Si parte!!

Our journey begins on the morning of September 11th: the day of our wedding! I get up at 6 and my brother takes me to the hairdresser ... uccini sing in the car! The day promises sunny .... WOW ... I could not hope for better! In Stephen's Church is waiting for me ... ... my boyfriend ... .. smiling as always ... .... I am seized by ... ... .. but when he gives me his arm to take me to the altar, calmed me a bit 'and I can enjoy the whole ceremony and songs.
After the ceremony away for lunch and photos of Bellagio, the pearl of Lake Como ... ... ... Time will attend our wedding and the day flies away in the blink of an eye ... ... ..
The evening greeted the friends who have continued to celebrate
with us in our house ... .. I did not hear for 3 weeks ... .... We are approaching our mega honeymoon ... ..

Argentina / BRAZIL ARRIVED!! On 13 you get up early, we expect a lot of flight hours before arrival in Buenos
Aires. Begin to be agitated and worried ... .... Anxious as usual ... .... The news that I found online regarding
Iberia, they put the worm of the suitcases and time! Luckily my husband is calm and brand new test
to infuse a bit 'of his faith. Ci riesce … ma solo un po’!!!
We go!! We are on time and I am beginning to calm down seriously. In Madrid the airport an hour will grow a little 'up to almost three hours ... .. But who cares ...? Now we're on the road !!!!! Missing "only" 13 hours ... ... ... ... ... ... .. Contrary to what is read around the staff Iberia, although not particularly sympathetic, he is kind and helpful, though .... hostesses ... .. are among the older I've ever seen! arrive in Buenos Aires around 21:30 and the show that presents itself is really indescribable.
A vast expanse of lights that seem to have no end. Some may think "you were expecting? And 'one of the largest mega-cities of South America? "Oh well .... I had never seen a megalopolis before now! But what is even more
impressive is that, after flying over this immensity of light for a good quarter of an hour (and am not crumbs!), did not
end in sight! finally landed ... the wait begins for the bags! I scan the roller while in my brain go through all the episodes that I had read about luggage lost and never recovered. ... Eager as ever ... .. but the wait is
short and, for once, Iberia has not failed! Here he comes and I shot a sigh of relief ... ... my hubby
gloats, "I told you so! E 'unnecessary anxiety before! "Blessed is he! Exit awaits Andrea, an Italian friend who
lives in Argentina and operates the tourist agency Argentinaconnoi with Manuela, his wife. We have given them throughout the organization of our trip, flights, hotels and a part of the excursions. Excellent choice! We managed to see very quickly and everything was organized perfectly! The Aereporto is very close to downtown, so a little less than half an hour we are at the hotel. The hotel is in Avenida Corrientes Avenue that never sleeps (and I can assure you that it is true) and near the famous Avenida 9 de Julio! Basically, to be nearer the Obelisk, we have to camp the flowerbed his feet! Hurry up the check-in Andrew, who will greet the next morning to deliver all voucers and tell us a little bit of Buenos Aires.Finalmente Shower Room ... ... and finally sleeping! We are 25 hours on your feet!

