Daughter and I will be in BA Dec. 26 - Jan. 3. We do not care about New Years Eve festivities, but do want to be able to do somthing on New Years Day. I expect that almost everything will be closed, and there may be other days during this period when stores/museums will be closed. Any advice on closings during this period and things to do on New Years Day would be appreciated.

The best advice that I have for you is to dress for very hot and humid weather! It is comparable to mid-August weather here in the USA. No rain and very hot. There should be a few resturaunts open, specifically in the center of town where the hotels/tourists are.

It Might be a good idea to take the ferry to Colonia, Uruguay. This town really caters to tourists, so restaurants and stores should be open.Perhaps someone who has been there on a recent New Years day will write about their experience?
