Day One Buenos Aires

Buenos Dias! We made it to Buenos Aires although almost weren´t allowed on the plane as we didn´t have return tickets to Australia!, however thanks to trusty credit card and a bit of dodgy business by Qantas staff we got a fully refundable ticket-needless to say we´ve already asked for the refund. The journey here was a long and arduous mission through Kuala Lumpur, Johannesburg and Cape Town to Argentina-total transit time 50 hours! On arriving Jess realised after clearing customs she had left her day pack at the baggage carosel, but Argentinian customs security being what it is (non existent) no one batted an eyelid when she walked straight back into customs and immigration to pick it up. Once at the airport there were a number of options to get into town, us being the tight arses we are, didn´t want to spend 35 pesos-approximately 7 aus dollars to catch a direct shuttle-so spent an hour and a half trying to scrounge exact change for the local bus-one peso 60 cents-40 aus cents-this journey ended up taking an additional two hours but we made it! Anyway, we´re off to check out the city and the nightlife. We´ll have a cerveza for you all. Chao! Darryl and Jess
