Our first blog entry since arriving in Argentina ... mainly because we´ve been too busy 'stockpiling' or rather busily and meticulously testing the quality of Argentine beef. Happily we are now pretty much assured of the fact that not only is it incredibly good but also unbelievably cheap. Good food and wine comes cheap here and we are ever conscious that our stay in B.A is short-lived so we´ve certainly been making the most of it. Come Tuesday when we hit the road I suspect we´ll mainly be enjoying boiled rice followed by biscuits for pudding.
B.A. is a fantastic city with so much to do and see. We have tramped miles of pavement taking in the sights and soaking up the atmosphere. So much so that we already have 5 blisters between us and the hard part hasn´t even started.
While I imagine we´ll miss the bottles of Malbec and steak dinners once we head South, I think we´re both eager to get going and see what the rest of South America has to offer two novice cyclists. So I think a week here is probably just about right. We head for Ushuaia tomorrow and can´t wait to see what the end of the world looks like.

Hi Ben & Laura. I am genuinely incredibly excited, (and somewhat in awe), of your impending trip. As a cycling nut and someone who has never been to South America, I'm following the blog with baited breath. Best of luck to you both. I'm jealous. (make sure your camera is always at the ready!).
