I couldn’t get onto the airport WIFI so I’m paying $10 for today. I couldn’t find where to catch the taxis. I found the buses, but I find bus schedules confusing even when I speak the language. I found Uber, but I don’t have the app downloaded and I couldn’t with my cellular data. Walking wasn’t an option; the pack was too heavy and airports are necessarily nowhere close to town.
I finally found them. The driver didn’t speak English, so I showed him the address. “PERO,” I said, “Tengo treinta y cinco euros. Can I do it for that?” Menos,” he replied. So the taxi ride took 30 of my 35 euros but I didn’t feel I had a choice.
The hostel is not terribly nice but it is cheap, which is what I need. My money showed up on my Schwab card so I don’t have to use my credit card. I can’t check in yet but I got the password to the WIFI and I have a place to sit. If I wasn’t afraid of losing it I’d go to a nearby bodega and get a drink. But I can survive. It’s all good
