Have just got back from Tango, was amazing. Bocatango´ínc. transfers to & from, dinner, theatrical mini-play & tango dancing - had a very nice three course meal, steak was pretty good but not as good as fridays at the Brazilian Argentina restaurant (go figure!) I have to say. Got some photo´s & film but unfortunately wasn´t allowed to take photo´s of the tango but for ayone in Argentina it is a must and the Bocatango in La Boca district of Buneos Aires (BA) was a brilliant setting for Tango, very modern but traditional at the same time. I´ll upload the photo´s when i´m a little more awake. Went straight out into BA on arrival at the hostel so have been awake now for nearly 24hrs so if there are spellings mistakes then so so. Got the bus transfer from the airport to Aldo Palmero which was only a further 10mins from my hostel - took me about 90mins all in all for P$50 so pretty good I think - airport was easy to navigate through and got a reasonable rate of P$3.20 to $1!! Hostel is very nice, good facilities and the dorm is nice.
Visited the Botanical and Japonese gardens - was so peaceful and calm, very nice. Also visited the Eva Peron museum which was really interesting actually - never knew that the military gov in argentina stole Eva Peron´s body shortly after her death and secretly buried the body under a false name in Milano, Italy. It´s now back in Argentina at the Recoleta cemetary but still it´s crazy what people will do! Finished my afternoon walking Av. Infanta Isabel which runs through a rather large and very nice public park where there were so many people dancing, talking, enjoying themselves around the lake. So many roller'skaters, runners and cyclists etc. was very nice atmosphere.
Trying to speak a little spanish but it´s not going so well, lol. I´ll keep trying. Heading to the ´Feria de San Telmo´ tomorrow late morning and then into centro, Plaza Mayo to explore the museums and architecture etc. If I have time in the afternoon going to try to squeeze in Recoleta as the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is meant to be very nice and free Going to end with dinner in Puerto Madero i think - which means i really should go to bed so that i´m not a walking zombie tomorrow
