A quick overview as we havent had internet for a while...
Spent the day lazily wandering the streets of Buenos Aires.
Found the bus station and then through the thousands of people managed to book an overnight bus to Mendoza for that evening.
The main transport in Argentina is by bus, and they do it very well too.
The bus is more like travelling first class if that is how much you want to pay. A seat which folds down to a bed, blankets and pillows, and two meals....our bus host even played Bingo with us with the winner taking a bottle of wine! funny stuff...although i had trouble with the numbers in spanish!!
All across the Argentina as we have seen now - there are railroads which have just been left to disrepair. Trainlines and bridges that have fallen apart, left and forgotten. Its a shame..i love train travel.
The afternoon was spent in Recoleta, which is the most exclusive part of town with high fashion and trendy shops etc.
We spent the time wandering the 'streets' of Recoleta Cemetary, which is lined with impressive stautes and marble tombs.
The cemetary is also home to a number of street cats - who seem to pose serenly around the place, looking out for those who lie to rest there.
wow love the photos
