Palermo Today we visited Palermo, which is a district of BA which is incredibly wealthy and has a number of idyllic botanical and Japanese gardens, amazing apartments on tree lined avenues, European style Deli's and some really cool boutiques that easily compete with best in Europe and the US. Also in the same area are tons of upmarket bars which in the day are home to numerous young designers looking to catch a break and at night are packed with a more sophisti...

Recolecta Today we visited on of the most popular tourist attractions in Buenos Aires, the cemetery in Recolecta.

Fortunately we travelled in 1st class, and Argentinean coach companies definitely don't replicate National Express! Entertained by movies on plasma TV's that have only just hit the cinema, hot meals, fully reclining seats, champagne and a Whiskey night cap ce...
