Not much to say about today, apart from it being a leisurely start at 9, taxi journey to the airport. Concern as to whether our bags will make the transfer at Santiago, onto the flight for Buenos Aires. We do see some great scenery from the plane. Having a window seat allows me to try out the panoramic facility of the volcanic peaks that are protruding through the clouds as we fly back up from P.Arenas to Santiago and then onto Buenos Aires. We land in BA late afternoon on a pleasant sunny day. 
BA is hot, and it is just late afternoon. I wonder what it will be like at midday. We are staying in a quaint looking B&B in one of the older parts of BA, known as San Telmo.

The only problem is that they have our room set up as a double. This means that I am on the settee in the room for the 1st night and they will rearrange tomorrow.
We freshen up and then head out for a walk to orienteer ourselves. It is dark as we walk down to the new docklands area. By docklands I mean the trendy area that once was the docklands. There are a lot of people walking along the attractive, stylish area, which also has a few security/police dotted around. What catches my eye are the colourfully lit old derricks. We just treat ourselves to a dessert before slowly walking back to the hotel. Although we have been sat for most of the day, do feel tired so sleep comes easily.
