Ride to Puerto Iguazu

Walked to the bus station at Retiro today to get bus ticket to Puerto Iguazu. This will be a pretty long bus ride of 18 hours (1380km). There are 2 types of seat, Cama and Semi Cama. Cama is sort of like business class and Semi Cama is consider economy. Cama cost 270 pesos and Semi Cama cost 215 pesos. Since I took the first class seat from Mendoza to Buenos Aires which is pretty comfortable, this time I will try taking the semi cama.

Walked around Calle Florida again, it’s pretty crowded on Saturday

Laura and Alle brought me to Cafe Violatas, famous for pastries. Argentineans have a very sweet tooth and I heard that’s one reason they have many diabetes cases.

Then tried Mate which is the national drink of Argentine. Similar to tea drinking.
