A quick beer in Buenos Aires, it appears, is similar to a quick beer at the windmill. There is a high chance you arent coming back until tomorrow!
We have arrived in the party capital! We dumped our bags in our hostel on Tuesday and headed our for some Chopp - draught beer, a real rarity so far. So we pounced at the chance of a quick lager before getting some dinner at the supermarket. On our way out of the bar, we bumped into a table of Aussies, Canadians and Brits and got chatting. Beers follows beers and soon we were eating stakes and then moving on to more bars ending in the wee hours of the morning. Made some great friends though!
As well as teaching the locals how to drink, we have also been devouring kilo after kilo of meat. Some of the best and biggest steaks I have ever eaten for around five pounds. Well, why not at that price!
Did a great City tour yesterday and saw the great parts of town, with some history, a few awkward Malvinas memorials and lots of cosmetically enhanced women. If you have health insurance here every two years you are entitled to a free cosmetic procedure! Tomorrow we will do another tour and visit the Boca - an old part of town where the people were so poor back in the day, they used the left over paint from ships to paint their houses. The result is an incredibly colourful street with all the houses contrasting bright shades.
More to come, we plan to stay for a few more days before heading to Patagonia way down south but there is plenty more to happen here so until then... Salut!
