We arrived twice in Buenos Aires, first from Puerto Iguazú, we landed in the afternoon on Aeroparque Internacional, and after a short walk in Puerto Madero and a nice lunch there at Il Gatto, we took a ferry () and left for Colonia del Sacramento. Meaning that we spent a maximum of 5–6 hours in the city for the first visit. But, already then, for the first time, it looked like a place that I’m going to like. But after such a short time, of course, it was hard to judge. Anyhow the first impression, that sunny afternoon, the places that we crossed ( Plaza Roma, Paseo del Bajo, Puerto Madero) looked very friendly and welcoming to me.

Then after spending a week in Uruguay we took a ferry from Montevideo to get back to Buenos Aires again, where we spent 4 days, finally dedicating some time only for this amazing city. Then we arrived in the late evening, it was already dark, and we needed to walk from the port to our Airbnb, that was located very close to the famous Plaza de Mayo.
