Cloudless, warm day. Been here a couple of times before but really is a beautiful place.
Lynne’s cold not improved, so delayed our departure and caught shuttle bus at around 11am.
Dropped off at the top of the main shopping street – Calle Florida – and ambled along, looking in the shops and hidden galerías.
More expensive than Brazil but about the same as the U.K.
Called in a cafe, at about 1pm and said that we just wanted to order coffees – last thing we need is more food. It was very pleasant and German themed, with German City shields adorning the walls. Also had some German specialties on the menu and Lynne could not resist the Strudel with ice cream. I was obliged to even things up and ordered empanadas – bit of a mistake, as there were two of them and about the size of Greggs’ Cornish pasties. Noticed the size of the meals and they were definitely US sized portions.
Waddled further on but temperature was up to 34º and decided to return to ship, at about 3pm.
Noted Galeria Pacifico in downtown by BA. Amazing place which was the original HQ of the railway company my grandfather worked for. Did either of you buy a leather jacket?
Hi Adrian,
Did not buy any leather goods – just T shirt and fridge magnet.
