Leaving the ship bright and early, we were bussed to the Ushuaia airport for a three and a half hour flight back to Buenos Aires. Some of our group of 25 would be going back home on an overnight flight. About 18 of us were staying for the post trip to Iguassu Falls. That flight there was scheduled for Monday at 9 am. Once we got back to the city, we all went back to the Panamericano Hotel where we had stayed our first two nights of our trip. Frank and I even had the same room, 512. This time our key worked on the first try!
Our group went for a late lunch at an Italian Restaurant near our hotel called Broccolino Italiano. Most of us ordered either pasta or pizza. It was tough figuring out prices. Argentina uses peso which are 16 to a dollar. When you see 240 pesos it is hard to mentally figure out the price. Thank goodness for the calculator on my phone!
We had free time in the afternoon. It felt great to relax at the hotel for a while. Later, we explored the pool and the observation deck which offered great views of the city.
We also went for a light supper at a nearby McDonald’s. Boy, what a time that was trying to get the gal who did not speak English to understand our order even though we were pointing to the picture above the counter. Fortunately, a man behind us told the waitress in Spanish that we wanted a Big Mac and French Fries combo!
Since our luggage had to be out by 6 and we needed to leave by 7:15 am, we decided to skip the tango club (Frank really wanted to find that dancer!) and called it a day!
I’m sure Frank would want to see that dancer again!!! Frank looks so happy under that tree!! Does he ever take pictures?
Frank says that that’s his tough guy look. No, he rarely takes pictures.
