Posh Ports

No modern city can hold its head up high in a world competition of cities without having a rejuvinated dock area. Buenos Aires is no different.

Last night we went to the Puerto Madero area of Buenos Aires. We came within a whisker of blowing four months insect-repellent budget on one night in an amazingly posh hotel - but decided against it in the end.

It was a pleasant enough place to stroll around. The pizza place we decided to eat in seemed to have the surliest staff in Argentina - but the food was OK.

Anyway - the signature architectural item is the bridge of the women.

Pretty enough I suppose.



Oh, and there is a building (unphotographed - as it wasn't lit up) that looks like a very small Sydney Opera House. Strange but true.
