We left Buenos Aires in the autumn and 12,000k later arrived in Madrid in the spring. It took us 12 hours in the air to travel half of what took 7 months on the ground.

The steak in Argentina is as good as its renowned to be. We shared a slab with Cindy and Geert at a parilla (BBQ restaurant) in Buenos Aires.

My first impression of Bueno Aires was that it was quite similar to Madrid. But now I've had a good look at Madrid again I don't think this is true

Buenos Aires is like a much loved and well used designer shoe, all scuffed around the edges but worn with attitude.

Madrid is like a well cared for vintage shoe, stylish and immaculately kept.

Continuing on the shoe theme, here are our feet on the centre of Spain marker in the Plaza Del Sol, Madrid.
