Hey as some off yours, mite no I have just been to Argentina with high school boy's rugby club so here a bit run down
we arrive at chch airport at 8 am cheek in and so forth and jump on our connect flight to Auckland where we were meant to have an 3 hour stop over be we soon learn that
Argentina air lines aren't the best people to deal with so as it turned out we spent and extra 3 hours in Auckland airport as the plain pulls up you see all the boys looking at each other and thinking oooo F%^k the old girl need a paint ill tell yar that. The inside was not much better, after 11 hours on a cramped plane with no TV for some of us we final arrived in arge. Getting through customs was a piece of piss u just showed them your passport and that was it no m.a.f to deal with we did not even get our bags cheeked. As we steeped out the airport, the heat hit you straight away. driving from the airport to our hotel in B.A it was a real eye opener you drive passed really poor place witch look like a war zone, then into the city centre were its just full on motor bikes nipping past you cars all over the show. You could put hand out the window and touch the truck next to you, they do not tend to stick to there lanes very well.
our hotel just happened to be rite in the hart of it all, upon arriving we set out to cheek out the city centre out, holey shit is the first thing that comes into your mind there are so many people pushing passed each other, homeless people savaging in the bin for rubbish to recycle and the most pain in the ass people ever trying to give you leaflets to make you go into there shops. Errrrrrrrrrrr o and I cannot for get the people trying to sell you cocaine lol. As it being our first night in arge we went out for a few, the nightlife does not start till around 2/3 am and goes through until 9/10 so threes time for a wee kip before heading out. With a 9 hour, bus ride down to Bahia Blanca you made a night off it as you could sleep the whole way down and luckily enough the bus just happened to be kited out with lazy boy like seats.
we met our host bros, as they like to call them and started to settle in to that Argentinean way of life witch is kind of hard ill tell you that. so the week that that was to follower kind of went like this, Saturday played to games of rugby, Sunday play 2 games and then hit the piss, you can by a 900ml bottle for $4 no bucks so $20 nz bucks is not a bad nyt out on the town and thats the taxi home as well. the next 2 days are rest days before plying our next game on the wed then the flowing games on fri and sat then a big night out on sat and a bus ride back to B.A at 7am so you just pack your bags the night before hand and tell your host bro to meet you at the bus with your bags. We then travelled to b.a where we spent three big nights before flying home. Enjoy some pics
