Gran Hotel Continental Mar del Plata

En el fin día, nosotros fuimos a la Buenos Aires otra vez. Esta tiempo, nosotros fuimos a la playa, Mar del Plata. La Playa esta a muchos kilometros de largo. Es lo muy famoso y popular. Fuimos bronceado y nadando en el mar. Para almuezo, nosotros fuimos al restaraunte Heladeria Necochea. Era lo muy bueno. Te recomiedo que tu comprar un sandwich o un hamberguesa. Era delicioso! Tiene lo muchos dulces, helado, y chocolate!!! Despues almuerzo, tomemos un taxi al aeropuerto!

... to go to the hostel, and for the first time in my life I took a ride in a Peugeot 504! More than 20 years ago the Argentinian taxi companies started building fleets of those, which are obviously indestructible given the numbers still on the road, with insane mileages... This model's been produced in Argentina until 2000, years after the end of the European production. Anyway it's funny to take a ride in one of those old indestructible cars. :) After ...

... d'artisanat (il faut savoir que n'est pas vraiment argentin celui ou celle qui ne sait pas faire qqch de ses mains, les mecs ont tous de bonnes connaissances en plomberie/electricite/mecanique, les filles savent toutes coudre, tisser, faires des bijoux etc... C'est impressionant!). Plusieur de ses copines sont fans de Brel et Brassens bien que ne comprenant rien aux paroles. Je servirai donc de traducteur, paye en biere et autre mets.... Je me ferrai ...

... on the beach walk which have nice and amazing view while eating. I stayed at Hotel Pergamino for 25 ARS. The reception is the most wonderful woman who gives out a lot of tourist information for free. The rooms are mixed with shared bathroom and definitely worth the stay. I took the overnight bus to Puerto Merydin to watch the penguin colony.

... friended a couple of other English guys, Chris & Graham, and then another terribly English type arrived on the sofa too, "Binx" (I donīt know what his real name is. If I also tell you he went to Bristol uni and plays rugby you get the general impression.) All-round damn good chaps. I think this was the first time I had hung out with an English-only crowd. The hostel telly had colour issues, was totally green - we decided to find a bar to watch ...

... along miles of beach. Since its still off season, its pretty quiet around here. Apparently itīs only really busy in January and February when pretty much the entire population of Buenos Aires jostles for beach-space, but the weather is a bit hit-and-miss the rest of the year so its much quieter. It was sunny and gorgeous when we arrived, then we had a couple slightly cloudy days, but since we arenīt in ...

... In Mendoza, we went to the church of the patron saint of wine. But in Sierra de los Padres, they have the patron saint of the napkin. In the midst of boulders were thousands of napkins people tied on to get their prayers answered, I guess for clean hands. After dinner with Austin and a night of sleep, we took a bus to Bs As for our last few nights before heading home.

... American guests had expected, so by the time the buses from the Sheraton arrived at the beach club. the groom's side of the aisle was packed while the bride's was completely empty. The bride looked lovely. The ceremony was lovely and done entirely in Spanish except the bride said her vows in English. There was a program with a translation so that the non-Spanish speakers could follow along ...

Instead of going to the beach in Uruguay, I decided to go to Mar del Pata with my mate David for the weekend. It started pretty badly when we managed to miss the bus by 5 minutes, and had to wait 8 hours until we could get the next one at 3.15am! What to do when youve got that long to kill? Went to watch a film and grabbed some food and generally got a bit of r&r, although there was the nagging doubt that surely the bus doesnt go at that time of ...
