Buenos Airies

Arrived at first main stop -Buenos Aires. Staying at the Hilton which is buy the canal, which used to be part of the old port, but now very modernised and smart, compared to some of the areas we saw on ride from airport, passing some very run down apartment blocks. On the drive the guide told of the high inflation in Argentina, the exchange rate and best to try and pay with credit cards and to be careful when going out as tourists regularly robbed. We did venture out in the afternoon for about an hour, just walking around the canal area and across the bridges. The thermometer said 30s but there was a nice cooling breeze. Early night as we leave at 3 in the morning to go back to the airport for the our next flight taking us south to Ushuaia.Read more