TANGO AT BUENOS AIRES

The next day, or for the time, you want to forward us awake at 5:30! I can not wait to go to the neighborhood of Boca! After breakfast, while waiting with Andrea voucers and so, we begin to explore the surroundings and, needless to say, we look at the obelisk. In itself the Obelisk has nothing special, except that is at the center dell'Avenida 9 de Julio, Avenida largest in the world! Seven lanes in each direction, more
The flower beds ... .... It 'really great and there is even here ... .. ... .. traffic is heavy. Stephen immediately began taking pictures and filming everything ... ... I am a bit 'perplexed ... ... does not seem to be in Latin America.
One thing that immediately jumps to the eye in Buenos Aires is the large amount of taxis in circulation ... .. I think the percentage could be 60% of cars in circulation. I am a bit 'dazed by the chaos of cars and the spindle, I have yet warm ... ..
After meeting with Andrew, let's explore a bit 'the city for us and I am beginning to savor the idea of finally being in Argentina. Where do we start our tour if not the Plaza de Mayo?
Think that makes a certain effect, right there, they marched for 30 years, the mothers of the disappeared. Yeah, "marched. In recent months, in fact, these mothers do not march more, because they have reached an agreement with the government. One of the peculiarities of the Plaza de Mayo is that, on earth, there is a
draws a circle of scarves, a symbol of these mothers. Before us is the Casa Rosada ... .. Do not cry for me
Argentina ... .... The first thing that comes to mind is precisely that on the balcony are facing countless times
Mrs Peron ... .... Or rather, Evita Peron. This woman is so original, upstart and holy, vindictive and devout, that I
Always fascinated. We should be close to the famous (at least according to the Guide Routard, because nobody seems to know) Pharmacy Estella ... ... BA's oldest pharmacy, full of paintings, wooden benches and mosaic ... ... .. We seek for almost half an hour and when we find it. ... Well, the old pharmacy near my house is more attractive ... ... ... Stephen stand me.
We make two steps in the walkways filled with shops and Stephen begins to feel the pangs of hunger ... strange! ... ... .. eat something on the fly because then we will meet with Andrea. La Boca ... .... We're coming!! The neighborhood of Boca is very cheerful, colorful houses, tango in the street, although that remains is for the consumption of tourists ... ... but then ....
We who? Outside the chimney ... .. better not go there! Moving away from the chimney in the distance we see the stadium of Boca, the so-called Favor ... .. I do not know how famous, but .... you know who is the only stadium in the world where Coca Cola advertises with the mark on a blue background and not on a red background? ... .... Should got to do something with the colors of the home team unless I am mistaken, but I'm a landslide on everything related to football!
From here we head to Puerto Madero, Argentina passed the favelas, which here is called "Villa" ... ... ... these poor people live in what remains of ruined houses, no nothing. ... Not even the hope of changing their status . Close to the house and started his area of Puerto Madero. Recently restored, is the area of the evening stroll, some good restaurants. As I will later realize during our stop in Brazil, is a common thing in Latin America. We stop to eat an ice cream that is not bad ....
But these Argentines have 6 / 7 ice cream flavors all made of "dulce de leche" ... ... I do not like ... too sweet.
We head to Belgrano where we're going to see the tomb of Evita and the Church of Pilar. The Church is a Baroque Latin American and I remain fascinated, I like the contrast of white walls and dark wooden benches with the pomp of the statue of the Virgin and Saints massive and golden. Annexed is the Recoleta cemetery, where Evita Peron is lying. Needless to say I want to get in ... ... I do not know why, but I always find a reason to go to a cemetery during my travels!
Will be buried here because in the history of a nation or a deviation of some of my mind ... .. I do not know, but it almost always happens in the end I go there ... ... I do not know '. However I find that the custom of the time, was to leave the coffin resting in view inside the chapels. And efffetti one sees a lot ... .. some decrepit that seems to be on the verge of collapse.
It makes a certain effect .... A little 'horror film if I'm honest. The trumpet of Evita is how I imagine ... in
narrow streets, with a gate of black and a red flower hanging. We head towards Palermo and make a stop in one of the famous parks! What do I see? The first Dogsitter of my street ... ... ... .. Well, here in BA is normal ... ... ..
Since the time it favors Andrea offers us a trip to the town of Tiger for the next day. We accept and then we go to book a visit for the largest theater in the world. Colon. To our disappointment is fully booked until Sunday ... .. But we will be already in Patagonia ... ...
BA is a very big city, but it is very easy to navigate ... .. better than I thought!
The day is not over yet .... Back to the hotel and after a quick shower we prepare ourselves. Tango tonight at the school of Carlos Gardel.
Here, a full orchestra and several pairs of dancers give life to an exciting spectacle!! A dancer, dancing even two brooms! Magistral! And 'the only word I could use to describe it! I love dance very much, although the Argentine tango, I never thoroughly, so it gives me great joy, mixed with not a little envy, see these dancers! The only downside of the evening is that .... We went down the eyelid ... .. The wine we were served (abundant and excellent), but especially the time zone did not allow me to enjoy even more entertainment. This show is called
very tourist etc ... .... I can only say that it is wonderful! Missed .... Tourist or not ... .. (but both of us if we are not tourists?) With a little 'regrettable because the show is over and with great joy because in a few minutes I will be nannna, Rita and salute Dario (whom I met by chance at TPC and we discovered that we would be the same evening in the same theater) and we are reaching our hotel.

