I demonstrated my Spanish skills on our first night in BA!

After traveling for 27 hours we went into the first restaurant/bar near our apartment. There was mear sizzling on a grill and people eating on a table near us. The menu was in Spanish and no one spoke English. No wifi. There was a list of individual items of meat on the menu and then what looked like a share plate. Using my powers of deduction, i thought 'what a good idea, what could go wrong' and ordered 2 serves.

Turns out it was a selection of lamb stewing chops (which were excellent), a chorizo sausage (which was very good) and various 'sweetmeats' and a black pudding (which were terrible!

Still, the local beer is good!Les mer

A very long day traveling - 27 hours elased time. All good, no missed flights etc.

Arrived in BA late afternoon and into the apartment in Recoleta early evening.

Apartment is very good, large and well equiped in a secure building. On the 8th floor with a balcony. AM found this through AirBnB.

As noted below, only problem was my choice of dinner.Les mer

Full day organised by AM.

Bus and boat cruise to the Tigre Delta. Introduced to dulce con leche which is basically flavoured condensed milk! Coffee will never be the same!

Did a city tour in the afternoon. Useful to get our bearings. Highlight was the rough area of la Boca. Lots of colourful buildings. Is now done for tourists but was originally because people scrounged for paint and ended up with multiple colours!

Jacarandas and bouganvillia everywhere. Could easily be in Brisbane! Temerature is very similar.

I was having trouble finding a money changer so used a hotel. When i had finished changing at a rate of 12/1 he then gave us directions to the money changer who was offering 14/1.

We were all tired at the tango show and we each kept nodding off but it was very good.

Markets tomorrow.Les mer

June Looney Just installed the 'app' which makes it so easy to follow instead of looking up 'Find penguins' every time. Another sleep and you will all be feeling much better. So exciting, have fun.
