From Jacutinga Lodge we fly to Buenos Aires where we stay in an Art Deco Hotel, full of Warhol prints and fashionistas.
We try to make sense of al fresco art and ...
... get right into cafe life.......
... street markets
... lively tangos!
We sail down the River Tigre with all its exclusive riverside homes.
We take a bus ride round the city, looking at the sites, including the Boca Juniors' football stadium where Maradonna is still worshipped and Juan Pablo Angel started his career - Anton is caught about to take off with the South Americas' Cup!
In the evenings we would walk the sultry streets in search of modest, local cuisine (yet more meat!) and met loads of friendly people of all nationalities, including a group of Mexicans who'd kept in touch since they were at school together, the last 4 survivors of bachelorhood from their original primary school group. Now just Pedro and his 3 mates remain!
An evening's entertainment with tango artists & band (it was very dark!)
