Buenos Aires Day 2

Wow, we covered a lot of the city in two days....
First stop today (after some empinadas for breakkie) was La Boca, home of the La Boca juniors Futbohl club. Maradona´s, club. It was pretty neat to see. The blue and yellow stadium in a focal point in the neighbourhood. We opted to go inside, and see the place. YOu could easily see it being crazy on big game day.

Then we headed to Caminito street ' pretty cool colourful street, with a street market and colourful buildings. We stopped had a servaces and enjoyed the atmosphere.
Leaving here was interesting....... La Boca is a slightly more dangerous part of town. We had decided to walk along the water, but as we were heading dow a street a policeman stopped us and told us not to go that way. So after a confusing conversation in spansih with the cop, we headed for a bus (he walked us to the bus stop and made sure we got on the right bus). After a short bus ride were we back at PLaza de Mayo.

It was a busy two days with ots of walking, but I really enjoyed Buenos Aires
