Cordoba is a pretty hectic and lively city. I arrived punctual and for almost 1 euro I took a taxi to the hostel. In front of the hostel I met Jo, who left Mendoza almost with me but with an earlier bus and two Dutch girls who were also in the bus with me. Jo an dI went out to discover the city and to eat something for breakfast. The first half of the day was spent visiting the city which I admit offers a lot but purely from an architectonical and historical perspective lacks a deep history compared to its European counterparts. This is however a common ‘issue’ for Argentinean and more in general South American history, due to the lack of deep history as we instead might experience in Europe and in Asia.
I used the afternoon to relax in my room until we all went to a city tour organized by the hostel around 7pm.
I prepared dinner for the four of us, and I really enjoyed to finally cooking again. Eating ravioli and drinking red wine on the rooftop of the hostel in the middle of Cordoba is something as random and as beautiful as many things that are happening to me in this long trip. After dinner we decided to hit the nightlife. We went to what is considered the Cordoba ‘movida’ area first going to few bars and finally to a club nearby. We returned around 4.30am in the morning in a pretty bad shape... The real first night out in such a long time and I loved it. Even if the club wasn’t special and the drinks pretty bad, the idea of finally going out again and for few hours not to think about the next bus to take, it was a great sensation. I am sure in Buenos Aires it will be even better!
