Well we arrived back in BA and into our new bed and breakfast for two nights.

Not too much to report except that we did a bit of shopping and I managed to pick up an Yves Saint Lauren tie for $50AUS. If we didn't have 3 weeks of holidays left, I would have bought a couple of suits as there about a quarter of the price!

We went on a Gaucho tour on Saturday which was out to a ranch to basically ride horses and watch a cowboy show. The horses only played follow the leader, and hardly responded to commands, and the show was crap. Basically we have decided self tours are far far better! And you don't get tortured by the spanish guide trying to speak english and still point out every icon for the whole day.

To close off on BA, it's an awesome city with plenty to do, and loads of good place to eat and drink. It's really really cheap as well. Stay in a bed and breakfast for about $40 per night for a room and you get to experience a whole different culture. Staying in Palermo was a great spot as well, really safe on the street any time at night, and close to bars and clubs.

We left BA for Iguazu on Sunday with the intention of becoming vegetarians for the rest of the trip!

B&B's
Yeah, try Soho Rooms in Palermo, just google them. Small rooms, but great spot. Right near the plaza with all the pubs, restaurants etc. About $40usd per night. Another we tried was 4229 Gorriti which was a beautiful place, but a little bit further from all the action.
