We've used Ricardo for over 20 years. On the rare occasions he's been unable to collect or take us he gets someone reliable he knows. Never been let down yet.
Been years since we've flown so God knows what he charges now. His fares have always been reasonable though. 
Looks as if the BA flight's going to arrive on time.
Yeah I'm following it on FlightRadar24!
ETA 11:28
Welcome to Argentina! I hope you brought a sunhat.
The change of climate must be terrible! A friend just came back from PA and she went from -16 to +37. Ouch!
yes we made up for lost time, so for my return on the BA app its saying Eze terminal P, but online its saying there is only A B C to choose from, but most international flights depart from A? So which terminal is it?
And is it best just to hail a taxi to the airport? We have been using mostly ubers but I doubt they'd fit two large suitcases in their cars?
How was the 5-0 thrashing on Sunday @TravelAddict ?
BA leaves from terminal A, from what I recall.

I am eager to know your impressions of Buenos Aires and its prices. A friend is coming from the States in April and she is concerned about prices. She was checking Don Julio’s prices and she says it is more expensive than in the US. She is from Seattle, WA.
I told her that it can only go downward from there. I think it may be the most expensive parrilla of Buenos Aires. Do you reckon?
The whole event was fantastic. We was looked after from start to finish, we met up in a bar on the street of misiones on the corner of la pampa, big bottles of beer and a choripan for the group then we made our way up the stadium
We had seats behind the goal, the atmosphere was fantastic, i'm a season ticket holder at WBA so was great to see how the atmosphere is without all the red tape regulations. River was dominate throughout, we then walked through to china town after the match finished where we got ubers. £202 it cost for two, thought that was very reasonable..
Regarding steak prices, i'm finding it very similar to back home, although Hierro was cheaper than I thought. Havent been to don julio yet thats in a few days.
Cant believe how cheap ubers/taxis are. Ive paid £3 a pint, most expensive was just under £5 at temple bar hollywood but they have happy hour.
Ive been here since saturday and have only had to exchange $200 (each), minus the credit card bill. We will be exchanging today another $100. I do think money goes far here.
That sounds like it was a great day out. I've only been in the stadium for the tour but one of my mates is a season ticket holder and his kids play for the junior team so I look forward to attending a match later this season.
You're scaring me a bit with the prices. I appreciate the restaurants you're going to are top end but even those beer prices are way more than they were May last year. I don't think I ever paid more than £2 or even less in Temple Bar for a pint. Generally I would pay about £1.50 a pint overall between February to May 2023.
yes temple bar is expensive compared to others. I bought a pint of patagonia on the arcos shopping centre for 4500 pesos.
Thankfully a member on here suggested more dollars to exchange, as the prices have definately risen.
I find breakfast quite affordable? 6k for a latte, orange juice and scrambled eggs with bacon and toast i paid the other day.
I was looking at the Instagram of a cafè in Colegiales where I go sometimes. In November 2022 an espresso was $170, now it is $1700. 😨

Similar story here with most things. However since I started converting prices using the Blue rate there's not actually that much difference. I got a six pack of beer yesterday from La Anonima which worked out around 50p a can. More or less what I was always paying, similar story with cigarettes.
Tourists have very little to complain about to be honest.
How's your trip moving along @TravelAddict ? What the plan for dinner tonight?
Perhaps tell us what you have liked in particular and something that has surprised you about the country/city.
Happy travels.
hi
We went to san antonio de areca yesterday for the gaucho ranch experience. It was a fantastic day and it couldnt of gone any better, i had atleast 8 pieces of meat so steak is off the menu tonight.
Today we have spent the afternoon down by the river at puerto madero, i think we will just be having bar food tonight.
Ubers are surprising me, no seatbelts on most of the uberXs, and some of the cars are banged up proper haha.
its worth the money, we stopped off in the town before heading to the ranch for half hour aswell, and we rode the horses aswell. Yes was very similar, i also thought it was similar to the quayside up in newcastle
also the price to go on the ship was 200 pesos. 19p!
Have you ever been to the Albert Dock in LIverpool? The dock buildings are pretty much identical.
I noticed the similarity straight away.
