WHERE WE STAYED
We stayed in the Emperador Hotel on Ave Libertador which was within walking distance of quite a few sights of BuenosAires such as May Square, the Harbour area and the pedestrian shopping streets such as Florida St.
PLAZA DE MAYO
On our first day we had an official city tour which began in May Square ( Plaza de Mayo) which was named to commemorate Argentina's independence from Spain which began in May 1810 .We took the obligatory photo of the famous (Casa Rosada) Presidential Palace from where Evita stood on the balcony to talk to the people. We saw the white scarves painted around The Piramide de Mayo which is an obelisk in the middle of the square, this is where the wives and mothers of 'the disappeared' march every Thursday in memory of their relatives who disappeared up until 1983 and still haven't been found ...

Advantages: The best meat in the world! Disadvantages: You may need a laxative after all that red meat!
not try "achuras" a wide range of different meat and other cow stuff, only for braves! Why? They include more than we want to know! (kidneys, sweetbread, intestines, brains...) prices round 10 pounds per person. Don?t forget to book your table so you can enjoy a beautiful view to the docks. If you're planning something romantic, go at night!
If you are hungry in the city centre make your way up to Corrientes Avenue to eat in el Palacio de la Papa Frita (the kingdom of the french fried) and try a juice steak. If you are really hungry, try the "bife a caballo" a steak with fried eggs on top, also with french fries! Here the prices are lower.
Try the meat and you'll see why it's that famous!
Night clubs in BuenosAires.
BuenosAires is proud of their nightlife.(and their well dress ladies too!)
You can find in the capital ...

The Kempinski Hotel is ideally located in the centre of BuenosAires. You are within walking distance of numerous cafes, restaurants, shops, the metro, bus stops and many of the main attractions.
It is a small boutique hotel with friendly, competent staff who are happy to help you out.
We stayed in the hotel for 6 nights and were very happy with the place.
The hotel, is like many others in BA tall and narrow - the lifts barely fit two people, so let the porter take your suitcases up to your room - it is far easier than getting stuck doing it yourself.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable - you get a sofa and an en-suite as well as a huge double bed. The room is air conditioned - a must in summer as it is so hot outside.
There is cable TV with lots of random English speaking channels - so you can watch movies in English ...
