Left on time last night after a lovely send off from our families. Good seats, quite a bit of sleep. Relatively painless considering it takes best part of 14 hours. Now arrived at our BA base for 6Läs mer

First real chance to explore the city. Went on the subway - which costs 23p per trip! Visited the cathedral but refused Clare's offer to take my photo with a lifesize Jesus on a donkey - people wereLäs mer

One thing we did not expect was that Argentina would be such a gf friendly country. We are lunching in a lovely restaurant called Sintaxis where we can eat everything. So we are having pizza andLäs mer

Having been to the dentist 4 times in the past 3 weeks in London... Lisa's teeth sprung a brand new problem the day before we left. It has been getting worse and progressed to pain on swallowing &Läs mer
Tim Stevenson Meep! Sympathy - not what you need at all. Such a releif that you both have (in Clare's case a little of) the lingo. I do hope the trouble quietens down and does not impinge on the trip any more.
Sheila Stevenson More love and sympathy winging it's way and hope much better very soon. xxxx

Explored the cobbled streets and antique markets of the old town today, ate some chorizo & pumpkin and Clare got snap happy with the street art.
Sheila Stevenson All amazing! What do you reckon the man in the pool clutching his mobile has on top of his head? A bird (a dove of peace?) a shower of sunlight (a blessing?) and a doughnut .....??! I don't think so. xxx

Took a tour of the opera house - Teatro Colon - very grand & sparkly. And made from marble shipped from Europe. Among the best acoustics in the world apparently, so said Pavaroti. Then to the Museo deLäs mer
