13/02/2011 - Argentina, Buenos Aires

Very early arrival on the night bus, on time though, miracles do happen!  A few hours wait for our room to be ready, a shower, some lunch and market visiting with Al and Libby and then off to Boca Juniors.  Boca were flogged 4-1, so we only got a glimpse of the full mad atmosphere (when they scored), but it was amazing.  Even to the point that we were held back for 1/2 hour after the game before we could leave.  The reason being we were sitting/standing with the ultras.  You pay for a tour to the match which is about 8x more than going on your own, with most of the extra money being for protection by the ultras.  Totally wicked day out.

The photo is of the match, towards the end after most people had left.
