Cordoba

Arrived in Cordoba after a pretty much lightly slept bus journey, we arrived at our accommodation at 7:30 and told we could checkin after 10, sound says I and we hung out for a while. At 10am he let us checkin and hit the sack...but get this, there was not a sinner in the place! The room was completely empty??? Seriously do staff not have anything in their head...it creates a better user experience if you overlook the "rules" that are written in black and white and just use your head, not only that he offered us breakfast which was sound and then he tried to charge us for it later (it's meant to be free)....needless to say that it wasn't being paid. In fairness the place is a lovely spot, one of the nicest I've been in, but the staff need to cop the fuck on....seriously.

After 2 hours sleep (that had been delayed by 3 hours) we hit the town and in search of some grub, we found a trendy spot called "blow", which had a cracking 3 course meal and drink for about $7! Wow..our waiter Sergio, obviously gay but he told us how much he loved the Irish living in New York, I spotted a shamrock tattoo on his hand and it turned his partner is Irish....sound enough bloke and he's hoping to head to Ireland on his honeymoon.

The town itself is more impressive then Mendoza, the streets are wild...seriously when Argentine People struggle to cross the road, you know there's trouble.

So after abit of city exploring in the heat, we decided to retire to the hostel for the night, tomorrow we head to the house Che Guevara grew up in close to Cordoba.
