The last day

The last day we woke up early because we had to prepare our suitcase, it was a mess!!
After this we had the breakfast and an hour later we said goob bye to our hotel!
Firts we went to Puerto Madero, also known within the urban planning community as the Puerto Madero Waterfront, is a district of the Argentine capital at Buenos Aires, occupying a significant portion of the Río de la Plata riverbank and representing the latest architectural trends in the city of Buenos Aires. We did a sightseen of it, and then we stopped in the icon of women in Baires the "Puente de la Mujer" is a rotating footbridge for Dock 3 of the Puerto Madero commercial district of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is of the Cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge type and is also a swing bridge, but something unusual in it is that has an asymmetrical arrangement. It has a single mast with cables suspending a portion of the bridge which rotates 90 degrees in order to allow water traffic to pass. We took a lot of pictures and walk across the enourmous and white brige...until we arrive to
Fragata Sarmiento is a museum ship, originally built as a training ship for the Argentine Navy. She is considered to be the last intact cruising training ship from the 1890s.
The ship was originally built for the Argentine naval academy. The Fragata made thirty seven annual training cruises including six circumnavigations of the globe. She is now maintained in her original appearance as a museum ship near the center of Buenos Aires. This ship was named for Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, the seventh President of Argentina. When we were on it started raining so strong!! It was degengerous here...it was the double now!
After this we came back to the bus and started the trip to Tigre is a town in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, situated in the north of Greater Buenos Aires. Tigre lies on the Paraná Delta and is an important tourist and weekend attraction, easily reached by bus and train services. It is also the principal town of the Tigre Partido.
The town sits on an island created by several small streams and rivers and was founded in 1820, after floods had destroyed other settlements in the area, then known as the Partido de las Conchas.
The area's name derives from the tigers or jaguars that were hunted there, on occasions, in its early years. We ate on a bout at the same time we wanted to throw up the food. Then we had a ride on it and do a typicall thin that when you see a person on the bridge you must say hi! On this river there is a particular house.. Casa Museo Sarmiento, the house was built in 1855 with wood; and in there, the ex-president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento spend 30 years relaxing and writting.
The museum of Sarmiento`s house is located in the town of Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This house is situated in Sarmientos river; and is now maintained in its original appearanceis. The tour finished when we came back the port. And started the trip back to Santiago del Estero.
