Back in January I had got a fantastic deal from British Airways for a non-stop flight from Heathrow to Ezeiza, and thus Johannes, my dad, joined me from Berlin-Tegel on Sunday afternoon.
Über den Wolken…
London from the air
Meanwhile at Terminal 5, Heathrow…
Bye, Stevie baby, see you in 3 months’ time…
Our 777
After 13.5 hours our destination came into view
Río de la Plata between Uruguay and Argentina
Avenida de los Lagos in Nordelta, BsAs
Misty, enchanted landscape…
At Ezeiza
For some reason we couldn’t get any cash from the ATMs at the airport, so we decided to walk the four kilometres from the bus terminal to our hotel.
Johannes on the Plaza de Mayo – the presidential office ‘La Casa Rosada’ (the Pink House) in the background
Memorial of the Falklands/Malvinas Conflict
The Cabildo Buenos Aires – the former city council, today a museum of the May revolution in 1810
Waiting for our friend John in front of our hostel in San Telmo
With John in the Gibraltar, a pub as British as it can be in the historical centre of Buenos Aires
Another of the famous citizens of the Capital Federal – Mafalda
Dinner at ‘La Poesía’….
… where you can get the best ‘Picada’ in town
… and we were joined by John’s better half Cristina
An amazing city, delicious food and great company – and tomorrow we will explore even more of Buenos Aires!
Pumpernickel on Tour 
Yay! You made it! We’ve now started putting your location on the board behind me, until someone buys a map…. maybe 🙂
Safe Travels!

Hi Sheila, that’s great – I’ll try to keep the blog up-to-date but may be a bit behind as we’re so very busy enjoying ourselves. 🙂 Just print out a Google map of South America on A3; black & white, of course, to keep the expense and environmental impact down. Thinking of all of you, take care!
