Can't believe we only have one more day left until our long journey home to spend 10 days in England. We've had such a amazing time, Buenos Aires is so beautiful. Football - It's like London everywhere you go there's a football stadium (although there fans are worse than us). We got to see River Plate & Boca Juniors grounds, and also the Argentina V Brazil game ⚽🇦🇷🇧🇷. Although we went into the wrong end of the game first with the Brazil fans but we soon got saved and taken to the right bit.
Buenos Aires Zoo - The Zoo here is amazing!!! Dead cheap and you get animal food to feet every single animal even the lions, there's even animals that are not in cages and just run round your feet so cute!! plus we got a selfie with a elephant it's totally smiling I'm telling ha.
Buenos Aires City - So much to see and so many monuments. There's even a smaller version of Big Ben that we have to Argentina as a gift. Although if anyone asks were American they really don't like the English. We did a tour around the city which was really good to get a insight into everything then we've done so much walking to it all since. They also have the beautiful Floralis Generics which is a huge flower ornament when it turns dark it closes and lights up and in the day the flower opens up. Also the tribute at French Embassy shows how amazing these people are.
La Boca - the area by Boca Juniors is called La Boca. All the houses are painted in loads of bright different colours and there is always dancers and people dressed up every day in the streets. Palermo - We stayed in Palermo which is the bar/pub/night out area. Lovely little area but when it rains it floods everywhere even the train tracks. Colonia (Uruguay) - we did a day trip on a boat to visit Uruguay the little town of Colonia. Here all the roads are old and Spanish & every car is a old fashion car (Ray was in his element looking at them all). There's so many old war stuff here too when the Portuguese and Spanish used to fight over who owned it but the Spanish one. Oh and in there whole of Uruguay there are only 2 sets of traffic lights. They just take turns wtf!! Imagine that at home.
It's our last day here tomorrow before the long 2 flights & long 24 hour journey home tomorrow night, for a nice 10 day break at home before we go to Lapland & Munich. South America has been beautiful, we will defo be back soon especially to do Machu Picchu one day, Travel Update done, Bye see you all soon xx
