Beunos Aires

7th, 8th and 9th December

Arriving after the best nights sleep to the heat of a green house as the morning sun broke through the window of the boat and reflecting off the huge mirror clad skyscrapers.

We found our way round and manged to get some tasty braekfast of fresh orange, coffee and croissants for little more than 1.20 (pounds) for the two of us.

A short while later we made it to our accommodation for the next 3 nights.hostel sol A large 3 storey building with the most friendly family in the world, including the pet kitten "Soli" who loved chasing screwed up paper balls.

Our bid to find a new tent was soon successful as we came across more outdoor equipment shops than you can shake a stick (or a large branch) at.

The choice of food was amazing: tasty pasta along busy streets ideal for people watching, huge pizzas in a cosy local restaurant, fresh salads with cheery waiters. The best meal being an amazing vegetarian all you can eat buffet with unlimited drinks and a scrummy selection of puddings. We bumped into a fellow Londoner and had a chat about weird parents, travelling and dodgey hoteliers; all in all a great afternoon.
