Well now,”that” was a fantastic day!
We started this morning by walking from the cruise terminal to the area
where we spent yesterday.
The distance was about 3 kilometres and after going through a sketchy i
ndustrial area we came out
at Plaza San Martin which is a beautiful park containing this country’s
memorial for the Falklands
(Malvinas) war. There is a massive rubber tree who’s limbs are so big
they are supported by
metal “U” brackets.

We had tickets for an english speaking tour at the Theatre Colon.
This opera house is ranked as the third best in the world and the
guide was really
good so we came away very impressed indeed.

After the tour ended we were walking the area of the city
called “Microcenter”
(where we have spent the last few days)and popped
nto a restaurant for a traditional
Argentinian meal of empanadas. Of course I made sure
there was wi-fi so I could text message
with the kids and get updated photos of Hannah! Mission
accomplished!! While walking Caro
had a misfortune and tripped and fell, however nothing
broken, just painful wrists and knees.
Thank goodness it wasn’t worse!

We next walked down to the area of the Presidential
Palace. It is a pinkish colour and is
located in an area of old buildings and beautiful parks.
Oh my!

Oh my!
We do love walking the streets here.
We caught a taxi back to the cruise port terminal
nd after being back on board we had some
quiet time before the safety class everyone has
to go through was completed.

We had just started our supper (and were speaking to the
couple in the next table-they
were from Utah) when Caro noticed that the ship was moving.
SHOOT! We wanted to watch
the cityscape as we sailed away so we wolfed down our meal .
Once outside on the promenade deck
we enjoyed watching Buenos Aries slowly disappear. I got a
great black and white photo.

We decided to watch a movie on the big screen outside in
midship at night under the stars.
The movie was Jurassic World; it was a very warm night-NO BUGS-
and a thoroughly wonderful
way to finish off our hectic day.
