Rach by boat!Rach by boat!Rach by boat!

This was taken on our first day in Buenos Aires - think the boat is a museum but we didnt go inside as we were too hungry.
Hi everybody, you will have to excuse my typing as two off my fingers are strapped together (i very nearly broke one, but think its just bruised but very swollen) so we have actually had use for our first aid kit...hurrah!

Anyways, Buenos Aires is fantastic lots to see and do but really grubby (in places) but then i´m just not a city girl! We have been to a few markets and seen a few street performers doing the Tango Argentino - what with rich´s bad (now right knee) and my strapped up fingers no we havent been tangoing but we did go to a tango show last night which was cool and narrowly avoided being dragged up on stage...food is dirt cheap as is the wine and a bottle of champagne was only a fiver. Anyway Rich is banging on at me for writing too much saying none of you will have time to read this so we¨ll just skip to the photos. love to you all. next stop iguassu falls. Rich and Rachxxxxxxx

hello rach and rich, you guys are finally out of the uk...we miss loads already but i know you will not forget this trip of a lifetime. always remember where your from but if you find somewhere nice, you have friends that will visit. the weather looks dodgy and i could do with seeing more landscape images of Beunos aires. I like the car of death, it looks like a sculpture. also can you send me a pair of glasses. much love from me and luca xx, stay safe

Hello
Hi Rach and Rich! Good to hear from you both. Sorry about the fingers Rach, what did you do? Anyway, news since you went is as follows: Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin got stung by a stingray and is dead - very sad. Anna's house in London got broken into and she got all 3 intruders arrested - very frightening (and she's absolutely fine btw). I have a cold - very boring. Take care you two and no more injuries!!! Lots of love, Giles

Terrible news, we saw it on argentinian tv but obviously didn´t quite understand what had happened just got the "morta" bit. As to fingers its a long story but its not so bad as i have not only had to learn how to type on these dodgy keyboards but also with only one finger on my right hand!

Anna
Really sorry to hear what happened, i read it first on Will and Kate´s blog. I hope she is okay and not too shaken up. Good thinking re the window, i am not sure i would have been so cool headed, how did they get in. Send her all my love and keep safe xxx
