Up at 5 am for early breakfast at the hotel & off to the airport for flight to Buenos Aires.  Bags quite overweight but overlooked by the nice girl at the check-in!  Not so lucky for another couple though.  Problem is we have a weight limit for business class which far exceeds the limit for domestic so may be out  of pocket when we fly back to Santiago next week.  

We were served lunch here at the hotel in BA, the Melia Recoleta Plaza then some of us walked over to the Recoleta Cemetary.  This is like a little city, saw it 30 years go & think it has been cleaned up a bit since then.  Many people around, particularly to look at the tomb of Eva Peron.  

A quick gin & tonic in the bar before 5 taxis were ordered to take us to dinner and Tango.  Some of us enjoyed it more than others, maybe everyone was extremely tired as dinner wasn't until 8.30 and the show started at 10.30.  Several dozed off during the performance,  but we both had a good night.  Not sure what some people expect when they travel - why come to Argentina if they don't want to explore the culture????? 

Happy birthday Jan Swinburne 🍷🍷 and Kate Bowes 🍷🍷
