Our journey through the wonders of South America has reached its end, the last of it which we have spent in the city that never sleeps...(although we´ve caught it having a nap every now and again). We arrived back to Buenos Aires last thursday night on a boat across the Rio de la Plata from Uruguay. The night had already settled upon the city and it was beautiful floating across the water with the lights of Buenos Aires guiding our way. It had been a long day of travelling though, as we made our way from Punta del Diablo all the way in one day and when we reached a hostel and a bed we were out just like that.
The next morning we woke up to the not so tranquil sound of the busy road outisde our window - a complete opposite of where we´d just spent the last week and a bit, but it was great. We were ready for some city life, and were lucky enough to get a room with a wee balcony where we could spy on the life of the city.
There is so much to do and see in Buenos Aires that even now it feels like we´ve only seen a fraction of it. We have spent our days wondering the busy streets of the center, the not so busy streets of the historical San Telmo where our hostel is, marvelling at the amazing art in various museums and art galleries, shopping to our hearts content in the fashion central of Palermo, spending hours on the many markets of the city admiring crafts and antiques, splashing out and hitting some nice restaraunts and bars, relaxing in the parks and gardens, eating, sipping wine, and to some it up: walking.
The time has flown past and it feels weird to pack our bags for the last time for a bit...at the same time we are happy to settle somewhere for a while. Our journey through all these amazing countries has been truly a great one and I feel lucky that we have had the chance to do this. We have met some of the nicests people, and some not so nice, witnessed true happiness and complete misery, visited some of the most amazing and beautiful places, and most importantly been able to take glimpse at the culture and life of the people.
Now it is time to say goodbye, but we know we will be back one day...
Adios

Oh - such a fitting goodbye, Petra. It sounds sooooo mesmerising. Your Mum and I were talking, she said you wrote some beautiful words, and she nearly cried. Me too. I feel sad, yet excited too for you both. I have definitely travelled the road with you in my heart and my imagination. I will miss the blog. Take care young lovelies. Cec xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteVoi se loppuu nyt!! On ollut niin mielenkiintoista seurata teidän seikkailuja ympäri Etelä-Amerikkaa mutta kaikki päättyy aikanaan, teillä menee varmasti kauan sulatellessa kaikkea kokemaanne. Vinkki Petralle , kirjoita kirja teidän kokemuksista, mää ainakin ostaisin! Pori Jazzit teitä jo odottaa, kiva kun tulette Suomeen, varmasti tavataan kunhan kotiudutte. Turvallista kotimatkaa!!!
