This cruise took us from Buenos Aires (Argentina) to Santiago (Chile).
|
After 20 hours travel, we were glad to have a good
night's rest at the Buenos Aires Sheraton
|
The next morning, we had a look at the city. Beautiful
parks, interesting architecture and wide boulevards. One of the interesting
buildings is the "Theatro Colon", the oldest theater in Argentina.
|
|
Our hotel was next to Plaza San Martin , home of
the monument to the fallen soldiers that defended (Argentina version)
the Malvinas islands (Falklands).
|
The first stop on the cruise was Montevideo (Uruguay).
The downtown area has intriguing early 20th
century architecture, such as the Salvo Palace (early 1920s).
|
|
Second stop, Puerto Madryn (Argentina) where we
visited a sheep farm and a Sea lions sanctuary.
|
While having lunch at the farm, a Guanaco visited
us.
