Bs As and Uruguay 14 to 24 May Sunday 14 May. Collected at Buenos Aires airport (EZE) by the driver who had driven us out there on Thursday. Back to the hostel in about 35 minutes as there's not much traffic. Retrieve our stored luggage and get to our room straight away, even though we're earlier than check in time.

We have almost no Argentinian cash, and Western Union (with a stonkingly amazing exchange rate compared to getting money from an ATM) offices are shut on Sundays. The Gibraltar pub, where we had dinner previously, takes Visa cards so we go there for a meal. One of my cards (Starling) plays up, but I'm able to pay with another one. It is odd being in a British pub-type environment and waiting for table service for our drinks instead of ordering and picking up drinks from the bar. I have their delicious Thai Green curry which makes my taste buds very happy. John has steak ...
