Bye Bye BA

So its finally time that we have had to say goodbye to South America and most sadly goodbye to Buenos Aires, our favourite place to date.

Following the carnival we had our last few days back to normality for us (attempting to speak Spanish, getting drunk and going out until 7am, eating copious amounts of Italian food) in Buenos Aires.

Going back there felt like going home as we were warmly greeted at Milhouse - our hostel that we stayed at the whole time that we were there before, and by the restaurant round the corner. Open 24/7 which means that they have seen us at every state of the day - hungover in the morning, predrinking in the evening, wrecked in the early hours. That place is largely to blame for the copius amounts of Italian food consumed while in BA - that is actually more cultural than it sounds as theres a pretty strong Italian influence in the country - hence the good looking men and the big hand gestures!

Han and I basically spent the last few days there revisiting our favourite things and discussing our action plan to move out there... either by working at the hostel, which means free board and food or somehow stumbling across a large amount of money so we can get ourselves a sexy apartment quickish! All this was discusssed over our final Freddo ice cream by the harbour which was obviously suitably amazing and proves that we have become naturals at our ice cream chosing as we managed to do it all by ourselves without the assistance of Lucas and Guido for the first time!

We also had our last dinner (more Italian) with our fave peeps and said some very sorry goodbyes before jetting off to Australia. Which of course involved eating even more ice cream - how can we see those boys without ice cream being involved? We sampled the last of the four top places to go, but I can safely say Volta still comes out as number one. We also went to an English pub with them which was quite weird - prepping them up for the trip London side in the near future (we hope!)

Anyway tshirts all signed and ready to go, it was time to hit the plane. It felt very very odd to speak English again as we touched down in our next continent. Its taking some getting use to, Han and I have resorted to speaking to each other in garbled Spanish - keeping south America alive just a little bit!

But wrekky of South America done and next trip planned there for September!
