Buenos Aires, Argentina

I am not sure whether it was my email or a system reset, but the bike system seems to permit me to remove another bike. Fresh from the thrill of riding in yesterday’s sunshine, I spot a round park at the more southern part of the central city called Centenary park. This is a good ride into new territory with a bike path all the way. The park itself is disappointing, I thought it might be more modern and lush as it is a fairly big park in an area with relatively few. I enjoy the Saturday feel of the city, sun is warm and kids are running around enjoying themselves. I sit for a while before deciding to grab another bike and push on, it is at this point I realise it hasn’t registered the bike again so I am stuck. Granted I could get on a bus, but it is a nice day so I opt to stroll back up towards home via Palermo and the Plaza Serrano market. I discover a few clothes outlets but as I am over the plane limit already, I put everything back on the rails….new clothes options would be nice! Palermo is buzzing with groups chatting on bar terraces or browsing the market wares. There is some great graffiti art in the surrounding streets, and I enjoyed my winding stroll. I spotted a ice cream shop and bought a small cone, could not believe how much the guy managed to balance. (See photo for reference) I felt like a child that was at risk of dropping it, it was awesome, particularly the passion fruit mousse. I will be back for some of the other flavours.
