Day 2/23 Good morning and thanks for following. I usually post chronologically but am interrupting with a Captain's announcement at 0820. There was a storm over night in Buenos Aires where we are berthed. Power in the city interrupted. Terminal operations affected. Trees down. Containers stack collapsed. No one allowed ashore. Excursions affected.

Dinner was delightful. Sat with four others by a window at the aft so we had to get the blinds adjusted against the sun. Currently sat in the Pinnacle bar with my usual first drink of a cruise..... Pimm's!!! .

We've boarded, watched the Muster video, visited our Muster point and got a couple of cans of water (no plastic bottles on HAL). Unpacked and getting ready for dinner. Verandah cabin on Deck 6. The cabin door isn't magnetic! I bought the birthday package as a surprise. Balloons, flowers and a solitary cupcake! . .

Cruise Day 1 / 23 Good morning and thanks for following! Still at the hotel, all packed and ready to go. A fruit bowl laden with fresh fruit appeared whilst we were at breakfast. I had a mild reaction to the soup I'd been given last night 🤦♀️ Just realised I hadn’t mentioned the soup..... we both ordered tomato soup, mine GF. We were given the wrong bowls... I had a few spoonfuls before we realised. Took a trip to floor 17 to grab pics of the Club Lounge and the view.

Last pics from yesterday. We now go shopping. I have 2 stores to visit. We're in the Florida neighbourhood. Had I the time I could have had a wonderful spree there! Fabulous shops and such a favourable currency exchange! There's a house on the very top of a building. The man who owned the building, an immigrant from Spain, built his home on the roof of his fabulous furniture store! I have a collection from around the world. They didn't have Buenos Aires or Argentina.

I want to visit the Cathedral. Pope Francis was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires for 15 years. Then known as Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio, he used to hold mass at this cathedral before moving to the Vatican in 2013. The cathedral houses the Pope Francis Museum, which holds some of his personal and liturgical objects. . . . .
