Having left the south earlier then expected as there wasn´t much in Puerto San Julian, we arrived in Buenos Aires (BsAs) about a week early. As we stepped off the bus, we were hit with an enormous wave of hot, humid air and a smile certainly came to my face! Warmth at last!
We found our hostel in the centre and chilled out for the rest of the day. We spent the next few days buying summer clothes and trying desperately to work out what to do for New Years Eve to ensure it wasn´t the wash out Christmas was.
Our hostel was V&S Hostel Club. It´s a lovely hostel in a town house in central BsAs, located close to the main shopping strip and with good access to all the touristy stuff. The rooms are clean and airy, the bathrooms nice and the place generally ok. However, the price is different to the website, you have to pay additionally for the air conditioning and the staff are a bit disorganised (although I hear, they´re the most organised in BsAs). The most frustrating thing was that you couldn't bring in your own drinks, so you had to buy their beer (only one option). This makes it quite hard to socialise in the hostel and meet new people. We still met some cool characters though.
