Back in Buenos Aires

Staying overnight at the Emperador in Buenos Aires this time. The warning on the coach from the airport was “if you want to go out for a walk turn left out of the hotel. Don’t turn right it is too dangerous.” We had no problems checking in, but a couple and another woman who we had met on the cruise did, as they were unable to offer credit cards. The lady had somehow managed to get her card blocked whilst away and the couple only had a debit card, we did offer to assist but fortunately Hurtigruiten were able to negotiate with the hotel to get them their rooms. Restaurant was closed so we had a bar meal and then went out for a brief way in the evening, turning left as advised. Found a fairly exclusive shopping arcade which we walked around, seeing a few people spending money, a contrast to the couple of people we saw scavenging in the bins on the way back to the hotel.
Coach back to the airport for the flight home at 09:15 tomorrow.Read more
