First stop - Buenos Aires

First leg done - Sydney to Buenos Aires. A long flight onan old Airbus 737-300 ... it is ages since I have flown on an aircraft that did not have individual screens and mulit-channel entertainment. Hoorah for my new iPod - that and ¨Mad, Bad and Dangerous to know¨ Ranulph Fiennes autobiograhy (a must read for adventurers) and some sleep and the journey seemed to go quickly enough. We had a short stop in Auckland.

As I have not been here long I cannot comment much on BsAs yet, but the Paris to Dakar Rally has been relocated to South America and has started - BsAs to Santiago. Avenido de Mayo is closed and lined with noisy Argentians having a lot of fun. It is noisy and lively as you would expect from Latinos !

So after a long day - Argentina is 14 hours behind Sydney to today has been 30 hours long - I think I might away to bed for freshness tomorrow.
