Hola! Well here we are again. At present still in Buenos Aires. Spanish lessons have gone well and although still nearly always want to burst into tears when I can't make myself understood or the person breaks into English as soon as they hear my stammering spanish, I'm understanding a lot more and at least making my way around a lot better now. 
Gareth has the stomach lurgy so the 20hr train journey set for tonight has been postponed, didn't seem a good idea for Gareth or the other passengers. We're moving hostel for a few nights as it is full here (good hostel with good reviews so fills up quickly). Our bikes are assembled and ready to go. Our bags were packed until I decided I wanted the clothes washing soap and couldn't remember which pannier bag I'd put it in. Still can't find it despite unpacking all 4 of my bags twice... so who knows (maybe Gareth has got it, although he strongly denies it!). Will probaby become obvious once I see soap suds leaving my bag after it rains sometime!!!
Although I'm very keen to leave this huge noisy, polluted city it is growing on me. I've had some lovely morning runs in the parque de ecologica which is a lovely place to feel away from the city. Yesterday I walked to Cementerio de la Recoleta, a bizarre, facinating place.  A huge cemetary with grand family toombs arranged in street like formation. Loads of tourists. Very fascinating.
