Time to go to Buenos Aires

We woke up to the sound of thunder. And decided to roll over and go back to sleep. Since it was a rainy dreary day we just took our time and got done packing and then went down to the port to get onto the ferry over to Buenos Aires. We were under the impression that the ferry would be a two-and-a-half-hour trip. Possibly facilitated by fancy hydroplaning technology. However the propeller technology took 3.25 hours and that put us into a time crunch. We had reservations at 8:30 and we were still on the ferry at 7:45. Luckily Leslie asked one of the workers how we could get in position to get off the boat quickly.  The worker arranged it so we could be right by the door when we landed. We got a taxi driver right away and we did a quick drop off of our stuff at the hotel then off to dinner.

We found a beautiful tea infuser at the duty-free shop and bought it!
