Nigel's Travels
I arrived back in Buenos Aires again for a couple of days on a 18 hour bus journey and have just flew to Lima Peru today. It?s been a pretty crazy two days in BA. On Saturday I went to Southfest a massive all night music festival down by the docks. Some of the acts were not so good but Faithless were excellent live. Then on Sunday a few of us decided to go to a Boca Juniors game. We wanted to do it on our own rather than a organized wrapped in cotton wool experience. Now we have got out alive I can say I am glad we did it but it was crazy. A local told us to ware our Boca T/shirts to help fit in but we got caught up with some rival fans and it was getting a bit dodgy. The riot police battered a few of them quite randomly and we managed to get through them to the stadium. I couldn?t take too many photos as it was too dodgy, the ones I got were from where the police were stood. We managed to watch the game from under one of the stands so avoiding the bags of piss, spit and ripped chars that rained down at various intervals. As for the game the football was excellent, Boca won 4-1, and we managed to get out with no incidents and walk back to the hostel. I have just arrived in Lima on a very early flight this morning so will making up on the 6 hours sleep I have had in the last 3 days. That?s it for now. Nige
