Eva Peron and Dulce De Leche
2017年12月15日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C
Had lunch at Birkin cafe. Really good. Waffles with dulce de leche were yum and had some very green and foamy mint and ginger lemonade. Radi's meal deal of a salmon and veg pita hit the spot. Good tiramisù for dessert.

Ran into a school friend of Radi's randomly - small world!

Went to Evita museum. No photos inside. It was an interesting view (and with a strongly positive slant) on her role in Argentinian politics. It failed to mention a few home truths - but having since talked with our Tigre guide, maybe leaning towards her being necessary at that time in history (even if we would judge her differently now). She did a lot to help the working class, children and for women's rights. The museum had videos of her speaking to massive crowds, and it was clear she was beloved by many. The impact her death had on the populace was intense, seeing everyone crying and genuinely upset at her loss was pretty astounding. The line to see her body was huge (filled a big street and went down many many blocks).

Most other days we haven't done much (definitely in holiday mode). Stayed in and read a lot of books. Quite hot most days. Nights are cool enough to venture out for dinners at least!もっと詳しく

Decided to go into a bit more of a tourist mode today and check out some of the popular sites. Using the metro for the first time in Buenos Aires we headed to our first site.

Saw the The Pink House (government house) and the balcony where Eva Peron gave her famous address to the masses (was pretty cool after seeing the video of her making the speech at the museum).

Then wandered on to the San Telmo Market. It covers 1km with stalls crammed in on both sides of the street. Mixture of bric a brac, antiques, art, leather, food etc. A lot of the stuff got repetitive - but there was also some pretty cool stuff too (though it got a bit lost in the cheap mass produced stuff). Overall, nothing amazing, but an experience nonetheless.

Onwards we went from there to a little Christmas shop. And boy were we in for a surprise when we found out how EXPENSIVE it was. Opted for a simple ornament and then high tailed it out of there.

Took the metro back to our end of town to check out the El Ateneo Grand Splendid - a palatial theatre turned bookstore. Was definitely cool (a shame that the English book section was so small).

Then home for relaxing evening!もっと詳しく

Tigre time!
2017年12月18日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Went on an airbnb experience to the Tigre delta today. So much fun!!

Took metro then train. They have orderly queues as marked on the ground - well organised train stations. Train was a bit late possibly due to the national strike (more on that later). Got there on time and found our hosts (and eventually found the other chap - a British techno/drum musician).

Cruised along the river with our hosts and enjoyed some of the interesting history of the delta. Went down little canals beneath trees and saw little houses. Saw the supermarket boat that goes around the houses selling water and groceries etc.

Eventually made our way to a restaurant on the edge of the UNESCO marshlands, with a view over to Buenos Aires in the distance.

Had a fantastic schnitzel with chips and salad, followed by brownie and flan with dulce de leche. A lovely time although we got a little bit sunburnt (yes even Radi who'd never been sunburnt prior to this).

On the way back we stretched out on the front of the boat as we cruised more back streams. By this time there were riots and people throwing rocks at police in Buenos Aires so our host very kindly gave us a ride back to town, which was very nice. Except for the part where her car broke down by the slums, only to then be towed to a spot in town right near the riots...

Was fine though, we just walked back to our accomodation which was in the opposite direction.

A great day overall!もっと詳しく

Don't Cry for Me Argentina...
2017年12月20日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
And so our last day here as snuck around. Mixed feelings, as it signals the end of our trip which we've loved... but also sheer excitement to be home again to see friends and family!

Have had a lovely relaxing time here, with a few sight seeing attempts thrown in the mix. Mainly read a lot of books and ate a lot of delicious cherries (very cheap and good here). Got to see a very dramatic lightning storm from the safety of the apartment, which was pretty cool too.

But of course we couldn't have left Argentina without trying their world-famous steak. So for lunch we headed to Don Julio - a rather fancy establishment well known for their steaks. And yup. Talk about perfect. Definitely best steak we've ever had. Hyped expectations met.

Then back to the apartment to finish packing, before jumping into the taxi for the three hour drive to airport.

Goodbye Argentina and world trip... we're going home!もっと詳しく

After flight delays (from Buenos Aires to Auckland) and a missed connection (Auckland to Dunedin) - we were very pleased by a surprise visit from Radi's dad who'd come to keep us company at Auckland Airport. He was also awesome and got our ongoing flight to Dunedin rescheduled so we didn't miss out!

So good being back in NZ. Lovely to hear the kiwi accents and see familiar faces. And the flat whites.... ah the wonderful flat whites.

Definitely good to be back home... and definitely looking forward to not living out of a bag anymore.

Having said that - we did have an amazing time. We got to see some pretty cool places, learnt a lot of interesting histories and stories, ate a LOT of delicious food... and got to meet some seriously lovely people! Thank you to everyone who kindly looked after us on our travels.

And to everyone that patiently followed us on our travel rambles, thank you... and we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!もっと詳しく
