Day 68 – 76 – Buenos Aires

Well well well... I actually don’t know where to start. I arrived at the station on Saturday at lunch time. Dave very kindly came to pick me up and we went directly to his place. Since then, I never actually left his place until our departure to Uruguay 9 days later. There was no need to find another place to sleep because Dave and his flatmates host me throughout the entire time. Buenos Aires offers you everything: from incredible and endless nights out, to museums and interesting place to go sightseeing, shopping, a beautiful harbour, tango, music sports and many other cultural activities. I must admit I tried to take the best out of the city visiting as many museums as I could, going out and meeting new people. Dave and his flatmates were extremely kind to host me for all those days and this also allowed me to save quite a lot of money in hotels or hostels. Buenos Aires has as well a very strong Italian soul: a soul given by an incredible amount of Argentineans with Italian origin (now more than half of the entire population of the country). Despite the constant economic crises that Argentinean people are always complaining about, the situation seems pretty ok. Infrastructure, public transport and general safety seem to be present and well working throughout the city. I could see myself staying in Buenos Aires for long time. It is that kind of city that you would never feel really tired to be in because there is always something interesting or different to do. I met new people and made new friends here. I, for 1 week, went to live the life of a city boy again, experiencing a completely different type of travelling. I leave Buenos Aires now with a smile and a little bit of sadness.
It is definitely time for me to move on with my journey. Uruguay, I am coming!

TWIMO!
