That's life in Buenos Aires

David behind the desk at PAX Hostel in Buenos Aires - in a great area called San Telmo. There is always a party ready to happen unless it is Monday night when they all head to La Bomba De Tierre for a night of drumming that is hypnotic!


Kanga Blue checking out the certificates and no Aussie flag


Nico is the charming French guy who works in the dungeon bar at nights. He really wants to head to Australia and I'm sure he will break a few hearts when he arrives!


The mottly crew drinking at PAX.


Yes I passed my week of Spanish School with the craziest teacher - had a  brilliant time !


Peurto Madera is the newest barrio in BA with many similarities to Southbank.


Parrilladas are the fabulous meat eating extravaganzas that are an absolute  must and a vegetarian nightmare.  Sandra was keen to try the vegies - they are hard to find!

Street drumming bands walk through the antique markets at San Telmo.
Recoleta Cemetery where the crowds flock to see Eva's grave- an enthralling walk through the  history of Argentina.


Casa Rosada is the famous house in the centre of Buenos Aires where Eva Peron  came to visit her adoring Argentinians.


Diego is the charming owner of Elefante Rosa Hostal in Buenos Aires  - a gorgeous grand old house with stained glass ceilings and exposed brick walls.
