Flights: Buenos Aires to Santiago (AEP to SCL LA351)
I was ready for the off by the time I got to Aeroparque airport in Buenos Aires. When I'm getting close to travelling, sometimes I'm like "okay, let's get out of here and get on with it" - like I'm anxious to see the new place.

Restaurants: Quotidiano, Recoleta, Buenos Aires
Am I still writing blog posts about Argentina? I sure am! Last couple to tidy things up and make the trip complete.

I struggled to find decent food (that I liked) in Buenos Aires. Until, that is, I stumbled across La Pecora Nera. It looked like it might be outside of my modest food budget, given that I'll be travelling for more than 5 months. But as it was around Easter time, and I hadn't had a … Continue reading Restaurants: La Pecora Nera, Recoleta, Buenos Aires – Loved It!
Restaurants: Burger 54, Santa Fe, Buenos Aires – don’t waste your pesos
Fancy burger places abound in Ireland, the UK and North America. Usually, the premium is in the beef, it's nicely prepared, of good quality, the bun is brioche or sourdough and the salad is delicious. The pricing has reached Buenos Aires, but the quality aspect didn't hit Burger 54.
