Buenos Aires
10/6 Tue - 15/6 Sun
We started this trip on Galapagos Islands where it was warm and nice - summer. We are now however in Buenos Aires where the red leaves are falling of the trees - autumn, fall end of the warmth. During the beginning of the trip three months sounded like an eternity but time has passed so fast. Have we been away for two mounts already, I woudn´t have believed it If it wouldn´t been for the trees. Buenos Aires is a big city so we have endulged ourselfes in a lot of walking and interaction with the locals on the buses. This to be able to see most of city parts in just a few days. La Recoleta is a nice area between Palermo and downtown. It carries the Ricoleta cemetery which was inaugurated on 17 nov 1822 becoming the first public cemetery on the city of BA. The most relevant players of Argentine history rest in Ricoleta; politicians, military men (but offcourse), statesmen, priests an so on.... A bit creepy though with small palaces for just one person. In La Boca and Palermo we found our favourite spots. We visit La Boca and the Boca juniors stadium and got bitten by the Tango flue at Tango Boca. In Palermo lies our new favourite restaurant , La Cabrera as well as La Casa del Habano where we spent quite some time. The bar Loco por el futbal was the place to be during the fotball game (however this one did not end well) and apperantly Santa Fe when you wanted to do some shopping, however Tina found her new handbag and boots on Av. 9 Julio.
