Puerto Madero

Günter and Schatzi were on their way back from Uruguay so I went down to Buenos Aires to meet them for dinner.
En route I needed to top up my mobile. The mobile system in Argentina has a few eccentricities one of which is that credit added is valid for a month after which the network cannot be accessed, even to add credit via a prepaid card. Unused credit is not lost but cannot be used until more is added. My month was up so the only way to add credit was to find an over the counter top-up retailer.
I went down to Puerto Madero but the British built swing bridge had malfunctioned in the closed position so no boats could enter or leave Puerto Madero. Günter had diverted into YCA.
Schatzi with ant in Centro Cultural Borges.
We ran a few errands up town before returning to Puerto Madero and dinner at Cabaña Las Lilas.
This was quite the place. They charged like wounded bulls (A$27 for a potato) but the food and service were very very good. Their main business is breeding and raising beef cattle and the restaurant is a showcase for their products.
Not a spot for eating every day but very nice once in a while and certainly the best beef I've had in Argentina
Günter and Schatzi, er, conversing.
