Buenos Aires

In comparision to Brazil it is cheap and has a european feel. We spent many hours bustling around the brilliant shops and markets trying to resist the bargains, especially on leather goods.

We arrived at midnight assuming we had missed our first night out due to our delayed flight, however we still had time to find a hostel, have a shower, drink a few bottles of wine and still make it to a club. BA is definitely a party city!

We stayed at Millhouse hostel which hosted a fancy dress party on halloween. A few hours before kick off we decided we would dress up... looking at the pharmacy across the road we decided we would go as mummy's.. a slight underestimation of bandages left us with bare arms and legs, but we made up for it with our crazy hair and makeup.

We attended a killers concert and went to Pacha (one of the biggest clubs in BA)... both were absolutely amazing!! Unfortunately in Pacha our money and camera were stolen which put a bit of downer on the evening. To make up for it we decided we come back the following weekend and go to the creamfields festival... best decision ever! Partying from 6pm - 6am we loved every second of it.

By day we visited the famous Recoleta cemetry where Evita was burried. It was like walking down streets rather than through a grave yard with the gravestones towering above us with amazing architecture and statues. We also visited the colonial town of La Boca, which had live music, tango dancers in the streets all the buildings were multicoloured.
