We slept on top of the sheets with the window open and the air conditioning doing nothing really except providing some great white noise. We both slept wonderfully!
We started our usual walking and chose a nice looking restaurant for brunch. After being assured they accepted Mastercard we had a nice meal. It turns out our Mastercards did not work in their machine so we paid with our very limited supply of Argentinian pesos (we couldn't get any pesos at home due to a currency crises here but had got a cash advance from Mastercard yesterday).
After having no luck using my debit card in one bank to get cash from our chequing account we went to HSBC and got an employee to help us. We were able to take out the maximum amount which is 3000 pesos (27 pesos to the dollar). On top of that we were dinged almost 11% commissions etc. OUCH. We were told that this is the norm here.
We walked back to the Theatre Colon and purchased tickets with Mastercard for a tour in English tomorrow at 11 AM.
It is 2 PM and I decided to write this now as we are going to the ship soon and I don't know when I can upload again.
My cell phone shows that we walked 8.3 kilometres this morning (12654 steps)
