One of the most famous steakhouses in Buenos Aires
Even at 10.30pm we had to wait 30 minutes for a table, but the complimentary champagne and chourizo eased the pain 
The girls warming up with some red wine before the meal
The chourizo was so good we ordered it for our shared starter. Yep, no small portions in this place! 
Hope you're hungry, that's one massive steak! Gotta love Argentina, they take their meat seriously!
Great food and happy faces all round 
Now that's a lot of food!
And after all that check out the size of the leftovers!! Steak baguettes tomorrow
Complimentary champagne after our meal
Nothing like a sucker after a huge meal....
A quick nightcap in one of the bars in the thriving area of Palermo

Look who got lumbered with washing dishes on this fine morning!
Walking through the park on our way to the cemetery
The beautiful church connected to the cemetery
Stunning cross outside the church
The gates to Recoleta Cemetery
About to head in, with no idea what to expect
Time to explore the cemetery
Leise doing his best impersonation
The tombs are huge and impressive
Evita - according to one of the guides the Argintineans do not like her
Eva Perona's gravestone
The girls standing next to Evita's grave
The cobblestone pathways are all beautiful and lined with trees
Statues throughout the grounds
Another stunning tomb/grave
Posing in front of one of the famous graves
Another example of a magnificent tomb
A mime artist scares V on one of the main shopping streets
Georgie decides on the tea option!
