I ate lunch in a quiet back-street cafe with ambient latin music, and then took a one-hour ferry trip across the river to the small town of Colonia in Uruguay. Being a long weekend, it was so busy that every backpackers' hostel and hotel that I tried was fully booked - until I found a room in a four-star hotel. Beggars can't be choosers, so I took it and went for a swim, a workout in their gym, and then a sauna before crashing for my first sleep in a day and a half!
The next morning after a walk around the town, I took the ferry back across to Buenos Aires and caught a local bus up to La Boca. I visited a football museum there, and then went on a guided tour of the Boca Juniors football stadium.
After that I headed out to the domestic airport to catch my flight up to the tropical north of Argentina near the border of Brazil. We landed in the middle of a savage tropical storm, which was the first rain they had experienced for months. I caught a bus to my hostel and booked myself on a tour to see the Iguazu Falls the following day.
