Buenos Aires, party capital of Argentina

20 hours bus ride from Puerto Madryn, and we arrived in Buenos Aires, a huge, vibrant city, kind of feels like a European version of New York to me.



We spent our first night in the St. Nicholas Hostel in the city centre. Went out for huge Argentinian steaks and had a wander through the maze of streets.

On Saturday, we headed a little further out of town, to the Habitat for Humanity Argentina offices in San Isidro, where we caught up with our good friends, Fanny and Geraldine from Santiago.

Argentina is in a different time zone from Chile, but Buenos Aires seems to run in time zone of it's own too! Our first night out I guess we thought we'd take it easy, so we ate out at 1.30, and hit the clubs at 3. Or maybe it was so that we could see the city by the light of the sun the next morning, to finally crawl into our beds at 8!

And so the celebrations continued...
