Carnage on the first day!

We arrived in Beunos Aires at 10.00am yesterday after a 17hr trip! The hostel we had booked had arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport, and true to their word a chap was waiting - not best happy! After his quick rant in Spanish about our late arrival (we think!) it dawned on us that we really should have learnt some of the language!! Perfect start.
So we arrived at the hostel ready for a nice hot shower. I(Rob) thought I would book somewhere nice for the first few nights of our journey!! Ah well I did try (thankgod we can giggle through most situations)! Its very basic, and has walls as thin as paper but on the plus the people here are very friendly and helpfull. We thought we would repay their kindness by flooding our room and their entire hostel while we enjoyed the long awaited hot shower. Little tip! - don´t put the slip mat over the drain and then complain that the drain is blocked. Once again, a perfect start!
That afternoon we spent wandering the streets of BA, dodging the dog poop, and soaking up the ....... rain!
