• Moving from apartment to hotel

    February 12 in Argentina ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Even a walk to breakfast was interesting. First was a large painted installation in a small street. Such a fun thing to happen across, in the middle of what seemed nowhere in particular. Next was a dog walking solution we had seen before. This time however the walker had 10 dogs with him, large and small. It was funny watching them as some of the dogs really wanted to check out the tree so tried to stop and resist being made to continue. All behaving themselves though it seemed, maybe you can train dogs to walk like that. I could only wonder about the quantity of xxx he had to pick up and how to manage it with all the dogs.

    Breakfast was American themed including two TVs with two different American news channels broadcasting. It was good but the only coffee was filtered.

    We now have to finish packing and tidying. We can stay as long as we want but it would be good to get there when our room is ready. The hardest part was probably getting all the suitcases downstairs and locking up. The Uber driver was efficient, the app told us he was deaf, it, however did not tell him we had no Spanish. There were no issues and our very spacious room at the hotel was ready.

    The Hilton hotel is in a very nice part of the city as you would expect. We don't go out, we are scheduled to leave for the airport at 5.30am. As usual, Ponant likes all the ducklings together in the one place for the airport transfer so this is included as is dinner and breakfast. Dinner is buffet, not my favourite style of eating, it's ok. Early bed, cases out before we go to bed, alarm set. I'm really tired but it's hard to sleep well when you know you have to be up and out before dawn.
