Roughly translates as "What's your name llama?", and is one of the few Spanish phrases I have managed to pick up in the past twenty two years. This would not normally be a problem in the marsh lands of East Anglia, where Spanish lingo is about as necessary as altitude sickness tablets...However, I could probably do with stockpiling large quantities of both of these as I venture into deepest darkest Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru early on Monday morning.

Day 0 Buenos Aires
Day 0
I arrived at the airport on Monday evening, after a sixteen hour slog to Buenos Aires via Amsterdam. The taxi driver, who drove me to the hostel had definitely been to the beagle school of driving. I had an unnerving sense of deja vu as we speeded into the Palermo area of Buenos Aires, straddling two lanes, with no use of indicators, and Brandon Flowers blaring from the car radio. I was greeted by the owners of the hostel: the three Juans and Lucas. They cooked me supper, it soon became apparent that Juan number one was a professional chef, with a particular passion for Jamie Oliver ( apparently he has made it to Argentina.)
