From our campsite at Paraiso Suizo, we drove back to Atlántida, mostly to visit a church. Of course it is a special church, UNESCO listed, and very fascinating in our opinion. The architect was Eladio Dieste and it was constructed in 1960. Another sight in Atlántida is the Eagle House, or El Águila, at the […]

From Buenos Aires we took the Buquebus (ferry) directly to Montevideo, which was a very comfortable ride of about 3 hours. We arrived in the dark, took a taxi to our AirBnB and fell into bed. The next morning we found the view from our apartment quite interesting. It turned out, we were looking at
During our visit to the Museo del Automóvil in Buenos Aires, we were amazed by its stunning collection of vintage and classic cars. We explored decades of automotive history, surrounded by beautifully restored vehicles, rare racing cars, and nostalgic memorabilia. It felt like a fascinating journey back in time that perfectly showed us Argentina’s rich automotive heritage.

This 100-metre-high building was designed by the Italian architect Mario Palanti on behalf of the textile entrepreneur Luis Barolo and completed in 1923.

From our apartment in Palermo, it was a short stroll into the botanical garden. On the other side lays the Ecoparque, the zoo of Buenos Aires, so we continued to explore some animals too. We didn’t see too many animals, but some we had never seen before. Beside of this funny bird, we saw something
During the last days, we took it more relaxed, staying home when the weather was bad or exploring our neighbourhood. We often started with going to a café for breakfast, or sometimes just the pastelería on the next corner to get some delicious medialunas. One of our excursions took us to the Museo de Arte

The next day, we already had a SUBE card, charged and ready to go at the public transport. The line D took us from the Palermo district into the centre. When we resurfaced, we were at the Obelisk monument in the Plaza de la República. The reinforced concrete structure was erected in 1936 to commemorate the quadricentennial of

The day we arrived was Day 0. We were exhausted from the long flight where we had slept little and the time difference got us too. We managed a walk through the area where we will live during the next weeks and discovered the Botanical Garden close by, but soon it was time for a

As you are not allowed to leave anything valuable, any medicaments, any kind of food including spices, any batteries, no electronic devices in the car, we had a lot to pack and ended up with 5 bags. Of course there were things we could hide somewhere in the car, but we didn’t want to risk

In Belgium, we had chosen Waterloo as our first touristic stop. Most of us know about the important battle which has taken place near Waterloo, but not everybody knows where it lies (we didn’t). The battle of Waterloo marked the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was beaten by the British and Allied forces under
