we had a lunchtime flight so had a couple of hours round the pool and got to the airport at about 1.15 for the 2.15 flight back to b/a ... only a 1 1/2 flight back but we circled the airport for 45 minutes before we could land so it seemed forever, we got back to the hotel and changed for our last dinner out as we have decided to call it a day and get away in the morning back to blighty, a very pleasant dinner and a couple of drinks and we were ready to call it a day. whilst we had been away they had had some strange weather in buenos aires, 40 degrees two days before but it was absolutely pouring down when we got back and had been for 24 hours. ... read more

had to be out by 6.45 as we had a 8.15 flight to iguazu falls, we got to the airport ok as its almost in the centre of the city, we had already booked in online but still had to put the bag in the hold as it had shampoos etc in, which seems such a waste, does that mean people with only hand luggage dont wash ?? we arrived in igauzu ay about 10 and got a cab straight to the hotel,we chucked the bags in the room and made straight for iguazu national park. we got a cab to the park and the cab driver insisted he knew what the best thing to do at the falls was. I had already made my mind up that we were going to have a stroll around ... read more

absolutely baking again today so we have decided to visit the huge lido in the north of town in the park area. we caught a cab and it took us along the front between the river plate and the airport. quite an experience getting in, we got turned away as we had visited the medical area, so back we went to the medical area, you had to have a shower and then the doctor checks your feet to make sure you are ok to go in, rose wasnt happy as some of the people seemed to having a nit test in their hair, which was nice,when we finally got in we queued up and rented a brolly and some loungers, the place must have had 2-3000 people in and the water at its deepest was about ... read more

had to be out of the hotel this morning as we are moving over to val paraiso, the weather was poor when we got up as it has been a few times since we got here, it starts off bad and then the sun comes out around lunchtime. we had booked a boutique hotel for a couple of days and when we got to the hotel it was fantastic, right at the top of the hill overlooking the bay, the town is built on very steep hills all looking down onto the sea, and the hills are so steep there is the vernicular (??) cars to take you up. the town is a world heritage site because of the english and german architecture, my grandad told me about the alterations the germans did to our architecture ... read more

had to be out sharpish as we had a 7.30 flight to buenos aires. flight went off without delay and we arrived at the hotel at about 12.15. the only holdup was protesters blocking the main road in town causing a detour, apparently they are various mainly left wingers who want to be involved in the political process but are being squeezed out, a very scary bunch as the majority wore masks and carried clubs etc, the fat fucker in the picture was strolling around with a baseball bat, he made bob crow look ok even though we know hes a complete c&%t as well. anyway we unpacked and went for a stroll, we came across the cemetario where eva peron is interred, the place is fascinating, the place is huge and thetombs are very grand, ... read more
