Cardiff to Buenos Aires

So here it is, the first post in my South America blog, at the start of what I hope will be a six month trip around the continent. I've just arrived at my hostel in Buenos Aires after a mere 28 hour trip from the UK. I'm exhausted and in need of a shower, but I can't check into my room for another hour, so I'm taking the opportunity to start off my blog.

I'm staying for four nights at the Sandanzas Cultural Hostel, which is a friendly place in San Telmo, not far from the centre of Buenos Aires. I haven't even ventured outside yet, so I think I'll report back once I've seen a bit of the city. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the weather's great - blue skies and about 22C.

I thought I'd finish this post with a picture of me setting off from Cardiff Central station yesterday.

I'll try to recreate this photo in six months' time, in a before-and-after style, and see if anyone can tell the difference.

    @Anonymous, who I'm guessing is Rev, yes I am planning to grow a beard, and in fact I've already started it. I'll let you know how it goes, and I'll even post some pics as long as it doesn't look too stupid.

    @Nicola, thanks very much, I'll do my best.

    @Anonymous at 13:11, who I'm guessing this time is Babis, I've told you a million times that I DON'T LIKE CRANBERRIES!

    @Anonymous at 15:12, who I reckon might be Andy(?), thanks, I'll try not to disappoint.

    By the way, obviously I'm enjoying guessing who all the anonymous comments are from, but I'll just point out that you can say who you are by choosing the 'Comment as Name/URL' option and then typing in the Name box.