Tigers

Today it goes for a surf through the channels of the town / neighborhood (do not understand anything of Buenos Aires still should be part of the city) to the Tigers. Only about 30 km from Microcentro there is this sort of Nordic Venice that you can visit with a trip on a boat. The houses are in northern European style and one gets the impression of being sailing in Scandinavian countries ... .. but for the vegetation that is completely different. Wooden houses each with its own dock and your style ... .. also come across the boat Supermarket ... ... .. Yes, because women think luck, here is the supermarket that goes by you .... Not vice versa! .. The morning is relaxing ... ... it takes, because we are still a bit ' "bust" by the spindle. Tigers let us return from leave in Recoleta, where we visit the Museum of Fine Arts and then we relax in the park.
In the evening we go to eat at Cabana Las Lilas in Puerto Madero. This restaurant is a bit 'expensive for Argentine standards (about 30 €), but we were told that is the best of Buenos Aires and since we are here we try it! Meat divine! And the wine! Damn the wine in Argentina has nothing to envy to the present. Discover the Malbec .. and various wineries .. the wine that will accompany us throughout our trip! Here we are also the first encounter with the steak format "Dino". You know when Fred Fliston launches Steacks with the bone Dino ... .. here .... More or less the dimensions are. The portions are very plentiful in Argentina. ... Remember this! Sated and happy return to the hotel. Up early tomorrow morning ... .. you leave for Puerto Madryn!

Punta Tombo, Gayman and Puerto Madryn

We leave the big bags at the hotel and depart with hand baggage only. ... Abundant for the truth .... But on domestic flights are not tax too (maybe they are not at all). Our plane is on time and after two hours of flight at nine o'clock we landed in Trelew. Here is waiting for the bus that will take us to make the trip to Punta Tombo. The weather is beautiful, not too cold though a bit 'windy. Along the road we spot several guanacos, unfortunately, still far enough ... .... ... And after almost two hours. penguins! The habit that you have, is to see the penguins in an ice ... .. here is not so. The Magellanic penguins dig their burrows in the ground and these poor guys are also made about one kilometer to reach the nest ... ... .... In mid-September, the colony is not complete, there are only males who prepare the nest. ... Men learn, learn!
We note with pleasure (though we are two smoking) at the park we put out the cigarettes. ... habit that we often find in parks argentini.Comincia so our ride in the middle of the penguins ... ... follow a path that has the default order not to disturb the home side. The imperative is, then we are the guests try to disturb as little as possible! Idea that is our full approval. The hills behind us and penguins who are teeming with burrows with their awkward gait earn the coveted nest until the females arrive. Being here at maximum presence, ie, female and children already born to be crazy ... ... the guidance states that the more correct term would be "puzzesco" as well as beautiful ... ... .... "Imagine 50,000 penguins that make the shit together" ... ... ... Here's how to disassemble an image romantic ... .... The sea below the cape is beautiful and, in short, we find our penguin "favorite". Preferred in the sense that he was there in the middle of the path and polish pens without blinking, while we get as close as possible to photograph the best .... A treasure in short! Peering into burrows and wander around this promontory enjoying the fresh air ... ... ... ... we are in Patagonia!
On the way back we stop at the Museum of Prehistory of Trelew and then to Gaiman, the Welsh village, where we take a tea with an abundant amount of excellent homemade cakes. But time is pressing, a couple who is with us is leaving for Ushuaia by plane of 18:00 ... the guide, the legendary Hugh, is quiet .... Them a little 'less ... it's already 17:00 and we still dined and drank the .... But .... At 17:30 for the airport and loaded without problems ... .... I told you that I'm not really tax qui.Ci head to Puerto Madryn finally end up at the hotel where our suitcases. The hotel is small and cozy and is located on the seafront of Puerto Madryn, a few meters from the long pier where the ships dock. Let's go for a walk, is a small but very quiet and watch the sun ... ... the colors are gorgeous and I have already fallen in love with this terra.Stefano get a happy ... ... .. and the evening we eat based steak ... .. needless to say .... Watered with a good Malbec wine!

