Friday 19th, last day in BA

Protests about the Falklands - still a sore point
The Perons are still regarded as heroes
Our last full day in Buenos Aires. Weather dull and cool. After breakfast we spent ages trying to buy stamps - the postal service in Argentina is almost non-existent. Eventually we found Correo Argentina. Then a return visit to Plaza de Mayo with its placards, the cathedral again, the city museum and, more interesting, the new bicentennial museum behind Casa Rosada, with its exhibitions of past presidents, who are all heroes now. Had lunch there.


At the hotel got a message from Eliana, who is picking us up at 5am tomorrow. For our last dinner, we went to Filo, an Italian place a few blocks from our hotel. The food, service and atmosphere were excellent. Had an early night.
