Buenos Aires, (2) Argentina

Arrived back in Buenos Aires, party party party and got some well needed shopping in.
Stroling around Buenos Aires park
Julietta showed me around the real Buenos Aires, and it was class to have a cool local girl to show me around. After plenty of walking we chilled and tasted some excellent coffee in the famous Tortoni cafe.
The bidge in the background represents the straight leg of a female tango dancer. Lev and Joan who i both met in Bariloche partied it up in Kika nightclub. Gary a good lad from Offaly was well up for the craic, thats him belowed with the tongue out.
Clcik video below to hear some god regathon.
Random tree in a porch window.
After walking the Palermo parks i was suprised to see the end of the evenings horse racing, which is in a dead central location of Buenos Aires.
Tango backpackers crew free from work and ready to party.
Julieta brought me to a really cool metropolitan bar in BA which is behind a magic door so to speak, It was pretty cool as there its not known to general public and hidden behind this big black door with no advertisements or signs. http://www.puertauno.com
I got the train out to Tigre for a walk by the canal, it was pretty cold so it was short lived.
When i got back i found three fellow Irish sharing the dorm room. The craic was 90 from there on ,)
Good man Ste and Alex
Sunset was probably the best nightclub ive ever been to, its a latino club in buenos aires provincia, so yes its a treck outside the capital but there´s regathon all night so its definitely worth it. After my longest night i met few yound lads outside the club at 8am and i caught the end of their rap on vid below.
Palermo Park For my second last day headed back to Tigre for an awesome fun day.
Have absolutly loved Buenos Aires, actually sad to be leaving and have met some great people here. If you havent been here put it into your diary as its a must do, il be back :)

  1. Looks like party central. Will replicate it when in Thailand next week. You also look very loved up LOL. Been to Puerta Uno myself so musn't be that special if I got in there!!! I told you that BA is a magic place and full of life - summer is sooo much better than the cold of winter. Uruguay is a quick boat ride so hope you get that it before you head off.
