Buenos Aires – Park Day – 12th March – Day 9

We headed over to Charlotte’s favourite park, where we had arranged to meet up with “Little Charlotte”, Trevor and Sarah (who lived in the same apartment block we had stayed in for a month).

Charlotte’s favourite type of a day – first she played with Little Charlotte, then we rented a rowing boat on the lake

and finally we rented rollerblades.

Back on board by 3.30pm and, after a little delay, the ship set “sail” (well motor!) We had to go over 100 km down the Rio Plata

- although one of the widest rivers in the world, it is shallow and the shipping lane is very narrow, constantly dredged and one way – inbound/outbound boats have to wait for channel to clear.