The whales and the peninsula Valdes

The next morning Stephen gets up early to go to photograph the sunrise ... ... I can not do it and I sleep a little longer '. We expect the sighting of whales ... ... ... ..
We travel for about 1 ½ hours before arriving at Puerto Pyramides Embarkation .... I am impatient, I hope that the patch really do effect against sea sickness ... I would not feel bad just when we spot the whales! We arm ourselves to life-jacket and .... We start! After a few minutes of browsing, already in the Gulf in front of Puerto Pyramides we spot a whale, then another ... ... is beautiful. There are several, some with the small side. WOW. Undisturbed swim close to the various boats and show us their magnificent tail tourists eager to photograph them (to me, emulating Fantozzi, freezes the camera just when the whale shows its tail in less than 2 meters from the objective!) ! Of course I'm really bloated ... ... I get tears in my eyes ... .. One of them could without any difficulty overturn one of our boats ... .. but they are gentle creatures ... .. men who are not.
The boat trip ended too soon, it starts again and this time, we're going to see the elephant seals. The landscape is arid Patagonian steppe, but the spectacle of the cliffs above the blue sea is enchanting. Reach their destination, where I, for the first time in my life, I eat the lamb ... .. or rather, the Cordero Patagonia. I could not say no, on the other side. View my indecision the cook, with a nice plump face and solar power, I cut a little bit on purpose for me to taste, and with exquisite politeness I asked if it was good .... How could I say no? But it was really good! Stefano has these problems, is a good fork and appreciates good food!
After lunch we go down the path that will lead us to the beach where they sleep in the sun some elephant seals. Even here, via the cigarette before entering the protected area. We can not be closer to sea lions because there is a ban on down to the beach ... ... and amazingly, no one test or complain about it. Elephant seals are mammoth. Is there some huge male, which reaffirms its supremacy with audio prompts and even some feminine side with her puppy all black.
Even these days coming to an end. We head back to Puerto Madryn, where Stefano wants to do a little shopping. A quick shower and we are already in the street ... .... But mistake or in the bay here in front of us there is a puff? Already is just one puff ... .. then there are the whales here too! We go on the pier and we remain a long time to admire this charming whale that came to greet us. He sits there all quiet and play with his tail .... It seems to be dancing ... ... .. The sun is setting ... ... lingered a while and then go shopping ... .. Needless to say ... I buy a fleece with the tail of the whale.
After dinner, I insist. ... Want to go see if the whale is still ... ... Stephen is not convinced ... ... .. But I'm right! It 'still there ... seems to want to be seen at all costs, in fact, approached the dock and the lights illuminate. It 'amazing how man has managed to integrate so much with the environment, so as not to annoy these beautiful mammals that sometimes leave total peace in Puerto Pyramides to get around in "the city". This is proof that if you want you can do! While we are still enjoying "my" whale in water, it is something clear ... .. say a dolphin (see dolphins everywhere ... You must forgive me), a shark says Stefano ... .... We were wrong either. ... Luna is a fish! Now it's time to go, but it difficult to tear myself away from this pier ... ... .. I look up to heaven and what I see? A shooting star! What fantastic day! Salute the "my" whale and Puerto Madryn with great sadness on my part ... .. tomorrow we will fly to El Calafate ... ... but now is clear: Patagonia te Quiero.

