Hostel Inn, San Telmo, Buenos Aires

Arrived in Buenos Aires two days ago, after sunset. Landing at the Jorge Newbery airport in the middle of the city was impressive with the city lights extending to as far as eyes could see. Took the bus 45 (1.25 ARS pp.) and checked into a random hostel (Telmotango) in San Telmo.

Yesterday moved into Hostel Inn (a HI hostel) a few blocks from Telmotango. It was raining till the evening, so got soaked wet while exploring the antiquity market around Plaza Dorrego and the pedestrian-only streets between Plaza de Mayo and the Obelisco. In fact, it was raining so heavily that the "superclassico" football match Boca Juniors vs. River Plate was called off after 10 minutes of play.

Then met Tobias and sampled various Argentinian meats and beers till 2 o'clock in the morning.

Plans for today:

• Visit the corrugated iron sheet (Wellblech, laineplekk?) houses in La Boca
• Visit places related to J. L. Borges
• Visit the Recoleta cemetery
• Call British Airways to shift our flight out of South America by one week or so
• Visit a tango show
• Buy a bus ticket to Iguaçu Falls
