Taxi to the cruise terminal and then overnight on the Star Princess. So easy to find everything, it is as if we never left. Breakfast with smoked salmon. So very good! Taxi negotiations mmmm 600 pesos after 150 the previous day seemed rather high so we started walking and 700m later found another that had the cost based on time. Arrived at the cycling tour start and paid 200 which included a really good tip. What a great way to see Buenos Aires. We stopped for Mate tea and cakes which is served in one cup and shared around the group from the left. I liked it lots of caffeine and the actual tea is called erva as in grass or weeds. Manufactured and grown in Brazil but the preferred drink of most South Americans. The history of Argentina is harsh with genocide of the people opposing the current regime. A memorial wall of more than 30000 people that died at the hands of their own people. Continued cycling and stopped for a drink and choripao short for chorizo and pap (toasted bread) with loads of chili, eggplant, tomatoes that you add on for taste. Very very good eaten on the side of the road next to the river. Cycled back to the start and walked back to the shop.
