MVD to AEP on Aerolineas and B.Aires visit

[dttj0069]

Hi there, I'm attempting my first TR and its a short flight, only 40 minutes from Montevideo (MVD) to Buenos Aires (AEP - the smaller inner city airport of the Argentinean capital).

So, here goes, its a crisp and sunny Saturday morning, and here's my awaiting plane


Boarding time


Walking through the aerobridge, nice that the sun shines through


Business Class seats


My seats


Leg Room is not so bad .... for 40 mins


Looking out the window


MVD - not so huge an airport




Bye Bye Montevideo
(interesting fact: Uruguay has less than 4 million people, less than Singapore, but their football team placed 4th at the last World Cup!)


Hmmmm ....this zip-loc looks super recycled

Entertainment ...


Enroute


Hellooo Buenos Aires


Taxi-ing at AEP




No aerobridge but weather's great


The line fro Citizens was longer than the Foreigner's one



and that ends the flight part of the TR ... but will add a few ground shots later

Buenos Aires is quite European ... most of the people have Italian or Spanish ancestry ... the buildings are also look European



the birthplace of Tango



catching a bite .... Choripan (chorizo sausage on bread)


Room at Hotel Caesar Park



More Tango ...

Next morning, its off to the country to a friend's Estancia


I see a lot of cows


and cowboys (Gauchos)


we stop by some remote town


there's a little food shop here


Breakfast !!






he also sells some other food stuff from the area




Moving on .... More cows


and Turkeys

Finally, we reach our destination


the grill is already going


beef !


we take a walk while the beef cooks


the house is rustic and charming






Lunch is ready .... Yummy ... but i gotta say these guys tend to over cook their beef a tad


Well, on that note, that concludes this TR ... hope its interesting for some of you. Salute

Never knew the countryside is so green down there! And the slabs of meat on the BBQ - they know how to cook it! Thanks for the TR, dttj0069!

CarbonMan, it is amazingly green there ... Actually, I only scratched the surface, the country is huge and many more places to explore (skiing, mountains, horse riding, wineries, whale watching, and BA is also very happening as a city)
