Day 23 - La Boca

Spent the day walking around the famous Boca district of the City. This is where the original port of Buenos Aires was based & locals would build their houses from bits of old shipwreckes. In an effort of make the area more presentable the government would paint the houses bright colours & the area became famous for this reason. Some of the old style houses are still on show today.


The Boca neighbourhood is also home to the famous Boca Juniors Football Club, this was Maradona´s stomping ground for his first & last two professional seasons & he still has his own private box here today. We got a quick tour to have a look at the famous ground, love to see a game here!



More steaks tonight back at Desnival, we´re gonna be on a first name basis here by the end of the week!!

Who´s your Daddy!
