Reunion with a loved one
Day 98, Mon Dec 6 Bus to Buenos Aires
The bus from Puerto Madryn was quite uncomfortable and I was happy to arrive in BA. It is great to be back in Buenos Aires. I felt as if I had returned to an encounter with a loved one!
Had dinner and then went out to meet the crew from Navimag who were also in town. Needless to stay, it was quite late before I got to bed. Did have a killer chocolate cake, though!
Day 99, Tue Dec 7 Buenos Aires
I spent the day wandering aimlessly. Had dinner with my travel mates.
Day 100, Wed Dec 8 Buenos Aires
Walked to Palermo, wandered around the neighbourhood and had lunch again at Krishna, the vegetarian place. Finally a day on my own after a while of travelling with people.
Day 101, Thu Dec 9 Buenos Aires
Arrangements for the next destination (Cordoba): purchase ticket, look up hostels, do some research on things to do.
The group decided to get together for dinner as most of the folks were in Buenos Aires that night. It was quite a festive dinner, only to be interrupted when a car crashed into a motor bike in front of the restaurant. Some of the streets don´t have lights, and there were no stop signs, either. It took 15 minutes before the ambulance arrived to take the biker and passenger away. There might have been broken bones, but both were alive and not badly injured.
Day 102 Fri Dec 10 BA
Rain cut my wandering short. It was a blessing in disguise as I encountered a gem of a bookstore I would have missed otherwise. El Ateneo in Corrientes has to be the most beautiful bookstore I have encountered in my life. A bookstore set in an old theatre draws crowds. I managed to find a chair and read for a bit to enjoy the ambience.
The night found me on the bus to Cordoba. The overnight semi cama was full, but more comfortable than the cama that I took from Puerto Madryn. I slept soundly on the bus, as I looked forward to a few days of being on my own.
