The beach!!! This is not just any quiet beach. It is a good sized city about 400km (250mi) south of Buenos Aires. It is the largest city on the Atlantic costal strip of beaches and fishing towns in Eastern Argentina. There is a busy casino that draws many "porteños"(B.A. residents) for vacations year ...

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!

... dire qu'après une grande promenade en front de mer, je n'avais rien d'autre à y faire et que j'ai repris le bus. ---------- Well, after the mess of Buenos Aires I wanted to change my mind, so I took the bus to go to Mar del Plata, a little seaside resort on the Atlantic coast. The ride's been all nice, even if a third of the time in the bus was spent going out of Buenos Aires and its monstruous traffic jams... Once in Mar del Plata I had to take a ...

... tres copain avec le mec de Carolina, Chocho, qui n'arrete pas de m'expliquer pourquoi les Peugeots sont les voitures les plus cotees en argentine du fait de leur grande fiabilite et faible cout de reparation. Enfin la je resume vu qu'il est mecano et qu'il m'explique ca en termes techniques auxquels je n'arrive decidement pas a preter attention... Enfin, quand on boit des bieres autour de la finale de foot Boca-Tigre, la on se comprend tout de suite ...

5. december: Hurra for Sankt Niklas (aka Sinterklaas, Snieklaas, Sint Niklaas, De Sint osv osv) Og der var vi paa plass i Mar del Plata, en storby med mange lokkende aktiviteter! En slags blanding av Ibiza, Malaga og Molde. Klatring, kiting, surfing og sjoloever paa pirene! Sjoeloevene lukta saa godt at vi nesten kunne kjenne dem inn paa hotellrommet! He he.. Stinki - stinky! Da vi var ...

Don´t even think about coming to a nice and sandy beach when you come to Mar Del Plata before mid January. I would say you can expect a desert full of unbrellas with noon on the beach. But the beach walk is nice and amazing view. Make sure to check out the seals on the port where the wreck ships are. They definitely worth the visit. Also try any of the ...

... friended a couple of other English guys, Chris & Graham, and then another terribly English type arrived on the sofa too, "Binx" (I don´t 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 ...

... much of a hurry, we just stuck around until it got sunny again. There is a big sea lion colony in the port that we walked about 3 hours to see, but we could only bear to watch them for about 5 minutes because they smelled so incredibly horrible. Seriously, I´ve never smelled anything like it. It was mostly males. Some of them were gigantic and really grouchy and baring their huge teeth and barking at one ...

They have a casino here in Mar del Plata. It is high and cavernous, spacious but there is so much emptiness, not filled wall to wall with noisy, boisterous machines jangling, fracturing nerves, no it is sedate and quiet. Strange. There are suited gentlemen, guarding, watching, their silken collars smartly gleaming in a dull light and they have hair to die for ... thick, black (or even grey) it is smart and wavy. The ...
