Ah ... Buenos Aires ... at last we have arrived

Known as the Paris of South America for very good reason. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city with many flavours. The people are friendly and the city is full of life. We enjoyed a coffee at the famous Gran Cafe Tortoni situated in the worlds widest avenue, Avenida de Julio. This cafe has been open since 1858 and has been a favourite of many successful writers. We have been to The colourful area of Caminito in La Boca where it is said that Tango was conceived.





With time for sightseeing, taking in a Tango show, discovering how delicious the the local empanada is and shopping (great for leather jackets and shoes), our time in Buenos Aires was wonderful.

Tomorrow we leave for Iguazu Falls and some real adventure.
