Buenos Aires (14th - 18th march)First night we got to milhouse hostel was pretty hammered from the boat trip, went to sunset nightclub that night, really cool place, 3 floors of music, terrace with beds and everything! my limited spanish actually worked with a girl, alot of hard work tho! at the end of the night around 8 in the morning was a foam party, loads of dancing girls on poles aswell, sweet!
Paddys day went to boca neighbourhood with a few ozzy guys, we made a rule every 15 mins we walked had to take a beer break, just about made it in the end! that night went to kilkenney bar, serious queue outside but was good craic inside. Touristy things i guess was a river plate match and going to recoleta cemetery where evita is buried. glad to get out of BA tho after 5 days, way too much partying!! Went to our first parillas, in a place called des nevels in defensa, my god what a steak melt in your mouth and the wine vino tinto bien!
Rosario (18th march - 24th)Was very lucky to get a place here was easter holidays all argies come here to party, and we had nowhere booked! Stayed in a mad place called portal del rio, the hostel wasnt even finished when we stayed there, we were its first customers! Went to a club called Madame one of the nights over 4000 at it and the girls are smoking , i mean smoking! was a swimming pool in the place and everything! Dueing the day went to a private beach called Florida, on the river, def wouldnt swim in the river tho! Other night went to a bar called La luna good choice of music, was with an argentine girl from the hostel, very nice! Learned how to drink and make mate the equivilaent to irish tea, but a bit more involved and also fernet, the main drink in cordoba we go to next, blows the head of you! Also went to a place called la rosa for a few shows, interesting......
Cordoba (25th march -- 31 march)stayed in Baluche hostel in centro, did spanish lessons. Really good hostel, staff were really friendly and the backpackers who steyed there bang on. Nightlife is really good, and a hell of a lot of chicas seeing as its a university city, not that its a great thing when my spanish is terrible!
World Rally championship was on aswell, seem them on stage the night before it started. Went quad biking also, got nice and dirty and went ripping through streams! one night in the hostel we had an awesome barbie (I say awesome as americans always say that word or nardo ha!!) all the meat and salad and wine and beer you want for 26 pesos, works out about 6.50 euro, sweet!!
Farmer protest lasting 19 days is a nightmare, very hard to get out of here, was meant to be going to santa fe, but couldnt so went to resistencia for one nite to get out of cordoba and lead the way to iguazu. No meat in supermarkets raging, but lots of quilmes awwwwwrrrittee!!!
Puerto Iguazu (3 - 7 April)Stayed in hostel inn, renovated casino, serious spot, nice pool, nice rooms and great facilites but the disappointing thing was the backpackers, not much of a party atmosphere, always the last ones to bed...
But still had a great time, topped up on the tan, beat the local playing footie and met two cracking english girls from london, say no more... Went to iguazu falls and never seen anything like it, got drowned under the waterfalls when on the speed boat, and the rapids were cool aswell, but the sight when you get to devils throat is majestic, out of this world, you feel at one with nature....
Met some interesting local girls at the park and met them in the club in town that ngiht, reall good bars, good music, was a really good nite and got nice and merry on fernet and coke!!
