"is that girl really that white?" they said to one another After 4 days in Dallas, 11 hour overnight flight, we have finally arrived in Buenos Aires. We got a Remis taxi from the airport to our hostel which cost 76 pesos, around 12 pounds. Our hostel is in San Telmo part of Buenos Aires, which has loads of cafes, bars, shops etc close by. The hostel itself is really nice. Very chilled and our room in very comfortable. Poor IB got bitten to death by the mozies, (as usual) so he now looks like a pin cushion. We will go to the pharmacy to see what they can do, but he will live. Mozie net will be removed from ruckie and used tonight as it should have been last night, but we were too tired. Walked around this morning and this places gets hotter and hotter. We eventually arrived at the bus terminal and got our bus booked to Iguazu Falls. It is an over night bus journey, but we paid a wee bit more to get comfy seats, air con,free bar and food (approx 31 pounds each - compared to 26 pounds and you have to sit with the luggage ha ha) We leave on Friday night and plan to spend a few days there and work our way back to Buenos Aires in 3 weeks time. Not sure where we will end up, maybe Mendoza, which is the wine producing capital of Argentina...sounds like us.....We were planning on going down to Patagonia, but it is too far away and costs too much for a flight. We might try and get down that way when we are in Chile, but around Santiago there are also 14 vineyards, so the chances of us going else where are slim...We should have stayed at home and gone to the off licence, but the weather is much nicer here, so I suppose it is worth the trip. ha ha....Will update when we can , but cant see it being for a few weeks, but we might be lucky and get an Internet cafe up a hill somewhere...we are both very happy and very very chilled (In IB´s case very bitten )and that is without any Mate Tea...(Sloany and Luisa you know what we mean)
Love to you all...The Blues

Glad to hear you finally made it out of Texas and that you're having a good time. Hope Beni and Jeni are adjusting to the heat OK.
I'll have a drink for you tonight in honour of mum and dad's 40th...sure you'd rather be in Strathaven than Buenos Aires (er.....).

Our new neighbours seem nice although we are missing the smell of barbecue from over the wall.
Have fun.
