... leave at 9:30 PM. We were ready to leave at 5:00 PM. Desperately, we tried to get on an earlier boat, but there was no room. The next 4 hours were spent trying to find a decent restaurant, but to no avail. We arrived back in Buenos Aires tired, hungry, bored and bummed out. Obviously, you can’t win them all.
