Part 20: Adios - from
Buenos Aires
13 & 14 December 2003
On transit to Buenos Aires - Left Cusco by the noon flight to Lima – flew from
Lima around 5pm – arrived in Santiago at 8pm local time – spent the night at
the transit lounge of the Santiago airport – took the morning 9am flight to
Mendoza and arrived there around 10:30.
I booked myself in a Hotel in Mendoza for half a day, as I decided to take a
bus to Buenos Aires on the same evening. I have been in touch with Tina and
Jasper, who are in Buenos Aires now. On my request they have already booked
a room in Hotel Chile on Avenida de Mayo, where they were staying. Tina and
Jasper is also on the last leg of their tour, they will be leaving for
Holland on 21st December, while I am scheduled to leave for Munich on the
18th – it would be nice to spend the last few days in Buenos Aires with this
nice couple - I left Mendoza by 8:00 pm bus.
15-21 December 2003
Arrived in Buenos Aires early next morning and straightway took a taxi to
the Hotel Chile. Later in the morning met Tina and Jasper, it was a hearty
reunion with them – we went out together to the central district
and few other places – a lazy roaming about in the city.
Next day I did the same, and some shopping- Tina and Jasper was with me for
a while then went separate way. On 17th evening we went out to a Tango show
in San Talemo area – it was quite entertaining. During the day also got my
remaining negatives digitised.
On the 18th morning, I changed my departure date to the 21st – I was lucky to be
able to change the date so close to the Christmas day. I spent the extra two days
mostly shopping for gifts – visited few places with Tina and Jasper,
particularly the boat trip from Tigre through the estuaries of Rio Del Plata
was most remarkable.
On 21st morning bade good-bye to Tina and Jasper, who will be also leaving
that evening. I left by 2:00Pm flight for Madrid.
