Loolala arrives in Buenos Aires
Saturday, February 13th, 2010
Ok so this time my friend had booked the accommodation online. Sure what did we need only 2 beds 2 pillows a lock for our valuables and a bit of an ensuite thrown in.
And what did we get? A new word for our vocabulary
-M A T R I M O N I O.
We stated firmly that we wanted mattresses not MATRIMONIO . For once our combined charms just weren’t working-we had to steel ourselves, gesticulate wildly and eventually resort to a long silence. Finally the boss remembered , two single beds were prised apart and so began our first night’s sleep in Buenos Aires.
Travel Tip 1
In the event of some apparent language barrier do try a long silence-it
usually works. P.S. We did get the lock for our valuables but that wasn’t enough for my friend . Did you ever lock yourself out of your house and you knew exactly where the key was? Well she locked herself out of her travel bag
Travel Tip 2
Don’t do it!
Travel Tip 3
If you’re looking for a double-bed try Matrimonio –starting with the Latin countries
