This Blog will follow my adventures - well holidays really. Hopefully you will want to tell me what you enjoyed in the countries I have visited and maybe recommend places to go.

Another Visit to Nino Bien

Nino Bien was the culmination of Regina's 16 hour non-stop day of retail therapy, dancing at Ideal, a marvellous steak dinner and more dancing at this famous venue.
Marlon Brando lives and dances tango at Nino Bien! As broad as a door, grey hair pulled back and tied into a pigtail, a serious face that has not smiled this century. However crowded the dance floor, you would not bump into this man - a nod to his hit man and that would be the end of your dancing (or more) for the evening! I was within 18" of his massive frame and the possibility of death and not returning to the UK or Nino Bien!
There were two tables facing each other across the floor - rival mafia gangs? Suited, serious men who I cannot describe as I did not dare look long enough. Just a quick glance was followed by some quick steps to move past before any chance of eye contact.
Certainly this was the best dressed milonga but so crowded the dancing was a shuffle and a turn when possible. No chance for those long leg extensions that Carlos wants for us.
We recognise people from other milongas we have attended and nods are exchanged - we need another couple of months to enhance the integration process. Will there even be another visit soon.

Just love reading your blog, long to hear more of your adventures when you return, love Lisa x
PS Regina you have a lovely turn of phrase, loved hearing about Carlos and I'm glad you are getting plenty of retail therapy... I can sense I will be in for some serious shoe envy when you are back in Nottingham x
