Hola otra vez Me again. As most of you now know i'm on my way back very soon (updated now back!). I'll fill you in on the final stage of the journey. I decided to head back to Argentina after my time in Rio. I got back to Buenos Aires and hit the same routine of watching football and drinking. It’s a hard life. I caught a Boca Junior game which now completes the set of Bs As teams. The best game in South America for atmosphere, which I’ve been to. We then went onto a club later that night. It was one of the strangest I’ve been to. They had a stage with the craziest dancing transvestites. Very surreal. I left Bs As pretty sharpish because the body couldn’t take any more nights out.

So, I arrived in Buenos Aires after all that waiting, at midnight. I collected my luggage and went to the airline office to collect my free cab ride to my newly chosen home, and she said no. They would only provide a cab if I had missed a connection, not for delays. So then I had to get a cab I would be paying for on my own, which made me angry as I knew it would be expensive. Plus, I don't trust cab drivers not to rip me off in a strange place. And of course, after this ride I felt ripped off beginning with the fact that the meter was running yet we weren't driving because he was chatting. Finally I asked him why we weren't moving and he began to drive. I finally ... read more

This weekend I have NOT been working! For example, yesterday, I woke up at 5am when Gabriella got up to feed the stalions. I then went back to sleep, until 6am, when Thea got up for work. I went back to sleep again. I woke up at 9am when Gabriella popped back in. I went back to sleep again. Fantastic! I eventually dragged myself up about 10am, and just sat in the sunshine reading until the workers bus left for the bright lights of Mercedes at lunch time. I have the weekends off with Ashley and Adi (we are the A team when we work weekends together). Adi now lives in the hostel in Mercedes. The hostel is a little run down, but very laid back, and Adi has been made very much part of the ... read more
