Visit of some beautiful streets of Bs As in Recoleta, ending up at the famous cementery where we had already been the day before. We had a coffee at one of the cafes under the rubber tree and strolled through the the nice handicraft fair that is here every Sunday at Plaza Teniente Alvear. We took a taxi to the zoo (15 pesos with tip) but it was so crowded that we decided to continue, so we went to a Peruvian restaurant "Mamani, el cholo terco" and had a huge delicious ceviche as a main dish -their portions being always incredibly big!- and a chicha morada (drink made of a blue kind of corn). In the evening we went to a Tango show at Cafe Tortoni, with a lot of tango music. On our way back the Italian ladies were robbed just behind of us while we were walking just a little ahead of them on a large road that was just empty at that time. Unfortunately, we were not able to help, and fortunately they only lost a camera. Nevertheless, this was a shock to us.
In the evening we went for a Tango Music Show at the Café Tortoni. Watch the following video:
