We got the boat back from Montevideo (Nick, your copy of the Full Montyvideo is on it´s way) to Buenos Aires on Monday and spent another couple of days in this Great City. It´s like being in a European city with Indian prices ... so clean toilets AND cheap beer!
We´ve walked around many areas of Buenos Aires and haven´t found one we don´t like. We´ve watched a Tango show which Brucie would have been proud to compere - instead we had a smooth Argentian crooner leading the way. We´ve wandered around antique markets and almost bought some bedside tables but realised our rucksacks are quite full already.
But I think we really fell in love with Buenos Aires when we spotted a poster advertising a 2-day music festival, which, wait for it, DURAN DURAN are headlining!! So, we bought tickets (obviously) and are now shaping our Argentian tour around seeing the Brummies back in BA on 3rd December. (Also featuring Macy Gray and Simple Minds - see www.personalfest.com.ar for full line-up!)
And it´s hot and sunny. Sorry. At least you can all watch I´m A Celebrity.

Best Possible Taste
Only a couple who share a mutual appreciation of dodgy 80s music would shape a visit to Argentina around the cultural jewel that is a Duran Duran concert. What about going to see Maradona tape his TV show too. Will the Australian leg centre on Midnight Oil? Miao!! PS Getting into Radio 2 and Classic FM while you are away - classy it is, too. PPS I am a very hard cat, all the local moggies think so and keep away when I go strollin' da hood. Thought you should know.
