Buenos Aires to London:
Homeward bound

Monday 3rd December 2018
 
Twenty seven days after leaving London, it was time for me to say goodbye to Derek and to fly home. Derek still had another two nights to spend in Buenos Aires before going back, but he was going to spend those two nights in central BA.
 
 
It was a slightly longer coach ride from Pilar to Ezeiza International Airport today, than it had been from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery Airport to Pilar yesterday. Nevertheless, it was comfortable and painless and I was soon relaxing in the lounge at the airport.
 
 
Time to relax and enjoy the treats on the long flight back to London!
 
It's difficult to put into words how much I valued this trip. As I write this final paragraph, it is almost four months since I returned and I still feel strongly and passionately about the whole experience as it recedes into a wonderful series of memories. I feel very lucky and grateful that I had the opportunity to go. I wasn't on top form healthwise (and I wasn't alone in that regard, as Derek and many other fellow travellers will confirm!). It also took a few weeks to recover fully after I got back, but I would do it all again tomorrow. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is unfinished business that I would like to finish one day! I am also very grateful to Derek for his company and for being so easy to get along with. I hope he felt that same about me, but only he can answer that one!
