Last day in Buenos Aires, I had to leave.
Ahhh ... we woke up ... a bit late, I was saying goodbye to Buenos Aires, without strength, I didn't want to leave!!! Paulista woke up with us! He ended up missing the tour he had already paid for to Uruguay... and the company of his friends!!! It was the third day in a row that something bad had happened to him!
On the first day he was strolling through the streets of Buenos Aires and a woman started talking to him, taking him to a brothel!!! Even though he didn't want to go, she convinced him! She said it was just to get to know the place and he wouldn't have to pay! He ended up going in... and when it was time to leave, the security guard didn't let him leave until he had left all the money in his wallet there! Even though he hadn't consumed anything!
On the second day, it was the day of the night, where he got the "woman"!!! And on the third day, he lost the tour he had already paid for and the company of his friends. We wouldn't stay another day to find out if he continued his run of bad luck. We only went that far. And we really felt sorry for him =/
Well, the four of us, me, Mimi, Rapha and Wolter got ready and went for coffee...
From there we went to reception and asked for information on how we could go to the Tigris River, we had been told that it was an interesting trip to take... and we wanted to see it!!!
The guy was the nicest... he took the famous little map and drew all the places and how we should go!
We left the hostel... took a subte, got off, walked across a square... took a photo of one of the biggest trees I've ever seen!!! And we went to trem!
Every time I got on these trains, I was frightened by how polite they were! People waited for everyone to get off the wagons and then got on calmly and without pushing anyone!
The train carriages had garbage cans and were very clean... near the walls and behind the seats, there was a kind of butt tray (a tray for your butt to lean on), very clever =)
It was a little over an hour's drive... we saw a lot of scenery... huge, beautiful houses and pauper's hovels... But finally! We've arrived!
The place was very beautiful... and we were looking forward to the tour... they said it was the Venice of Argentina... very beautiful and so on...
Very clean streets... everything very organized... I was enjoying it so far... We went for a walk... got to know the place... saw a tree with a little face on its trunk... lol and went to a booth to buy a ticket for the next time slot! It would take a while... so we went to a snack bar and bought a hot dog =) and we were satisfied nham nham =)
Everybody ready?! Yesm ... let's start the Tigreee River tour =D
"Its name comes from the presence of the yaguareté feline (American tiger) which lived in the area before human occupation, which took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rich in flora and fauna in the many islands that appear in the various rivers, the municipality of Tigre (partido) is 30 km from the city of Buenos Aires. "
Aeee different landscape... for the first 10 minutes it was nice... but after that it got boring!!! Miriam fell asleep on the ride... I couldn't take it anymore... it was too long... and more than the same things... houses with bridges over the river and their little boats stopped... gee... more than an hour wasted! Really boring! If the tour had been 20 minutes long, it would have been worth more! In the end, the little boat walked to show NOTHING! And the cold, the wind. All very cold and tense!
It's finally over! This tour must have been nice a while ago... but not now, not for young people like us.... TIP... it's not worth it! If you go to Tigre, enjoy the casino and not the tour!
We left the tour, it was already dark... we went straight to the casino! Now that's something worthwhile! We had a lot of fun! Rapha even won some change. This casino was very different, the one in Uruguay was all electronic... no croupiers or anything... but this one had all that!!! Finally a real casino =D we left there in high spirits... it was a really fun place... we liked it... we hunted down a Burger King and had a sandwich... the journey back was long... and we rushed back to the hostel... we still had to find a restaurant for dinner... it was our last night in the beautiful city!!! And we still had to say goodbye to Wolter, who would be there for two more days!
We arrived at the hostel... took a shower! And we started to ask which restaurants would be good to go to. They pointed out a street where there were lots of restaurants, most of which had tango shows.
It wasn't THE tango show... but there were singers and dancers to entertain us =)
We chose one and went in. It was packed... and with Brazilians hauhauha if two tables were Argentinian it would have been too much... It felt like I was back in Brazil. I could only hear Portuguese in the place =p
Mimi couldn't eat properly, she was very unwell... she took two mouthfuls and felt very bad... Wolter, Rapha and I ate well... and enjoyed the place... the food was delicious...
We said our goodbyes and took pictures. Mimi and I even went to the bathroom and took even more photos... HAUhaUH clowning =p
We finished eating and the seconds in that city were running out. I was getting sadder every moment. At 5 o'clock the next day I would leave that city.erra... and the friends I made there would become more distant...
Wolter would be back in Rio in less than a month. On my birthday he'd be here and we'd still be able to celebrate together =) but the rest of the guys, I didn't know when I'd see again... and that really made me a bit nostalgic... and sad... but also happy with the friends I made and the experiences I had =)
It was a great mix of feelings 😉
We walked back to the hostel... got there... packed everything we had to pack... and spent hours talking until we went to sleep... That night I felt so hot that I couldn't even sleep with a sheet... it must have been the anxiety... and the next thing I knew... the alarm clock was blaring... we ran, got ready and got going!
Wolter left me a bracelet as a souvenir... and I left him a fastener (orange, of course) =)
We arrived at Buenos Aires Airport, went to Uruguay... waited another 20 minutes! We bought more alfajores... and candies =p and then we boarded the plane... from Uruguay to Rio de Janeiro!!! I slept a lot on the flight!
I arrived in Rio and went straight to the gym to teach! With suitcases and everything... the clothes were already there, separated in my closet!!! And an ordinary day in Rio began again...
Until the next trip 😉
