On Tuesday we left El Calafate and our wonderful local guide, Laura, and flew back to Buenos Aires. We stayed at the Sofitel, which was extremely comfortable and very handy for shopping ! We variously went to visit some of the highlights, like the Eva Peron Museum, and La Boca, and Tricia and Mike went tango'ing ! before joining us for our final dinner, fittingly, huge steaks !
The journey home on Wednesday (well Thursday actually ) was interesting. In a tropical storm, our aircraft developed a technical problem and our 10pm Wednesday flight turned into a 2.30pm Thursday take off ! Some chaos with baggage reclaim, bussing to hotels back in Buenos Aires, and eventually back to the airport. The flight went smoothly second time around and we landed in Madrid and transferred to Gatwick. A few missing bags notwithstanding, we survived and arrive home safe and sound !!
