San Telmo Market

On Sunday's the whole of San Telmo shuts down and its cobbled streets gets covered with market stalls, its lush! So we spent the day shopping and drinking matte and then watched the tango dancers and live jazz bands at sunset...perfect sunday afternoon
matte at the ready...now the shopping can begin





Alana trying to dance tango

Puerto Madero

Amazing band, everyone just started dancing around them in the streets, love this part of the city

A trip to Lujan Zoo

So the 4 of us decided to head to the Zoo for the day, photos with the big cats are scary at first but then super fun!!!
Theyre in there roaming around with dogs and puppies and thats how theyve been raised up with humans so their not to bothered by you...although when they roar that is quite scary!!!

Still made me sneeze all day though..stupid cats GRRRRR



He is actually awake and stood up on all 4's straight after this photo was taken, bad timing!

View from the Sugar Loaf Mountain at sunset


At the top of the favella, our friend lives here, its one of the biggest favellas in south america, the only way to get up all the windy street built into the hillside is on a motorbike taxi, first time on a motorbike...AMAZING
Because we were with our friend it was fine and their cleaning Rio up because of the world cup in a few years so she said they are getting rid of all the criminals and drug dealers from the favella's so they are safer now but still some of the states of the some of the places

Christ the Redeemer Statute, took 5 years to put together

Sunning it on Copacabana beach


One cable car short of the Sugar Loaf Mountain




Spent the last 4 days of the holiday in Rio, the guys went back to BA so it was a lil girly holiday for us, absolutely loved it, one of my favourite places ive ever been
Load of rubbish that is dangerous, felt so safe there, maybe because we looked kind of local, because everyone in Argentina thinks we are Brazillian,


Florianopolis

We stayed in Floripa for 4days, its an Island in Brazil and kind of untouched by tourists so its beautiful,we stayed in this cute little brazilian village, with no cash machines and no english speakers...was so much fun, although not speaking portuguese was a bit tricky

First night we got there,
 grabbed some food and drinks from the supermarket and headed straight to the beach for sunset, best picnic ever



Florianopolis beach


apparently the sand drawings are ment to be us...still havent decided who's ment to be who

our apartment


Succos.... basically fruit smoothies but they are amazing...mint and pineapple...WOW


Getting Capahrina's on the beach..best brazilian drink ever

Uruguay

So its holiday time, just spent the last 10 days in Uruguay, Florianopolis in Brazil and Rio!
First things first...Uruguay

The travelling spongebob t shirt

Team pose

Best way to see the city...we hired bikes and rode all along the coast


Like the Argentines they love their 'Asado's'...lots and lots of meat


Padlocks all on the fountain with lovers initials on them


Painters in the older part of the city
We stayed in Montevideo, its like a cleaner Argentina, such a pretty city though and right on the coast...Next stop...FLORIPA BABY :)
