MATT:Ok so making our way into the beautiful city of Buenos Aires we jumped into a taxi and headed for Amy's house (a friend I worked with about 4 maybe 5 years ago and have only seen once since then). so the taxi does what they do best a take a couple of extra turns and pretends to be alittle lost lol. but jumping out of the taxi i see that Amy has a yoga school and i giggle to myself as, Lets just say Amy was never the yoga type lol.So we get in Amys very nice house and chill out at for a while, amy telling us how she has been getting on and me and marcia telling her about our trip so far.Amy, Marcia and me had some breakfast together then me and marcia headed into town. We walked a little and came across some nice cafe's and restaurants, very italian looking me and marcia were thinking. Strolling down some place in the street i had no idea but it was very nice, we were next to the river and what a beautiful day it was turning into. We tried to get into the big park on the
river side but they were closed for some weird reason, oh well we where thinking we will go again, (we never went again lol).after a nice strole around and really enjoying our time already we headed back to amys place.Meeting Mariano (Amys boyfriend) we both were thinking what a nice guy, very friendly and welcoming. That night Mariano cooked alittle food for all of us, some nibbles and wine later we head to bed.Next day Me, Marica and Amy headed for Recoleta, Amy had some work to do so just dropped us off. So only me and marcia to defend for our little self's, first thinks first food lol, after waiting about a hour for our drinks and food we headed to check out some grave stones and F*** ME they were huge like houses or very small planets. The day was beautiful and so we heard that their is a huge metal flower that only opens when the sun is out so we went on a mission to find it and after a orange juice and a couple of kisses from marcia i found it, little marcia would be lost without me.Getting quite lost we came across some bars
Graveyard
The Graves were the size of houses and you coud see the coffins inside..freaky... and clubs which is always a great find, so we called amy and Mariano to join us for a drink were we had a couple of games of pool then headed out to get some food. Amy and Mariano treated us to the dinner which was very nice of them and after we headed home for a well deserved sleep.So today we wanted to head for LA BOCA (where all the houses are painted lots of different colors)Amy told us the directions and said "what ever you do dont cross the road, get the bus on the side you get off at the metro".Amy thinking i have a brain the size of a large chest nut me and marcia headed for La boca.getting of the metro we cross the road and get on the but that says LA BOCA. "Great we are on our way", 20 minutes later we think we are there and we get off at some markets where we find out very soon we are in the wrong place lol. so we get on another bus and is headed the same way we have just come from this is where it click that we crossed the road
lol oh well, so in the end we made it and what can i say BEAUTIFUL, all the color's the people doing tango all over, amazing. After walking around and just really enjoying the views and the color's, we got some pizza and uuuuummmm soooooo good, we were stuffed and very happy with ourselfs lol. Best Pizza in the world!After heading home we popped into the cinema to check out some movie times and they were playing the movie that we both wanted to see REAL STEAL, so with an hour till the movie started we headed home chilled out and then went to watch the movie.I want tell you too much about the movie, but go and watch it its so good.The next day me and Marcia took the underground and a bloody wooden train came it was so beautiful with old shanderlears hanging from the roof and everything made from wood. we walked around in Palermo, the Italian Part of Buenos Aires, and later that day Amy and Mariano came and met us for drinks and some food later we headed back for a good rest.The next day all of us headed to the park were we had
some drinks and played some footy with the local tramps lol, (he was quite good). planning a big night out we headed back were i think amy had a power nap and we got ready. headed out we wanted some food and Amy and Mariano said we must try some local food and we orded a grill of all the different meats, there was so much that we could not finish it, there where pigs EVERYTHING on that grill lol if you know what i mean. Heading out to party our life away we went to out first bar had some drinks and i was so tired lol but happy to push through but thank god the rest of the people were tired so headed home about 3am so not a bad try i think.Next day. we wanted to head to Tiegre, to the local theme park with rides so one train and a bus ride we made it to what looked like a childs under 8 theme park lol. So we decided to walk around first and have a think about it. We checked out some old art and crafts place were we got Amy alittle gift, a beautiful
dream catcher or as the Argentine people call it ´Angel caller´. Walking back to the theme park we walked past an old begger with only one leg we only had big notes so just walked past, untill marcia said we should head into the casino and put 100 local money on black ás a joke´ and give him the winnings, so thinking it could be fun we headed in changed 100 walked upstairs 100 on black please 20 seconds later it fell on black and we walked out with 200. Casino 0 - Marcia and Me 1 lol. so headed back to give the guy with one leg 100 pesos, good deed done, you should have seen his face!So happy with ourselfs we headed into the theme park where we were told we had about 3 hours for the rides, got in and got on one ride was ok then all the ones we wanted to go on where closed so we were alittle pissed and talked to the manager and after about a hour we walked out no the richer lol. so we didnt really enjoy that theme park at all lol.Our leaving day. Amy and Mariano had been
so nice and made us feel very welcome that we wanted to get them a little gift so we rushed around all the shopping places looking for a gift and that when Marcia rememberd that their blender was shit and Mariano risked his life everytime they wanted a drink lol. but the price was alot but again they had been so nice to us and we needed to give then some money for the meal the night before so we instead of buying the meal should put the money into the blender. We both new that Mariano would not be happy with us paying for the meal so when we tryed to pay for the meal he did not want it. Plan b was to spent the money on the blender so we rushed out and got the blender for them. They were so happy and so were we minutes later we popped into the taxi for the airport. A sad good bye but made a good friend Mariano what a legend oh and you Amy lol. BYE BYE ARGENTINA
