Day 303
SAN TELMO Buenos Aires, Argentina
Market Day!
36'C and raining!
Today is the last day in our Apartment!!!!
No more private kitchen where we can cook SOUP like we did last night for dinner!!!
No more lounge with cable tv...
No more private bathroom...
No more $120 pesos a night!
Today, we stay in our new abode! It´s 65 pesos a night (AU$25) and it´s great!!! It´s the ´dingy´one we booked last week thinking..oh well, it´s close to our apartment so we don´t have walk with our packs in the heat and it´s just a room!
But..it´s not just a room....it´s really cool. The apartment had a fan..but this room has THE FAN!
Am i just being positive and optimistic hehe..or is this really a great hotel. haha!
Nah..it´s not my imagination. I reckon it´s great. Sometimes a cheap hotel can have more character! And we think we´ll book this when we come back to Buenos Aires after we´ve been to Patagonia and Uraquay..
It has a little courtyard too....we took a couple of pics before we came to the internet place today..here´s our courtyard!
That´s the courtyard where we´ll bring our New Year in..
What are you guys doing for New Year???
After we checked into our new abode we went down to San Telmo square and trapsed through the crowded markets..it´s so hot today...but it was fun at the markets! So much singing, tango, and stalls....here´s a couple of the stalls, below.
Now..we´re escaping the heat here in the Internet Cafe...it has airconditioning!!!!
NB: I´m just reading an online Australian news article reporting on the 25 strong gang (aborigines) that killed one man and assaulted another man in Gero on Christmas Day...
It says two boys of 14 and 16 have now been charged with the father of five´s death. Another guy, 21 is awaiting trial for the assault, causing grevious bodily harm, on his (soon to be) son in law.
I still wonder if justice will be done...what about the other 23 in the gang that swooped in to intimidate this family.
What about the ´real´issue (mentioned in a previous blog) surrounding this, and other attacks on innocent people?
