Acclimatise and Orientate

Monday 21st
So whilst we wait for the boats to clear the port authorities...
After breakfast in the Aspen Suites Hotel its time for some fitness, so a run in the nearby Plaza San Martin, a leafy, shaded park, home to the Retiro a memorial in honour of the Argentinian soldiers who died in the Falklands war of 1982.

Then Carla's Treasure Hunt
Need to collect 5 bits of information and collect 5 items whilst exploring the City. No mean feat. Grand rewards were promised. Maps were issued and the sailors set to work in teams of 4

From San Martin via the shopping heaven of Calle Florida across the famous 12 lane Avenida 9 de Julioto to the Teatro Colon  opera house then past the Obelisco to the Plaza de Mayo and finally the beautifully modern harp-like bridge at Puerto Madero near the yacht club.
