Today has been a day of decisions. Where are we going to go on this trip? What are we going to do?
It's looking likely that we are going to bunk off the language school. Buenos Aires is great but there is so much else to see - a whole continent and it feels like it would be wasted spending too much time here. It feels very European and affluent. Not exactly what we imagined South America to be like but a great place to see all the same. It's difficult to know exactly which direction we are going to go.
It's been a fairly productive day. We've booked a ferry over to Colonia del Sacremento in Uruguay for tomorrow. Lunchtime was spent drinking wine, watching tango and then planning a trip which is only now feeling like it is actually happening. It'll be interesting to see what we eventually do.
Some things about Buenos Aires:
- They sell Nerds - I remember these from when I was younger, but they don't seem to sell them in England anymore
- Rush hour in another country is just as bad as back in London (the Subte is hot and no one talks - a couple of drinks helps the experience of being packed in with a load of Argentine commuters)
- The smell of food is amazing - steak, bread, etc
- Palermo feels like Paris.
