Back to Buenos Aires

We pack our bags and load up the Hilux. Doug and Kip have left on an earlier flight. They were supposed to fly back to the USA tonight, but a huge winter storm has cancelled thousands of flights, including theirs. They will now fly out two days later, so we’re looking for Tango shows, dinners and hotels in Buenos Aires.

The Dubrovnik car rental man meets us at the airport. He flew in from El Calafate yesterday, and will drive the Hilux back to El Calafate today, a 900 kilometer journey. He’s young and doesn’t seem to mind.

Goodbye to the Hilux

We enter the airport to find the biggest queue we’ve ever encountered. All the cruise ship passengers are leaving today, and we must be on the same flight. Somehow Aerolineas Argentinas has switched planes, cancelled our flight and put us on a new flight without letting us know. The new flight leaves an hour later and flies into EZE, the larger international airport in Buenos Aires rather than flying into Aeroparque Jorge Newberry, which is much closer to our hotel.

We arrive at the hotel just in time to change and head out to the Tango show. We go to Tango Porteno, which is in a beautiful Art Deco theater, and includes dinner and a show. The meal is not bad, and the show is fantastic.

It’s almost midnight when the show ends and we are tired from our travels. Uber back to the hotel for a good night of sleep.
