We're almost halfway to Ushuaia
... a mess with broken or missing paving, gaping holes to trip over and litter all over. But the Subte (metro) works well and for 2.50 Pesos you can go all over the show.

Quite funny because the Europeans are like "WOW, amazing, look at that".. and we like “yeah, its an animal, we get similar ones in SA, whatever”....
