A-Wander in Buenos Aires

It wasn’t quite noon when we arrived at the Bulnes Eco Suites for our overnight in Buenos Aires. Our room, wasn’t available for check-in. So we dropped off our bags for safe-keeping and went out for a wander.

Our plan was to have lunch at a tapas restaurant and bar recommended to us by our friend, Julio. What that essentially meant was that we followed Google’s directions for the next two hours or so, meandering here and there on our way there. Since we’d spent time in Buenos Aires on previous trips, we were OK with what was an otherwise aimless stroll along mostly residential streets … though we did eventually get to some of the city’s major landmarks.

The good news? We got nearly 13,000 steps under our belt. The bad news? Even though the website said that the tapateria opened at 1:00p, it was still locked up tight when we got there around 3:00p. No matter. We found another restaurant not too far away. We got as far as ordering our meal and were sipping our beverages when the power went off! The waitress came by to apologize and tell us that they could only serve the salad Mui had ordered. Oh well … at least the salad was good … and we did get some tapas to go later to eat-in after we checked into our studio suite at Bulnes.

Early day tomorrow!もっと詳しく
