Buenos Aires is a huge (13 million) electrifying city graced with European architecture, atmospheric neighbourhoods and bustling nightlife. We immersed ourselves in the mixer for 5 days (and nights), and left completely exhausted. BA is a fantastic city.
Here are some of the highlights ...

* Nighttime jazz at the intimate Notorious Club.
* Searching for Eva Peron's grave in the beautiful Cementerio de la Recoleta.
* Wandering around Palermo's parks, seeing a giant metal flower sculpture and a (pricey) stop at the MALBA cafe. Sam upset the waiter by presuming 'servicio' must have been included in the extortionate bill for a beer and a coffee.
* Feasting on multiple massive tasty lumps of red meat - Bife de Chorizo is the choice of champions!
* Looking out from 'Evita's balcony' across Plaza de Mayo, during our tour of the Casa Rosada, home to the president's offices. Unfortunately, it was a Saturday so Christina wasn't available for some Falklands banter.
* Learning about the effervescent life of Eva Peron (and her wardrobe) in the Museo Evita.
* Crossing the widest road in the world, Avenida 9 de Julio, but not managing to do it all in one go.
* Viewing the phallic 'Obelisco' from multiple angles, the tall monument that punctuates the city centre.
* Seeing several protests along Avenida de Mayo, including a very undemonstrative, yet scented, march for the legalisation of marijuana .
* Joining the masses (about 200 people!) for the official 'Buenos Aires Pub Crawl' around the bars of San Telmo, with a finish at a club in Puerto Madero playing some questionable (rubbish) dance music.
* Fiesta-ing with 70,000 River Plate fans during a thrilling 3-2 victory over Racing Club. The Racing keeper missed a penalty in the 91st minute, the win lifted River to the top of the table. Estadio Monumental, venue of the 1978 World Cup Final, where the ticker tape is still going strong!
* Braving the streets of La Boca to see the colourful, yet ghastly, Calle Caminito and Maradona's theatre, La Bombanera.
* Meeting up with Stephie, an Argentine friend from Sam's travels in Vietnam, (and a random, fiercely pro-SNP Scotsman) for a night full of cervezas, drumming and tango at the milonga.

(Struggling to catch the) onward boat to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, across the Rio de la Plata, 90 minutes.
