After the 15 mile drive back to the City from the whale 🐳 watch tour visited the local gardens and cemetery.

But before I leave the whale 🐳 watch tour want to give a shout out to their staff. They were so helpful and friendly. They have the ultimate in customer service skills. And while I didn’t see a whale learned much of these creatures and enjoyed an amazing tour!

🎩 Hats off to you folks..,

The Gardens

The first public garden was free. It was restful and delightful to see as after my sleepless night of Carnavale tourists needed a respite.

🎉🥳🎈🎊🍾👯🎉🥳🎈🎊🍾👯

I ate my egg salad sandwich which was created from eggs boiled underground in the geyser area. It was the most delicious egg salad sandwich 🥪 I will ever eat. Something about the geothermal activity cooking food. 🍱 WOW and YUM!!!

Following are some garden shots.

From here got lost in my journey to the next garden but came upon an interesting cemetery.

As I continued down the street post cemetery tour found the other garden. This had a 5 euros entry and a waste of time and fee as it was in much disrepair. Hopefully they will begin to use the entry fee for upgrades soon.

So, in the walk returning to the hotel took a circuitous route as this was Carnavale Tuesday or in America Mardi Gras. On this day folks like to hit others with water balloons 🎈 as a gag.

Since I was not in the mood for this due to lack of 💤 found my way back using the alternate route and remained dry.

Stopped at a grocery store and bought enough vino to replenish by 7 bottle wine rack for the year for a measly $23. They have $1.99 varieties and look forward to my year in wine!

See you tomorrow for the final tour.

But, as an aside..

Received a life saving email from my daughter today who is picking me up from the airport and driving me 🏠.

Thank you universe.🌎🌍🌏

While the tooth 🦷 continues to speak to me it is calmer since my DDS visit and prescription.

Till tomorrow and as I write at 1230 am the revelers have quieted.
