I'll Get The Champagne...: IGTC Endorses... El Refuerzo Bar Almacen!
http://illgetthechampagne.blogspot.com/2013/07/igtc-endorses-el-refuerzo-bar-almacen.html
I'll Get The Champagne. IGTC Endorses. El Refuerzo Bar Almacen! Ok, this place just calls you. Especially if you speak vermouth, like I do. Wandering around San Telmo, if you turn up Chacabuco to see the Catalan Casal (as one does, naturally), you will find yourself being drawn to this perfect little place. When you open the door, the blinking green X-mas lights behind the bar flash "Sit down. Drink vermouth" in Morse code. Ya está. Have: the Gancia vermouth on the rocks. Posted by Bob Davidson.

I'll Get The Champagne. Back in the Catalan capital after a couple of nice days in Amsterdam that were only marred by the fact that after 3 months of illness-free travelling through Africa and India, I got sick on the day we left Delhi. Damn you Delhi Belly! More on the last stages of the trip (Udaipur, Bundi) soon! Posted by Bob Davidson. Some Varanasi, Some Delhi. So we had very comfy digs, which was good because instead of taking 12 hours, the journey stretched out to 21. oof! Delhi, though, is great!

I'll Get The Champagne. Elephant Gate, Bundi Palace. Ok, so we got to see a lot of India in 5 weeks. But the friendliest, happiest place we visited has to have been the small Rajasthan town of Bundi. This place is pure gold. No touts, helpful locals who really just want to hang out and shoot the shit, a beautiful castle complex that makes you feel like you're in an Indiana Jones movie (you even have to carry a monkey stick to keep the critters at bay! Plus, I got to see more cows eating garbage! We spent...
