Primo Palermo

By far our favourite suburb in BA. On Sunday the markets in the main square were in full gear with stalls selling everything from woven shawls to jewellery to designer dog jackets. There's a cafe, restaurant, bar or boutique shop on every corner. A great suburb to stroll and people watch.

The suburb also has lots of parks - here we are at the botanical gardens.

There's also a Japanese garden and countless other parks. In Buenos Aires it's not unusual to see dog walkers with more than 10 animals on leashes. But the downside is there's dog poo everywhere so you have to watch where you step, even on footpaths.

Tomorrow afternoon we will hop on a bus down south to Bariloche. It's a 20-hour trip but there's food and drinks on board plus videos, a toilet and the all-important reclining seats!

Will post again when we get there.
