Cordoba

CORDOBA - a biggish city with a biggish city feel. Nice mix of modern and colonial with a funky little arts market on weekends. Tried a glass of white wine. The waiter didn't know what grape, just that it was white and its brand name - I think it was straight from the wandering vines of Chateau de Baghdad - urghhh! I´m sure there are some very cheeky whites in Argentina but I´ll avoid that minefield in future and stick to the extremely reliable Malbecs and Cabernets.
Did we mention earlier about no more overnight bus trips? So with some trepidation we boarded the midnight red-eye express to Buenas Aires. 9 and half hours and Penny slept 10 hours. I don´t know hows she done it but I knows shes done it!!!
We arrived in BA and checked into our room which has a bidet - let´s give this rascal a run for the first in my life - that certainly tickles in all the right spots.

CORDOBA- a fun city, easy to navigate and plenty of taxis day and night. A high presence of people with disabilities and of course the homeless street/park dwellers. Some very trendy shopping and cafes boasting pizza and lomo (meat and more meat). However, the highlight for me has to be the bus trip to BA (provided with blanket, pillow, dinner, dessert, coffee, cognac and a movie - a 1st class experience. I even gave the bus toilet a try with great results. Did I mention the women in Cordoba are big. Gary thinks it´s the breeding ground for the women´s Puma front row.
