So have just spent 4 days in Buenos Aires the capital of Argentina for those of lesser intelligence amongst you..I mean you Gerard!
Had wanted to see a couple of things whilst there including the palace where Juan and Eva Peron would have lived in their hey day..thats Evita to you and me no go see the film. Unfortunately for use everything we wanted to go and see was closed for restoration including the palace and the house of congress building. The only thing that we got to see was the Boca Juniors Football stadium. Man do those players have it rough..for the biggest club in Argentina the stadium and dressing rooms are no great shakes...we did get to see Maradonna's bench which was pretty cool.
Other memorable moment of BA was walking right into some Communist Left Wing demonstration where all the demonstrators were walking around carrying USSR and Che Guevera flags and banging drums..it wouldn't have been so bad had they not been wearing ski masks and shouting abuse at the locals!
All in all wasn't overly impressed with BA..didn't hate it but just didn't like it cause we couldn't see or do anything. Hightlight was the Tango Show which was brilliant and lowlight so far has been the serious ammount of mozzie bites I have attracted..15 and counting! They obviously like Moran skin better than Clayton skin!
