It takes two to tango

Back in Buenos Aires and it's great to feel the warmth again. It's also great to get our clothes washed at a proper launderette rather than just in the sink!!!

Our anniversary was lovely. We went for dinner then our tour guide, Federico, took us to an awesome speakeasy bar. It looked like we were going into a big fridge in a florist and wine shop but the secret door took us downstairs and into a fab bar where we had cocktails. Tim looked it up online the next morning and it's featured in the Telegraph's luxury travel section.

We also had a bottle of wine and a lovely note from Federico wishing us a happy anniversary when we got back to our room...it was so nice.

The day after we took a bike tour of the city which we wouldn't have done by ourselves as the drivers are crazy.  We took in the southern neighbourhoods including the rough La Boca where Federico told us to put our cameras away.  We cycled through the eco reserve which was full of purple flowers and butterflies which was a complete contrast.

In the evening we went to a tango show which we thought might be a bit touristy but was actually a brilliant night out. It included dinner and then a tango lesson. Our teacher, Allejandro, kept telling us to do our 'tango face' which, as you can see, Tim took pretty seriously. It was such a laugh. After our lesson we went back for dessert then the tango show sarted....it was really good. There was a live band and the dancers were great. It finished at 11.15 and we wanted to carry on our night out so we went to BA's renowned hostel, the Millhouse, where a DJ was playing and we danced until two.

We haven't got long left in BA now before we make our way across Argentina and into Chile again.  Hope you are all having a great Saturday night. xx
