So, this morning I went with Martin to the tax office and got a tax number. Fifteen minutes later we were back outside. Everything is super complicated in Argentina because you...

Yes folks,
it was a fulfilling day.
After breakfast, I went for a little walk. My stay in Santa Teresita was quite short after all. But it was nice to get a whiff of the province.
Replica of the Santa Maria:
By the way, here is my hotel. Rather spartan but clean.
I set off at 9 AM. There was a lot to do.
On the way to Buenos Aires, I drove through a village. Well.
Is this the underclass or normal? I don't know.
I really have problems with my credit card because no one told me that I needed a PIN and assured me that I could withdraw money with my EC card.
It was foolish of me to believe something like that. Just naive.
The solution is PayPal. ;)
I asked in numerous banks about PayPal. Everyone said: we don't have it, we don't want it. It's ridiculous. It would be too easy. (Bitcoin will fix this)
There's a company called 'more'. Okay, searched, found, and after 30 minutes of driving through Buenos Aires finally arrived.
Tough joint:
But it worked. Transferred via PayPal, received cash.
Next point, return the car.
Okay, Apple Maps. Next gas station. No problem.
It was a gas station. ;)
Okay, Apple Maps. Next gas station. No problem.
Didn’t exist.
Okay, Apple Maps. Next gas station. No problem.
Shell. It worked.
Off to Hertz to return the car.
Then took a taxi to the hotel.
Positive surprise:
A 'Junior Suite' in the heart of the city.
Then off to the scene. For a nice meal, it was enough. But I’m pretty beat.
Compared to Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires seems to be much more hectic. The deep relaxation is somehow missing. I’ll take a closer look at it tomorrow.
See you soon!
