Back in Buenos Aires


We're back in BsAs. We basically spent all of today travelling, the flight was delayes and although we left the hostel at around 11.30 we only got back to Buenos Aires around 19.00. One hour time change included.

The last day in Santiago was kind of chilled out. Stephen, Vlad, Chris and I went to the pool at the top of the mountain and swam and relaxed. Then we went and had a bite to eat. There was a party in the house we were staying and we were invited so we spent the evening there. I didn't stay too long and had a wonderful long night's sleep.

It feels good to be back in Buenos Aires, although Santiago was very cool too.

The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US
