So we´ve done Montevideo and leave the country by ferry at 13:01 today. First impressions - it´s definitely a poorer city that Buenos Aires is. I knew that but you can really see and feel it. Somehow yesterday when we were walking round and getting to know it, there were no cars on the streets anywhere. I was like a ghost town. Not quite sure why, but it gave a funny feeling especially when walking around the old colonial style buildings in the old town- many of which are derelict or rundown.
Due a problem with bookings, we ended up sleeping in a dorm of 8 last night. 6 other smelly and farty men. :) No it wasnt that bad! I slept through like a log and so did Annie. And we were allocated top bunks! Flash back to my childhood! It´s not as comfortable doing things that way but meant that we only paid 8 pounds for the night.
Now we are ready to head back to Buenos Aires. We have a Boca Juniors football match to go to later, which is going to be amazing. Things really heat up in matches over here and I can´t wait to feel the cauldron of emotion, frustration and passion erupt. Then, off to Iguassu Falls tomorrow. Cool.
