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, i found myself in morbid curiosity peering through inside looking at the coffins, some of them went down 2 or 3 stories.
the guide said that fresh flowers are put on evitas tomb every day but the ones we saw were all plastic, not like bobby moores.
every time i thought of eva peron i kept getting a picture of maddonna in my head and

thinking what a shame that twat guy ritchie wasnt in there.
that evening we went to a local parrilas where the meat was cooking inside on huge barbeques, i had a roast kidney starter and a rib of beef, well they were absolutely huge and we both agreed we woud have to take it easy in the food dept
