We jumped on a 11 hour bus from Chile, hit up passport control and jumped into Argentina! Managed to smugle in some sarnies of salami and cheese we had made (no animall products over the border) but for me in the end it was not worth it because they tasted nasty...prob why they wouldent want them in the country!
Sooooo after arriving we had a midnight pizza and a grande beer slept in then spent today watching the police round up herds of people as it is Independance day for the ol Argentinians. We then headed up a cable car for a birds eye view of the city.
I have now spent the last 3 hours writing all this loverly stuff and uploading pics for yall to view....
Hope you enjoy...and will let you know how me and zo get on in the so far so good country of Argentina!

Hi there!
It is a really cool country to visit, and it is not actually as expensive as you think it might be. It is not as cheap as Bolivia, not as cheap as SE Asia but it is on Par with Peru and Chille and a lot cheaper than Europe, Japan or OZ.
Not sure what the current prices are with the current climate but i would suggest taking a look on the lonely planet website... their cost predictions are pretty accurate. And if you would like to get an idea of hostel costs take a look on hostelbookers.
Thanks!
Tom
