Buenos Aires

Well, we have arrived in Buenos Aires, have just checked into the hotel at 11.30pm.  If I had someone to Tango with I reckon I could do it as the flight has been so comfortable and easy and I had 6 hours sleep during the night.  Melbourne to Santiago is a dream flight, just 11-12 hours and after a nice dinner and a couple of Chilean reds and then a sleep it was time for breakfast the same day!!! Except that in Chile it was already dinner time.  A fairly short turnaround before the flight on to BA.  Expected to change some money at the airport but alas the banks had closed so after a fair bit of negotiating one driver opted to take us with US cash.  Did I hear someone say Uber? Uber? What is Uber?????  Anyway, I did broach the subject  on our hair raising  trip to the hotel in a Mr Bean size car with all our luggage stuffed in and we decided we not only didn’t have the app but we didn’t have any wifi either. Pity we can’t get any coverage overseas these days.   
So, the hotel is just as nice and comfortable as I remember from the last visit. It is still around 29C so will be hot again tomorrow I expect.
