-
 


Time to move on to Bariloche. Good breakfast of cheese, ham croissant and dulce leche. 

Only takes an hour to pack so I can leave my rucksack here and take wander to


  • book Uruguay Colonia day trip for Monday March 20. 
  • Cash low denomination dollars for 356 pesos. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush 

This is the ceiling  the shopping galería near my hotel 



The sun is out and I thought I got slightly burnt yesterday but we'll see what's it like in the Andes. 


Have to return to Buenos Aires . More English voices on the street today , a cruise ? But also there's a Sunday market at Retiro on the Sunday and maybe I can look into the football game . 


Used my sube card to catch the 33 bus to the aeroparque. Okay 45 peso instead  of 2000 peso taxi 10pence v £6. But I enjoy taking public transport. The crowd on the bus shown below . But also found out that the number 33 goes to la boca . Big plus for m next visit here . 


. 


Outside the aeroparque I took photos of Colombus statue watched the fishermen and my first ice cream .yum. 




Got airport early as I knew that my date of birth was noted one day early on their system . But it was fine . 


Nice clean airport with charging facilities but must remember to get a three flat pin plug . 


Bariloche here I come .

Continuous uphill cycling .  Our accommodat...

Lane must be cold - not many splashing around !  View of San Martín from our final mirador as we were drinking mate .  This was a must have food suggested by my group . It’s called choripán, basically chorizo in a roll . Too much bread for me but great with mustard or with chimichurri.  Warning at the hostel .  Lots of old cars about . It’s quite a charming but lots couldn’t start , battery or spark plugs .  It’s a statue outside a shop I think meant to represent t...