El Calafate

It's off to El Calafate, but the two hours flight increases exponentially ... ... ... Unfortunately, rare case in El Calafate airport closed due to snow storm. So we landed in Rio Gallegos to "only" 320 km from our destination. After waiting 3 hours to start with the buses coaches comfortable. The trip takes 3 hours and, although I would have preferred to avoid it, we can see the vastness of this land el'aridità. Met with only 3 or 4 cars on route, the view is very limited because of snow ... in any case there is much to see but a few sheep. We arrive to El Calafate and to our great relief, a pale sun is back! The hotel is outside the center, but enjoys a splendid view of Lake Argentino, and is beautiful, all wood and stones at sight. We drink a tea and then we go out on patrol.
The center of El Calafate at first sight seems the land of Snow White, many wood shop in a very expensive na! Dinner at Mi Viejo excellent meat and, needless to say, Malbec (about 22 € in two as usual). It 'time to go to bed!

The Perito Moreno!

Tomorrow we expect the Perito Moreno. It starts and after an hour's bus arrive at the Parque de los Glaciares.Prima to get to the corner where we have a first view of the Perito Moreno, the guide provides background music that will serve all the OH! Bellissimo! Wonderful and Bonito will feel that a little later. But this is nothing compared to when you find it there before. Let's start with the navigation on the north facade. Its beauty is breathtaking, the blue peaks, the thuds of the pieces of ice falling into the water, its majesty ... ... Who said that this view alone is worth the journey, not wrong. You can see it a thousand times in pictures or on television, but when you find them before it takes your breath emotion fills you.
After lunch continue to visit the front. Even here, I would never to go back. The day semisoleggiata .... The top to see the shimmering blue ice ... .. there are going to go when, to our great joy, a wall right in front of us, fall ... ... (and even manage to photograph it ... .. not even look at the lens .. I press the button and just ... ... ... ..) . This fall, the Perito Moreno, does not indicate a retreat of the glacier, but it is physiological. In his case, the new ice that forms on top of the mountains is able to balance what melts.
It 'got to get back ... .. inaugurating the Jacuzzi in our room and then dinner at the table. Needless to say that even here the meat is excellent. Choosing a wine recommended by a TpC .... Malbec (as usual) the cellar Ruca Malen ... .. Spending advice ... Good.

The next morning we left for the navigation of Lake Argentino. The catamaran that will take us for a walk around the lake is the very latest generation and super. Comfortable seats, satellite navigation and ... a PC workstation, where the photographer of the photos that you load board has made during the trip on the CD you want to buy ... ... Stefano enhances the CD and book! I'm glad this trip is willing to ... ... as for me since I organized almost everything myself!
After about a half hour navigation we begin to glimpse the first Iceberg ... .. great .... One looks like a blue cave! Me and Stephen, the change we continue to move from one side of the boat to never miss one. They look like two little kids a 'frantic! I am also fascinated by water, the so-called Leche Glaciar. It 'strange, is thick, looks like a slush melted, but not completely ... .. The Upsala glacier is silhouetted in front of us a whole greatness. It has an area of over 500 square km ... anyway ... at all things from nothing ... .. But we can not bring a great deal because of the large icebergs break off and are there before.
We head towards the Bay Onelli, where we can get off the catamaran. To reach this bay is necessary to take a walk through a forest of Lengas ... ... .. In this forest full of moss and lichen (including the very old Beard of old) may emerge from time to time, a gnome or a fairy, and the nice thing is that you did not see anything wrong with that. It looks like the enchanted forest of fairy tales! After 20 min. walking we reach the bay Onelli. Small pearl crowned homonymous glacier. In this beautiful landscape, nature reigns supreme and you feel at peace with the world. A myriad of fragments of ice over the water toward the lake, the sky is a beautiful blue, the fresh air but not cold, and stunning mountains on the horizon will make this unforgettable place in my memory. But the road map calls for return to the catamaran ... .. Phew, there we remain a few more hours!
We end the trip past the glacier Spegazzini. E 'glacier highest among all sites visited, however, again because of the posting of large blocks of ice, you can not get closer. This prevents us from fully appreciate the spectacle.
Back to the hotel and after the last bath, tomorrow it starts again, in our hot tub we go to dinner at the table with Andrew and Miriam. The evening passed pleasantly and go to bed quite late. Stephen has found a dear companion snack! The next day we start all 4 to Buenos Aires.

Iguazù (Brazilian side)
