GOL T-Shirt

Rather than spend lots of money on a taxi or coach I decided to take Collectivo number 86 to the airport from Avenida de Mayo.
Two and a half hours later I got to the Ezezia Airport. The fare A$1.50. We were delayed by two bad road accidents and the route wound through some of the poorer parts of Buenos Aires. very very different from Palermo/Recoleta.
The GOL office was closed. Visitors were directed to a Gol sales desk next to their checkin desks. I queued. Despite having used my card twice before in person to purchase GOL tickets their system would not accept any of my cards.
I had to pay in cash. The amount exceed what I can normally take out but by using tree separate networks, Banelco, Cirrus, and Link I got enough. Then I had to queue again to pay.
The famous tight white GOL t-shirts were on display as usual.
I got the Manuel Tienda Leon (A$35) coach back arriving at about 17:30. I like flying GOL but buying their tickets is like pulling teeth.
