Flight back home

On friday we leave Buenos Aires. Here we were on the way to the airport.

Infront the departures area.

Our flight was allready on the departures board. We leave Argentina with the Lufthansa again. Our destination was Frankfurt am Main.

And here we saw our big bird get fuel with kerosene. 

Now we have to say bye bye the Argentina!

It was so nice to visit this awesome country!

On the racecourse

Today we want to visit the racecourse.

Horse racing is very popular in Buenos Aires and several times a week the two racecourse in Palermo and San Isidro open the doors.

We went to the race in Palermo

All horses were presented to interested viewers

  We decided to have a flutter

Here is the lucky bill

And off we went!

But unfortunately we had no luck.

We backed the wrong horse...

But it was a big fun!

Next to Cristina Fern�ndez de Kirchner and Michelle Bachelet

Today we did another sightseeing tour in Buenos Aires. But the wether was not so nice. It was a rainy day...

In a shopping mall we found the whole soccer jersey of the Argentina national soccer team! We cross fingers for you! But Germany will be better ;-)

And then something special happened! We saw the first lady of Argentina!

The lady in black is Cristina Fern�ndez de Kirchner. She is the 52nd and current President of Argentina! Next to her is Michelle Bachelet the President of Chile! 

Wow! that was a big honor for us!!

Buenos Aires at night

Tonight we were on the streets of Buenos Aires.

Many historic buildings are illuminated at night.

The Puente de la Mujer, in the Puerto Madero district, is a pedestrian bridge opened in 2001. It was designed by Valencian architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava. The bridge is 160 meters long and 6 meters wide, with a metallic mast that rises 39 meters. The bridge swings aside when a ship needs to pass through. The bridge was built in Spain and moved in parts to Buenos Aires in many shipments. Artistically, the author states that the work represent the figure of a couple dancing tango, where the white mast represents the man, and the curved silhouette of the bridge represents the woman.

And now we are next to this nice bridge!

Buen d�a! Buenos Aires

We were warmly welcome from Buenos Aires!

We enjoyed the sunset at the river R�o Paran�

The Obelisco of Buenos Aires is a national historic monument. Here we are next to it.

This is the monument of the Falklands War.

Tomorrow we will leave Buenos Aires. Our next destination is C�rdoba.

After the long flight!

Now we are on our long flight to Argentina.

 From Frankfurt, we flew across the Atlantic to South America.

Then we were already over Brazil. No long time anymore we arrived!

 Now it was time, finally we arrived in Argentina! Hooray, Hooray! After thirteen and a half hours we had solid ground under our feet.

 At nine o'clock we ate typical Argentine breakfast on the Plaza San Mart�n in Buenos Aires.

We look forward to the next days! See you soon.
