Buenos dias!

So the WiFi in South America isn't quite as great as it could be - I'm writing this in the lobby of our hotel In Baraloche while we wait for our coach to arrive.  

The 14 hour flight didn't seem to take that long as we were both in and out of sleep for eight hours or so....the plane did a lot of shuddering and we had two bouts of pretty bad turbulence...but we arrived in sunny Beunos Aires safe and sound. We had a transfer to our hotel....driving along the widest road in the world (apparently), one of the first things we saw was a huge image of Evita on the side of a building. when we arrived at the hotel it was too early to check in so we freshened up and took a map and went exploring. We walked up to the main government area where they had sit in demos a bit like they used to have around Parliament Square...lots of people in tents with bannners. We then made our way to the weekly street market which was really colourful...there was live music and even a tango demonstration...lots of people squeezing fresh oranges at the side of the road and a big BBQ grill. The sun was shining....it was all good.
