I kid you not. Probably further as that's as the crow flies. But before we get to that...
On Friday in BsAs we went to la boca as intended and strolled around taking in all the beautiful bright colours and vibrant atmosphere to match. Caught a tango show out front of a cafe (one of many) as we sat and sipped coffee on a day far too hot to be drinking hot drinks. Got a couple of photos with the dancers (for a tip) plus many many more photos around the area. The colourful area is surprisingly small, and outside of that it gets a bit grotty and not a nice place to be at night just as our hostel kindly let us know, otherwise we might've stayed longer. Had a look around the market there, one guy painstakingly cut out the features of coins and there were a few nz ones including an old penny, bit pricey for us though. Saw the famous football ground (that elton john and james blunt had played at the night before, they were busy doing the cleanup when we walked past so got to peek in through the doors at least). On our way to la boca we went to the national museum briefly, ate lunch in a plaza, saw loads of wicked graffiti, old guys playing chess and a stunning blue and white russian orthodox church as well. Apparently it is disrespectful to turn you back and especially sit with your back facing a russian orthodox church.
That evening a few brazilians that we'd been chatting too at the hostel invited us along for a drink at a dutch bar that played decent music, a rarity in SA i believe - turns out heineken in argentina tastes really good, tho MUCH better value from the supermarket like everything (28 pesos vs less than 5 pesos/litre). Had some delicious freshly made (better have been for the wait) spinach and cheese empanadas there too. Fun times.
We decided that if there were beds available we'd delay our departure another day as the brazilians had mentioned a place in town that also played good music that they were going to on saturday night. Also wanted to check out the saturday markets at the plazas in Palermo. So glad we lucked out on the bed situation by being early to rise (australians got kicked outta the bunk room tho) as the markets were great - got a toe ring and "reserved" the prettiest dress as we didn't have enough cash left after our delicious lunch at Krishna (ate too much once again). After a much needed siesta and a friendly chat over an al fresco dinner with great cheap wine and giant heinekin we hit the town with said brazilians at SICK club (interesting taxi ride to get there, driver had no clue, kept asking people on corners for directions and even turned the wrong down a one way street! and dropped us off a few blocks past the place then tried to get a 5 peso tip when mathias had known exactly where it was the whole time, what cheek!) Turned out mathias had somehow got us on the door or got us in for free at least. Anyway had a great night dancing dancing dancing to good music (for the most part, got a bit 80s for a while), got to bed about 7am with check out that morning...
k gotta run, too much to catch up on but more to do to add to the catching up-ness
