Last entry for this blog as we start for home tomorrow,
weather is better today about 27 and no rain. After breakfast decided to have a
quieter day and check out a few places near here. First up the Recoleta Cemetery
which is where the tomb of Eva Peron is located, it’s located in a little
corner of Recoleta and is very impressive with so many ornate mausoleums packed
into this cemetery amazing amount of people there. There is a map of the cemetery just as you enter,
and they have her mausoleum marked on it so only took us a few minutes of
walking to locate her after taking a few pictures of her’s and some other
peoples mausoleums it was time to grab an uber and head to Teatro Colon. This is the main opera house for Buenos Aires
and was opened in 1857 acoustically considered one of the best in the world, unfortunately
for us they have the philharmonic orchestra playing Disney tonight so they
weren’t doing tours today and hadn’t been for a few days while this show has
been on tried to get tickets for tonight but show is sold out, advised we could come back later in the week.
From here decided to go to Café Tortoni when we got there, we had a small wait
for a table which apparently is always the case with this restaurant. The café opened
in 1858 and is very ornate just like when it opened, Pete had a steak sandwich
and I had a cheeseburger, and we both had strawberry milkshakes was lovely. Time to pack and get ready for home, it’s been
an amazing holiday seen and experienced so much, Antarctica definitely lived up to our
expectations and probably more.
