With all well recovered from the dogfight with Cardinal Newman, we caught a mid-morning bus out to the Tigre Delta for a voyage up the river. The meandering brown waterway enclosed by tropical foliage gave the impression of a scene from Apocalypse Now - a vision dispelled only by the colourful summer houses on either side (inhabited by BA's rich & famous)and the absence of the Viet Cong.

We arrived safely back on dry land, with all piranha swarms / cannibal tribes safely negotiated. A quick shuttle back to the Zentra Zone followed, then a free afternoon. As this was our last full day in Buenos Aires, we all took the opportunity to explore parts of the city not covered by the bus tour. Highlights included a riotous demonstration by psychotic members of the Peronista movement, and the discovery of the Mecca of all shopping centres in Abasto.

The evening drew in - one of the coldest recorded in recent Argentinian history - and the succulent offerings of the steak house inched ever closer. On arrival at Spettus Restaurant, we were not disappointed. Bucketfuls of tender rump, juicy sirloin and mouth-melting rib-eye were piled head-high on every table, fulfilling our wildest dreams of Argentine cuisine. After the meat deluge, we headed next door to one of an international chain of respectable bars - whose name escapes me - for a few cervezas. The trip home was marked only by the extensive use of Apple's "Pub Quiz" app, with the toppling of the colossus of Mr Lambert and Mr McLennan - collectively known as "Lambshanks & MC" - by the "Quizzee Rascals" - Messrs Tozer and Russell.
