going out tonight pretty hardcore then watching premiership all morning then siesta and ready for the big night tomorrow night bring it on!! Told that if I was to wear my england beckham shirt its about 95% guaranteed I would die a horrible death. Take my chances I dont think so, not even gona wear my Arsenal shirt. Not fans of the English, so we are going as Aussies, and wearing Boca stuff :) (in the Boca standing section-will try and get some good undercover hardcore fan fighting videos Danny Dyer style!)

Last night was crazy, ended up playing one of the best Ring of Fire games ever, we have unlimited free wine in our small homely hostel, and just abused it to the max. Was just us, 2 swedish guys and 2 polish guys, so hiliarious! Suffered a bit this morning so had a good lie in and then had another huge steak lunch and relaxed in the sunny plazas of Mendoza, now gona head home and chillout for a bit before going out tonight. The good life :) Cant wait to get to Buenos Airies on sunday, spèning a night there then heading 400km south to the party surf beaches where apparently anyone (argentines) who can afford it is holidaying at the moment! CANNOT wait to get some more use out the surfboard ive been lugging around too! should be a full month of beaches and surfing from sunday, get nice and black before we get home!
