Argentina adventure - Day 12 - Back to the big city

Friday was a mostly unremarkable day. We packed up and then had a leisurely breakfast before waiting to go back to the airport at midday. We would have been back in Buenos Aires in time to freshen up and take a walk before dinner at a nice restaurant. Unfortunately for us, our flight was delayed by 3 hours. So we wandered the airport terminal for a while lusting after the semi precious stone curios then settled in for catching up on some reading. 120 pages of George R R Martin later, finally we left.

To complete our poor air travel experience, there was a child to howled for the entire 90 minute flight. I feel sorry for the mother who had to sit on the same bus from the airplane to the arrivals terminal for all the filthy looks she must have got.

The hotel we booked into is all hip and fun and has a high rating on TripAdvisor, which they jealously guard with hip friendly staff and a wide selection of hipster teas and lots and lots of free wifi. As we arrived so late, we decided to ask for the hotel restaurant menu... Which was priced in USD (gulp). But being past half past nine at night, we were in no mood to get our warm clothes on to go out again. So we got the two person beefsteak with egg and sweet red peppers. It was flippen delicious (we were pretty darned starving since it arrived at our door close to 11pm)

For our final full day of holiday, we have a trip across the river to Uruguay planned followed by the much recommended Tango Show!
