Buenos Aires

My arrival point in Argentina was Buenos Aires, which is a huge city (nearly 10 million people) on the East Coast of Argentina.

Buenos Aires can look quite pretty from the right angle and at the right time. I have a suspicion that the cool lighting effects are at least partly due to the smog, though.

More often, though, the streets look a bit more like this. There´s a person sleeping in that lot somewhere, too. It´s a huge, bustling, noisy and poluted city, with slightly depressing suburbs that stretch on for over an hour and a half when you leave the city by bus. The city does have it´s upside though...


¿Tienes carne? ¿Quizás una cerveza pequeña? (Tina from Germany is pictured).


Pomelos from a market in Tigre, near Buenos Aires... I just liked the photo.

Of course, as well as eating and drinking, I also saw a couple of tango shows, went to visit Evita´s grave in Recoleta cemetary, and had a good explore of the city. A lot of my visit to Buenos Aires just seemed to pass by in some kind of pleasant blur, though, which I gather is a common experience in this city.

After leaving Buenos Aires, I headed west to Mendoza.
