After a week of 30 something degree days and blazing sun, the day of our last photo safari began with a night of torrential rain.

We went to Roy's birthday do on Saturday night, chilled out chatting and a good opportunity to say chau to a few friends (until February at least) but the storm which had been threatening, broke around midnight and we ended up getting a taxi after waitning for half an hour for a bus. It was a good job as two of the roads the bus would have gone down were flooded (more than a couple of feet too, one of the roads was blocked by a fallen tree)... the taxi driver had to reverse back up a one way street to avoid it.

It kept raining until Sunday morning so we weren't sure whether we would even go but eventually it cleared a little, not enough for any sun or anything, very british lighting. There were only five of us this time but it was another enjoyable outing, strangely subdued, walking around the slightly muddy and puddled paths of the Rose Garden. The Patio Andaluz in the photo is not meant to be a sunken lake. We finished with a coffee on (the excellently named road) Avenida Scalabrini Ortiz and went our separate ways.

Hopefully when we get back to BA in February we'll be able to tag along on another.
