Well we have had some interesting times since i last wrote....Friday we decided to have a walk around and see some of the sights etc, basically, to cut a very long story short we got it wrong from the time we walked out of the hostel...we walked out turned left and followed the map up to where we thought Plaza de Mayo was and then proceeded to get a bit lost but eventually found Recolleta where we went and saw Evita Perons Grave/tomb in the massive (and impressive)cemetary - my feet were ripped to shreds and i stopped to put some plasters on and then proceeded to wonder around the cemetary trying to find Evitas one - walked a full circle only to notice my bloody Prada handbag still on the bench i had left in on 15 minutes earlier - thank god i had not realised it was gone until then as i think i would have died on the spot from a heart attack - there was our hole lives in cluding all mopney and cards as well as phones and keys for the hostel. Phew! Anyway we then somehow found our way to the shopping steets and then tried to get home, we took a tube to where we thought the hostel was only to eventually find out that we had been reading the map upside down the entire day - this would explain the fact that every time we turned down a street it seemed to be the wrong way! and we ended up not on the map any more and had to take a cab home - all the spots we had gone to during the day are in fact only a few minutes walk away from where we are staying, we managed to take a day to do it - at least we saw most of Buenos Aires!!! We bring out the Blondes in each other me thinks. So, friday night we went to a bar recommended by a friend of Annelis friend and then on to a very posh club called RUMI in Palermo - we mentioned the guy who owns the places name and were let inside with no problmes, had a bit of sushi at 12 at night - thats around the time they stop serving food and it turns into a club - played great music - starting off with a bit of Hotel Costes 'I like London in the Rain' ironically enough... we made few boy friends there - very cute Rugby player, only 22 though! They were very sweet boys, but then got a l;ittle aggressive and demnading so we eventually ran away from them at around 5am and cabbed home. Saturday was spent doing some more walking around and with our new Aussie mate Mike, who is a big lad and thus the comments are kept to a minimum while walking around the town. saturday night was 'SOUTHFEST' night - massive party with Ladytron and Deep Dish amounst others, it was at the Docs not very far from here, open air and 20,000 people!! Bloody huge! Great time getting home at around 6am this time, not before getting an Argentinian leech attached to us quite early on in the evening and refused to leave us alone - pretty annoying but did a lot of jumping around and making friends with all the amazingly cooked people there! Exhausted and needless to say no sleep - its pretty danm noisy in this hostel with people only getting in around 6 to 9am and then the others wake up at about that time so we basicallay just got up, and got ready to go to our first ever live Football match. Quite a biggy as it turns out, BOCA vs Independiente - basically the final of the Argentinian league - over 100k people there - the most incredible atmosphere i have ever been in - these people take their football extremely seriously! We were Boca supporters but sitting with the Indi supporters, we needed to pretend we were supporting them... anyway when Boca won Mike decided to take a photo of them which the others did not think was cool - next thing Annelie was flying forward and i was flying to the right into the people in front of me - yup - do not take a picture of the winning team if you are sitting with the losers! Shots and tear gas and everything - fantastic!!!!!! anyway - i am hogging the PC so must fly - dont worry photo's are to follow soon!!
Love you allxxx
