free internet at the hostel = no

the reality of our addiction to the internet is apparent when we get grumpy and start sniping at each other, just because it´s been too long between hits. The hostel boasted ´free internet´, which actually meant 2 internet stations, one of which was bung (and the other of which is also occasionally bung) which means that there´s always a young and bouncy backpacker sitting there.

Since when did I get so old that young and bouncy backpackers irritate me just by their enthusiasm for beer and extreme sport? Maybe it´s their hair fudge and cut off tees that just rub me up the wrong way. Grump grump.

Anyway, it´s nice to get our hit here in an extremely cheap internet cafe... noone speaks english, but it´s cool, they seem friendly enough. Swelteringly hot outside, but looking forward to the antique market today - Stephen is off with Jason to the Science Museum (ha ha nerds!).

Have visited:
The Evita Museum
Evita´s tomb in the Recoleta Cemetery
The huuuge Recoleta market
The Obelisco
The city cathedral

Market shopping really is done best by oneself. Signing off!

Breakfast:
cornflakes. Provided free by the hostel ( the bakery around the corner was closed but if it had been open I would have got a sweet croissant)
