Buquebus

Departing from an old school ferry terminal with a glass of bubbles in hand, Primera Clase aboard the Buquebus high-speed catamaran “Francisco” was a few dozen dollar more than Turista Clase but definitely the better deal, especially considering how tired we were after getting up so early.

Flying above the water in 58 knots with two 22 MW gas-turbines powering Finnish waterjets from Wärtsilä, it felt more like an airplane than a boat, and though bits of the ride were a bit bumpy, it was nothing to talk about. Once ashore in Buenos Aires however, it took quite some time to get our backs and find a Uber but around midnight we made it to our Airbnb in the Palermo district where we are staying for two nights now until it is time to head back to Gothenburg and the boys.
