Buenos Aires
Imagine. Imagine a small, smokey, dimly lit room. Imagine dark wooden tables with couples sharing bottles of wine around them. Imagine a small stage with a blood red curtain draped over it. Imagine a small harmonika starting a soulful song, then the quiet violine jumps in, followed by a gypsy guitar and the powerful piano. Imagine a couple dressed in 20´s suits coming onto the stage. Imagine the tango...
What can we say - we have been blown away by Buenos Aires, the shows, the music, the dance, the colours, the passion.
Well, after the slopes we painfully dragged ourselves out for a quiet night in Mendoza, the Argentinian wine capital. But as time is fast running out the next day we had to take a flight through a nasty thunderstorm to Buenos Aires. There we spent a couple days chilling around Palermo district (think designer labels and designer food). After a small break in BA we took a flight to the mighty Iguasu Falls. Unfortunately we could only spend a night in Iguassu falls but then again, there is only so much time you can spend watching water fall. Even though there is a drought going on in that part of Argentina the falls certainly didn´t fail to impress. They where enormous. Hundreds of little waterfalls tumbling from the edge of the rocky plateau.
We´ve returned to BA to spend our final couple days in South America. Buenos Aires is a lovely, lovely, lovely city with so much passion, so much good beef and good wine running through it that it would be impossible to have bad time. It´s amasingly european in feel. The architecture, the people and even the cars are european. To top it all off our hotel room has a balcony overlooking the main drag, Ave de Mayo. It is quite a sight.
Anyways we must say goodbye to Argentina (don't cry for us ... ) and head home. One night in Sao Paulo and then London. Adios
