statue outside french embassygot up this morning and rose decided she wanted to have a look round so i plotted a route that would take in the local sights, this place is very very grand, we are in one of the posh areas, quite near the french embassy (when did they put blue and red in their flag).
the shops are very very snobby but look to be good value, hand made shoes etc. they also have proper polo shops with all the gear in.
it is so hot that walking around is unbearable, we spent a few hours this afternoon planning our trip to iguazu falls which is up north on the border with brazil and paraguay. its a 2 hour flight and we are going up sunday morning for 2 nights, bit of a shame as boca juniors have their first game on sunday evening and ill miss going to that.
ive been told that they are the most impressive falls in the world, ive been to yalding so they had better be special.
we went down to puerto madero for dinner, its a bit like docklands,the old docks were abandoned years ago and are all being done up, really lovely place,
the water was full of huge dead fish floating about ... bit odd really but the waters are a choclate brown colour so i would have been suprised if anything lived in there,we had dinner in one of the myriad of restaurants overlooking the waters, very nice evening was had by all
