Bienvenidos a Buenos Aires - Welcome to Buenos Aires

After paying my 575.40 peso reciprocity fee to enter Buenos Aires (I can return for the next 10 years without paying again) and passing through the non-existant Argentian Customs, I walked through a sliding door to find Mariano my driver waiting. He had the Puegeot 407 waiting at the curb with the flashers on and proudly said it's early in the morning for the airport police so he was certain he wouldn't get a ticket while inside waiting for me.



So off we went to the Panamericano Hotel - Buenos Aires. Mariano made the mistake of telling me that traffic would be light on the way to the hotel and it would only take 25 minutes because he drives fast, I told him there was an extra $10USD in it for him if he did it in 20 minutes....needless to say I am out $10USD.

  2. Best view of the city is on top of the PanAmericano Hotel, floor 23. Recently a woman jumped off the 23rd floor and surviving hitting a taxicab windshield!
