Time out at the Hilton Buenos Aires


I am on the 7th floor in the Hilton Buenos Aires, which is in the trendy Puerto Madero part of town.  I really only decided to stay here because I am a Hilton Honors member, and that tends to give you a couple of perks, like free WiFi and a high floor in the hotel.  I am on the same floor as the gym, spa and outdoor heated pool.
OK, to be honest, while everything is very comfortable, this hotel is looking a little weary, even to the extent of missing tiles in the pool! However, you get a great view across the river and across to the Atlantic Ocean, so there are balances.
The bathroom is spacious, but again a bit dated.  A bit more on the geological aspect of the bathroom later on!
Breakfast is pretty special, and I haven't really felt the need for any other big meals, just snacks.  A good early dose of Cafe con leche, scrambled eggs, bacon, and one teeny tiny pastry, and that has been lasting me pretty much all day.
I have only managed to get one session of pool therapy for my knee here, and have not yet ventured out due to sore knee, but today is my last chance before I head down to Ushuaia tomorrow, so plan to wander about  some later this afternoon and early evening.
It has been a good chill out for me, and just what I needed to kick start the adventure.
