 This cruise took us from Buenos Aires (Argentina) to Santiago (Chile).

After 20 hours travel, we were glad to have a good night's rest at the Buenos Aires Sheraton

The next morning, we had a look at the city. Beautiful parks, interesting architecture and wide boulevards. One of the interesting buildings is the "Theatro Colon", the oldest theater in Argentina.

Our hotel was next to Plaza San Martin , home of the monument to the fallen soldiers that defended (Argentina version) the  Malvinas islands (Falklands).

The first stop on the cruise was Montevideo (Uruguay).
The downtown area has intriguing early 20th century architecture, such as the Salvo Palace (early 1920s).
