    Day 1 - Buenos Aires walking tour

    September 10, 2023 in Argentina ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    📍Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Well, we had the journey from HELL to get here (we're talking 47 hours of travelling and 24 hours delayed), but... *we're finally in Latin America*... Yay! Never been so happy to see a hostel bed in my puff.

    Today, we went full Tommy Tourist mode and did a walking tour through the city, seeing some incredible buildings and local festivals. The city is a really interesting mix of feeling like you're in France or Italy, but with more of an arty edge. Think hole-in-the-wall taquerías, vibey street markets, and graffiti streets. I loved it! Felt super safe, which put Adam's mind at rest after months of YouTubing cartel violence and jewellery robbing 😅

    Oh, and there was a free zoo right in the middle of the city with an elephant and lion chilling there. ¿Qué? Odd.    Read more

    Day 2 - Palermo Soho graffiti tour

    September 11, 2023 in Argentina ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    Yep, more walking tours. This time, it was a graffiti tour around our hostel area called Palermo Soho, which was achingly cool. Essentially, it's legal to graffiti in Argentina if you ask the wall owner so there are some beautiful works of art on almost all the walls which take days and weeks to create. Lots of football focused murals, which you might expect for a nation who are absolutely fanatical about it, and then some random ones commissioned by parking garage owners, restaurants etc.

    Thinking our house's walls could do with a spruce up when we get home, petition for a taco dedication artwork starting soon.... watch this space.

    And yes, the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice Adam's been wearing the same trousers since we left the UK, which he slept on the floor in, and I have the cheek to be wearing a scarf in 22°C when I'm Scottish #backpackinglife    Read more
