Buenos Aires; Avenida Florida to Retiro

We are able to collect our luggage from the truck and are back by 10;30am; slightly stressful waiting for the timing, but a happy ending. It is the end of the trip with Oasis now....

Ant and I do our own thing today for shopping reasons. I go out to Avenida Florida; down by the Casa Rosada, it is a pedestrian walkway lined with shops and posh malls (galerias). It's worth visiting in its own right, as there are some interesting sites.

Avenida Florida ends at the Plaza San Martin in Retiro barrio, and I walk through this to reach the Torre Monumentale; it is possible to go up this and enjoy some lovely views, which I did. Retiro is where the main bus and train stations are located for Buenos Aires.Läs mer
