Travel Stories

It was a short trip, no thanks to Cayman Airlines changing our flight from Thursday to Friday making our already tight timeline even tighter. After sitting on the tarmac for 50mins waiting for the Cuban-Americans to transfer from their Miami - Cayman connection to our Cayman - Havana flight (the “Swamp Loophole”) the fun was just beginning.  

Steve´s mumblings:   Into Sucre, hotly pursued by Jon and Alex the amiable Aussies. A super white city, crammed full of colonial/mezito architecture, grand plaza, and impressive array of churches. The Andean indigenous folk make a return, bowler hats, massive skirts... and a bit of attitude. The smell of meat on stick, and small shops packed full of ramdon stuff.

When travelling to Buenos Aires, it is essential to take a day trip to Uruguay to discover Colonia del Sacramento. Ferries depart daily from Puerto Madero, the new and famous district of Buenos Aires. Fares are reasonable and it takes three hours to cross the wide and muddy Rio La Plata.
