Friday 9th January 2010

Buenos Aires. We got up late. This is the door to our hotel rooms. For some reason we have a doublr romm and two singles. Luckily there is air conditioning to keep us cool.
In the Plaza de Mayo there is a camp for Falklands veterans. There is still a lot of feeling about this, though a lot of young men died to save the Junta of General Galtieri.



The Casa Rosada, which is the equivalent of No 10 in England, and the place from where the Perons made their speeches.

The former Docks is a big regeneration project - lined with swanky restaurants, offices etc, in the style of Greenwich, Liverpool, Cardiff Bay, Barcelona, Valencia etc. This is a boat that was used to explore Antartica.



Swinging Bridge




More views of the docks



The must have signature bridge - Puente de la Mujer



It is also a swing bridge


Another boat



Even the pigeons sunbathe




The twenty lane main street which runs through BA



A late night beer - about 1 am
