After a long trip over Madrid (where we had some three or more hours of waiting time) we arrived at about noon in Buenos Aires (delayed). Luckily we had emergency exit seats (row 37 in an Airbus 340) and were able to stretch our long legs. I could sleep almost the whole trip – my Bose noise canceling headset even filtered the baby cries out (it seemed that they segregated all women with babies in the rows behind us).
At the airport the Sixt guy was waiting for us. The handover was done right at the information stand - very simple. Compared to Hertz this car rental company is trying harder. He offered us to drive us into Capital Federal (for some reason there is an important difference between Buenos Aires and the federal capital) as the Sixt office was close to our hotel.
Our hotel was at Maipú - as we found out later one parallel to Florida, the main shopping strip of town. If you were to go the the Capital federal in winder (that is our sommer) Florida is the street to buy leather jackets: I don't know why but there are trying to sell us jackets at every corner and its about 25°C already (cool for the season).
After check-in we have time for a first stroll through the city. Remember the Falklands war some 20 years ago? It is still a major thing as there are monuments in Bs. As. as in many Southern towns remembering the fact that the "Malvinas son argentinas"...
