Hasta La Huego Buenos Aires

It's our fourth and final evening in Buenos Aires. We have enjoyed our time in the city, but in truth it doesn't match the excitement and buzz that is to be found in Rio. We saw all the major sights over the weekend, went to a fantastic tango show at a little cafe/bar, wandered through the famous antiques market at San Telmo, and today we have been to Tigre, a lush sub-tropical delta 25km outside the city, where we took a really leisurely boat trip along the river.

One of the key purposes for visiting BA was to try the world famous steaks, and visit a paradilla or grilled meat restaurant. Considering we have both at some point in the last few days been exclusive members of the 'Cannot live without Imodium' club, we decided yesterday that with only 24 hours left in the city this was an opportunity we simply could not pass up. As such, we went to the highly recommended Siga La Vaca (or 'Follow the Cow') in Puerto Madero, a pretty renovated docklands area in the city. Wow, it was fantastic! We have never seen so much meat in all our lives. There was a huge huge barbeque, a salad counter that had Bi's eyes popping out of her head, all in endless supply together with an endless stream of french fries. We indulged ourselves rather gluttinously with Bi even tasting a morsel of steak. Ash had every different type of meat under the sun, including a new first for him... pig's intestines, which he thought was delicious and tasted like crispy sausages (he had two helpings). All of this was washed down with pitchers of beer (coke for Bi... lightweight!) and cost a grand total of 7 quid each!

Tomorrow, we catch a very early flight to Ushuaia, the most southerly city in Argentina, and indeed the whole world. We hope to get on a boat to Antarctica, so this may (fingers, toes and all limbs crossed!) be the last post for a couple of weeks. Will upload a load of photos when we get to a hostel with a better pc!
