On Wednesday night we go with Flor and Martin to a modern ballet something I would never normally go to but it is short and varied enough to keep me entertained. More exciting is the thought of pizza and Brazilian cocktails afterwards which is enough to make us shamefully 30 minutes late for school the next day.One of our tasks at school this week is to buy certain http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-329228.html Well I suppose it would be fitting to talk about this weekend. I spent a large chunk of it outside of the city and now that I think about it this was the first time Irsquove left since Iguaz which now that I think about it was only a month ago. Lots of sudden realizations here. Thatrsquos all of course as long as you donrsquot count the few minutes that I spent on the other side of aveni http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-328978.html Finally with my studies all over and done it was time to travel for my remaining days here in South AmericahellipIf you asked me now I would tell you rite now im at a stage where I feel like this is my place and I actually feel like I live here and in a way im sort of really sad to be leaving very soonhellip.i mean literally I know the streets of Buenos Aires inside out now..know the customs http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-307316.html We got out of the city once again on Thursday. Our original plan was to take a ferry to Uraguay for the day but eventually decided to head North of BA to the Parana River delta instead. Getting there was not trivial. From our apartment we hopped on the subte and transferred to a second line which terminated at the Retiro train station. For less than 1 peso apiece we took a 40 minute commut http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-295442.html Tigre is basically a suburb just north of Buenos Aires. It takes over an hour by train because it stops every 30ft or so. It is on the delta of the Rio Parana. We took a boat tour through the delta and had lunch at a restaurant next to the water. http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-274288.html Hey kids I found myself back in BA with a renewed energy for touring traveling exploration and SuperBowl Fever Being so far removed from all that is american I didnt even realize that it was superbowl sunday until I was walking along the riverfront in town and saw the sign outside of Hooters which said tonight American Football Finals 2100 hrs I did a double take a reverse tran http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-246498.html Friday Feb 1I was going to meet a woman from Phoenix who Irsquod sat next to on the plane named Jeanne. She and I had planned to go to El Tigre we were to meet in the train station Retiro at 1000 am. I arrived at 1000 and waited and waited. By 1045 I got tired of waiting and decided to just go on by myself. Apparently she showed up a few minutes after I left. Time in Argentina is http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-243185.html A nice spotA favourite weekend destination of the portenorsquos B.A residents Tigre is a cool little town on the River Plata about an hour north of the capital. We grabbed the train from Retiro train station and were entertained by locals juggling singing and selling stuff like Nike socks ldquo2 for a poundrdquo and lottery cards. Arriving in Tigre itself we set off walking along th http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-239163.html Spend a great few weekends while Cheryl and Ron were in Argentina.. including a hilarious day out at Tigre.. http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-231797.html Back in NZ now after three months in South America.I have found it nearly impossible to leave Buenos Aires after I started getting comfortable there taking Spanish lessons making new friends and dancing every night. My plans to visit the Iguazu Falls and Patagonia were postponed and postponed until it was no longer possible. I did manage to take a day trip to Tigre last Sunday though on the f http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-220454.html Tigre The Delta 15th October 2007Waterways stilted houses quite walks along riverside pathways....restaurants and great Vino BlancoWe took the train up to Tigre and hopped on a river taxi which dropped us at a lovely point on the Delta. We strolled along the peaceful pathways admiring the quaint houses and happened upon an enticing restaurant.....the steak was great the intestines were n http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-216218.html Wir haben es geschafftMontag Madrid 10.30h Emilia schlaeft friedlich.

Emilia freut sich auch schon auf die Reise ber den groen Teich... http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-209058.html Hola This past weekend I enjoyed three wonderful days of beautiful weather in Buenos Aires and Tigre. To start Friday was Students Day a national holiday so my friends and I hit the bars on Thursday night to start celebrating I had one of if not the most fun nights Irsquove had in BsAs. I made an Argentine friend named Carolina who was really fun to talk to in Spanish. Hopefully we http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-205535.html Our bus picked us up at the hotel and drove to Tigre about 1 hour away. Tigre is near the mouth of the delta where the Parana River and the River Plate meet on their way to the ocean. We had a walking tour around Tigre and made our way to the canal for our 11 AM cruise up and down the canal. After the cruise we walked back to the bus pickup spot and drove for 45 minutes until we arrived at Linco http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-143169.html Gonna try remember everything after the first week fueled by drink You probably wont read it all but i want it as a keepsake as the beer is mushing me nogginsorry about the grammar in advanceWe arrived in BA on Thursday after what seemed like a week long flight from Heathrow. The taxi ride here was an experience the city is full of traffic but the taxi drivers just take the piss They dont http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-122523.html No more than 15 minutes away from Buenos Aires there is that little town called Tigre which half of it is built on the Delta. This part is only accessible by boat and there is about 4000 people living there. This does not include all the porteos the standard nickname for a resident of Buenos Aires who own a house ther and come for the weekend. Its a bit like the knokleZout for the Brussele http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-119903.html So i guess i have been bad with updates and stuff so i have devised a nice idea...i will keep a travel blogg...yup this is it...my travel blog. there are two reasons for this a i can share photos more easily and be whenever i put out an update and i still dont promise it will be more freuquent than once a month or once in six weeks you guys will automatically get an update and can see.

Am Delta wohnen Leutetrotz oder v http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-115991.html After school on I took a little train ride with a german classmate for 40min north to this little town called Tigre.It is at the river delta of paa and atlantic ocean so there are cananals everywhere.It was great to get out in to some fresh air smaller towns. will add some pics cos words will not paint the witre picture http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-114742.html so lets go camping someone said. all right. far from a welloiled trip we all either slept in by accident forgot sleeping bags or didnt bring the bug spray. nine people total two tiny tents and nine chorizos sausages for dinner... we were doing it all wrong. just the way we like it though. by the time gordo aye and i got to the campground after taking a bus through the city a train thr http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-107780.html When the weather is good Porteos flock to Tigre. Usually we join them by flocking to the Fruit Market area where the hoardes gather to buy handicrafts fruit and veg. This time we decided to eschew the masses and head on a walking tour of historic Tigre.The architecture around the back streets was nice and there was hardly a soul in sight. There's a monument marking the spot where the English http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-89097.html Sergio Joaqun and I decided to visit one of the areas considered the favorite natural playground for ldquoPorteosrdquo wanting to get away from the glassandconcrete surroundings of Buenos Aires during the weekends. ldquoEl Tigrerdquo or The Tiger in English is the destination and had been highly recommended by our various book guides and also by at least one of the many taxi driv http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-71377.html Hello Againjust ot let you know that the good news is that i now have pictures.Firstly below is Plaza Mayo pronouced in Argentina Platha Mashow.It is Mayo by the way although you may see me call it Mayor in some placesThe big white obelisk is the piramide de mayo. a small obelisk built to mark the first aniversary of BAs independence from spain.

Its only 30ks outside of Buenos Aires and is the gateway to all of the Delta which is only accessible by boat. Tigre itself doesnt have any suitable accommodation for this auspicious occasion. So after several hours of conversations in the tourist office and several pained Spanglish telephone conversations we are on o http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Tigre/blog-28834.html
