Have now moved hostel to the 'Florida Suites' on Calle Florida, not far from where I was. It's a bit more expensive (50 pesos a night), but you don't get woken up by pumping music from the bar every 2 hours, and it's air conditioned (heavenly compared to an open window and a fan).
I'm here for a couple of nights then moving to Calle Piedras, towards the San Telmo area, and am going to stay with a woman called Graciela and her nephew Claudio. She doesn't speak a word of English, which is a stroke of luck, and is allegedly a good cook (she's guaranteed to be better than me - I gave myself mild food poisoning on Thursday after failing to cook sausages properly).
Finally, never eat Morcipan. It's disgusting.

Sounds brilliant, despite suspect food! Certainly beats writing a dissertation.

ReplyDeleteWhen you've got an address, let me know so that I can send you whatever kind of postcard I can find in Gelsenkirchen. Possibly it will be of the football stadium.
