Buenos Aires, City of light

December 11, 2006

I arrived in Buenos Aires safely in the early hours, mega excited, didn´t really sleep at all through the flight and somehow got the arrival times wrong, its Monday morning instead of Sunday night, o well. The city is pleasantly European in style, it feels a little like driving through the back streets of Barcelona. I checked into my guest house in down town San Thelmo, a kind of semi smart, funky part of the city and had a look around. Its a really exciting vibrant city just to wander around on foot, downtown is busy and its the most amazing bright blue sky and beautifully warm. I spent the afternoon chilling out on the roof top pool of the Crowne Plaza Pan Americano Hotel, a kind of Uber relaxation zone for city hi rollers except or course I´m just paying to use the pool and enjoying the incredible panoramic views from the 23th floor. The question is how do I make this trip the holiday of a lifetime.

    Yo DTB (Dave The Buenos-Airean) glad to see you made it safely – didn’t forget to go, etc. Apparently there is a wicked bar on Avenida de Mayo (829) called Café Tortoni been around since the mid 1850s, got a pool at the back and singers perform at dusk – maybe you can throw some Saaaarf London Flamenco moves on their ass?
