This is all thanks to the incompentencies of that fab South American Airline - Aerolineas Argentinas. Basically we arrived in BA to find that our flight had been delayed for 2 days! This is because they do not have enough planes to put on if a flight gets cancelled, and it takes them a month to make it up!! (awww bless!).
So, as it has turned out, we have ended up having a (near) all expenses paid weekend break in BA, staying at a 4 star hotel in the city centre, with all meals included!!
Basically this blog is to say a big EAT OUR WORDS to our first blog on poor BA, cause actually this city is kinda pretty cool - well thats if you stay and go to the right kind of places - like we did this time (after being advised by fellow travellers over the past 6 weeks). I have to say one of its biggest attractions is shopping! and so cheap! So after 6 weeks of sight seeing, we decided to give ourselves a well earned break and just do a little shopping for the last 2 days - i mean how can one say no to 5 pound bikinis - it would be criminal!!
Also, after bagging the food in BA, i also have to say that we found restaurant, cafe and bar heaven, and have managed to have two very nice lunches out. Anyone coming to BA, stick to Ricoletta and Palermo (Soho) and youŽll be stoked, like we were!
Ok, thats it from us from South America, in 2 hours we are off to go catch our flight to Auckland (fingers double crossed they let us have a seat!!).
Love,
Fee and Guy
