Monday 23rd October
Arrived in Buenos Aires at 8.30am having caught the ferry at 5.30am. Checked in to the hotel, had breakfast in a local cafe and walked a couple of blocks to the Plaza de Mayo to see the Casa de Gobierno, also called the Casa Rosada (pink house because it´s pink). It´s where Evita supposedly addressed the people from the balcony - well at least Madonna did in the film version.
Try to get my bearings and although it should be easy as the city is designed on criss-crossed streets, I have no idea in which direction I´m going. I´m usually not this clueless.
Despite being a Monday night, it turns out to be a big one and Helena (my roommate) and I are tucked up in our beds around 5am.
