Blondes have more fun in Buenos Aires!

---

After really long flight, arrived at hostel to find Muzz had already checked out! Oh dear! It was pretty skanky and very noisy, so moved to Muzz´s new hostel the next day. This one is very clean and friendly, and all the doors are painted with bright tango pictures.

Anyway, the next day we went for a wander round some of BA. The architecture here is stunning. We saw the Teatro Colon, which is a massive theatre. Hope to go inside sometime this week. Also visited the Obelisk, and the Palace of Justice, which is another beautiful building.

Met a slightly crazy New Zealander in my dorm so the three of us went out to eat. We all had Veal Milanesa. It was absolutely huge - so glad we only ordered two between us! Food is really good and so cheap here.

We decided to make a bit of a night of it so went onto a bar then a couple of clubs. As we didn´t really know where we were headed, ended up in some slightly dodgy places. The first club wouldn´t let us in as we weren´t on the guest list, until a local guy came past and persuaded the bouncers to let us in with him. Then we couldn´t get rid of him. He kept telling me how beautiful I was - like I minded that! My blonde hair is attracting a lot of attention round here, so Michelle and I had quite a crowd of guys to talk to. They seem to be fascinated by the English, especially the blonde ones. They do say that blondes have more fun! Didn´t get home until 6am , so pretty crazy!

Anyway, was contemplating getting my hair dyed darker but the next night we went for a lovely meal with some girls from law school. Had a bit too much wine as the price of it is so scandalous! We went to a club called Opera Bay in Puerto Madero, which was quite trendy and looked a bit like Sydney Opera House! The people hanging out there were much better looking, and my blonde hair worked wonders once again as ended up with free drinks! So, decided I´d keep it for now. Before we knew it it was 6am and the sun had come up over hte river. No wonder I´m so tired. Having so much fun though!

Hiya Sarah
At last I have time to write a bit, it has been scarily busy here. I will tell you all about it when you get back but basically I now have three clients all weanting me to work at least thirty hours a week. It sounds like you're having a great time (I'm not jealous, I will however go away and sulk for a week.) Continue with the good stuff, keep us in the loop. John

Hi John, thanks for your message. Today I have flown over Iguassu Falls - absolutely stunning. Loads of photos to show you when I get back! Hope work is a little slower.
