BUENOS AIRES,ARGENTINA

I fly from Madrid,Spain first to Istanbul and change plane there.From Istanbul we stop at Sao Paolo
Brasil and take fuel and then to Buenos Aires.Long flight.They call Buenos Aires Paris of South America.It is big city ,around 13 million people are living here.They have good underground and bus
net here.Tickets cost around 20 cent,one direction.Underground have only 5 lines but it is enough if
you stay at central area.First day I go to Retiro .It is railway and bus terminal.I buy bus tickets from
Buenos Aires to Santiago Chile for me and Martins.On my way Retiro ,I walk at Av.9 de Julio.
It is one of the biggest streets in the world.14 lines.I also visited at Obeliski  (it is freedom/indipendence monument) and Teatro Colon (opera house,it takes 2500 spectators).

New years day I went to La Recoleta cemetary.It is cemetary where all the famous people from
Argentina are buried,like Eva Peron.I meet my friend Andzs and his wife Eva there.Andzs is coming later to Chile and also ride with us at South America.After that I went to Plaza Mayo,famous park.
There is also statue of revolution (they called it Piramide de Mayo).I also visited Catetral Metropolitana which is most well known cathetral in Buenos Aires.At evening I had a plan to go and see firewoks but felt sleep 10 o`clock and wake up next morning.Hip Hip hurraa! What a new year!
