We sat around for ages in the heat (31 degrees C), then set off, then stopped again. We ended up towing them which was quite stressful. They had to go through the Peaje (tolls) separately as it was impossible tied together. We then had no problems with the 2 tolls on the Autopista to Buenos Aires, but, at the last toll, which was in the city, they said we could not tow on the motorway and they called the police.
Finally, we had to drive separately in the city and we were afraid the Buick might break down in the busy traffic. The hotel was hard to find, especially with so many one-way streets, but we all made it in the end. The Alvear Palace Hotel is excellent. We had a junior suite which was extremely comfortable. The Noors were also staying there.
We had dinner at Las Lilas with the Noors, the Marklands, Colin and Ricardo and Sylvia Fox, who live in the city and are great fun.
Total distance 402 miles.
