Moved to new flat.................SILENCE

Finally I haved moved to the new place, much quieter than the old place. Just a few last items to transfer, clean up and hand over the keys and I am done. Just two blocks from the nearest Subte(Underground) Gral San Martín on the C line. In the day time the Subte is the best way to get round. Through the C line one change is all that may be necessary to most of the Milongas or major shopping districts. I buy 10 journey tickets for $7 pesos, you change lines with out having to click your ticket twice. There are five main lines covering the city A>E. Mondays to Saturdays they start at around 5am on Sundays at around 8am everyday they finish up between 10-10:30pm. There are no timetables but trains are nearly every 4 mins at peak times then upto 10min at quieter times. The buses go all day and night. They are more tricky to work out. Most of the streets in BsAs are one way with the major ones being two way so the buses don't go back the way they came. I have two guides two sort me out with this. The large one has City in 62 maps each map is gridlined into 48 squares. Each square is about 12 blocks {(one block is 100 house/shop numbers) 4+/- min walk)}. On the page opposite the map the bus numbers are laid out in a grid the same as the map so you find where you are and where your going to on the maps then look at the bus numbers and see what number coincides, Bob's your uncle, your on your way. At least that's the theory anyway. Most bus trips cost only 80 cents. I would only recommend using them off peak though. If you thought Irish traffic jams were bad,..... I wouldn't be suprised if there were the same number of cars here, as people in Dublin. Taxi's are easy, good pronuciation or better still have the address written out. The pickup is just $1.28 pesos and fares are very cheap relative to Dublin. I lock both back doors everytime I get in one, thought I must say I had never had a problem.
