Boarded a fabulous ferry in Montevideo for the 2 1/4 hour trip to Buenos Aires. Everyone had to wear fabric disposable protectors over their shoes for the duration - looked silly but keeps the ferry pristine. We had business class seats and were offered a glass of bubbly on embarkation. All very civilised and a little plaque on the ferry showed it was built in Hobart! The only negative for me was a big rip in my suitcase! Said a quick goodbye to the group and finally got a taxi to the Casa Sur Bellini hotel in Palermo. The taxis here are generally pint size and also have gas tanks in the trunk so we did wait longer than most to get the right fit!!!!
Found a laundry just around the corner so had that done and collected in 2 hours then our friend Pablo picked us up at 8pm for dinner. We went to their house first, had a quick drink with he and Maria Julia then had a very enjoyable meal across the street from their house.
The hotel is lovely, a smallish boutique one in one of the nicer areas of Buenos Aires.
