Goodbye Argentina, I love you

So, muy bien people, this is going really well!

Uruguay was amazing. We had 3 hours sailing to Montevideo, so we arrived in the night, went for something to eat, got our room and just chilled around! We had the seriously worst sleep ever, because our room was just out to a street with several pubs, so there was really loud drunk-singing and drinking sounds until 7 in the morning where we had to wake up.
So we spend saturday on walking around Montevideo and seeing the small streets, the brokedown houses, parks, people, everything. In the afternoon we went to the beach which was the best thing EVER and really really really just what we needed. So we were there for some hours, just relaxing in the sun and swimming in the sea and all good. Next day we took the bus to Colonia and had 1 hours with boat back home. A great great trip!

So I forgot to tell you about la Bomba, so here it comes: La bomba del tiempo is this great(!!!) drum show every monday night somewhere in Buenos Aires. (A place called Konex or something!) It start really early, at 8 or something and then it's just drums and dancing and the greatest empanadas in all of Buenos until 10! We have been there 3 times and it was great everytime. The first time we were dancing in the street to reggae music afterwards and everytime we went to this illegal after-place and had a lot of fun. It was also here I meet my new good friend Chiky, so nice! So La Bomba is definitely recommendable (if that is a word!) and I LOVE it.

So yesterday we walked around. We walked all of the florida-shopping street, which is kind of crazy, because yesterday Buenos Aires was the hottest city of all South America, and yes - we felt it! Soooo hot! In the night we went to La Cabrera, this really famous and good steakhouse, with like the BIGGEST steaks I have ever seen in my life. Some experience for a vegetarian like me, seeing people eat a steak of 900 g (OMG!)
Later we went to a hostel and hung out with our brazilian friends, really nice to see the happiest and nicest man in the world again.

So today is the last day of Argentina and it feels really weird. Only a month has passed and I already have so many great things to look back on. Like the really rude waiter in Pinamar, singing christmas song in the car home, falling in the water in Tigre, dancing all night, making friends with a lot of people, drinking mate and tequila and 1L beers.
It am still surprised by all the homeless people sleeping on every street corner, children and families asking for money, or all the 'homeless' cats and dogs wandering around. It kills me everytime I see it.
But then again - Argentina is truly amazing and I will miss all the nice things here alot.

Now it's Cuba and me and Amalie on our own, and I can't wait for all the new adventures. We are leaving tomorrow morning at 7 with the first plane, and we are going to Peru, Costa Rica and then finally we'll be in Cuba at 23.00!

Love to you all and a promise to try to write often. (And to post pictures soon, maybe!)
