Hotel Del Bosque Pinamar

... riding from Alaska let us in. I set about packing the bike, which all in all took over an hour by the time I loaded everything on that we had carried from the UK. We left 10.30 for the 250 mile ride. <br><br>So we did successfully navigate our way out of BA, or at the least Sat Nav did. Only one hitch, in one of those tricky exits where you get the choice of 3 roads within 50 metres and have to pick the right one. I didn´t and ended up heading West instead of South ...

... we ended up walking in completely the wrong direction and wasted about half an hour walking in a big circle to end up, yeah you guessed it, right back at the bus terminal!!! Thankfully, in the time it took us to make our little round trip, the tourist information office had opened and we were able to obtain a street map on our second visit to the terminal. Right, map in hand, we headed towards the town centre in the right direction this time. We were not prepared ...

... mais je ne suis pas tres a l aise dans leur appart et ai vite fait le tour de ces bourgades qui, bien que flanquees de superbes plages, n'ont pas trop d'interet. Je pars donc a une centaine de km plus au sud, a Mar del Plata, grosse ville en bord de mer genre Cannes. Pas tres interessante de prime abord, mais la encore, ce sont les gens que je vais rencontrer qui vont faire la difference!

... but we both agreed that it was probably out last foray into the world of intestine cuisine. In any case, we both really liked the town. It was beautiful and laid back and felt more like a traditional honeymoon. I also think it would be a really different experience in-season when all the beachside patios were full of holidayers. It would probably be excellent! Well, that's about it for Argentina for us...off to Uruguay.

We spent a few days at this coastal town, about 5 hours south of Buenos Aires, as a stopping off point to Puerto Madryn. The weather was lovely so we had a couple of very long walks on the beach, along with a few good seafood dinners. As we were off-season the town was quiet but there were enough people there for the weekend to make it feel lively enough. A really attractive place to chill out for a couple of days.

... down the Atlantic coast to Villa Gisell, a popular coastal vacation spot for Argentinians. After we found our hostel, we spent the rest of the afternoon strolling down the beach until the rain hit. We grabbed some cheese and crackers and headed back to our room... one we actually enjoy spending time in. Our room in Buenos Aires was a little funky... hot and humid and right next to the shared bathroom. Since we didn´t want to spend ...

... Hopefully we will get better. The town is built amongst sand dunes some of which we explored on a quad bike. Even Mandy had a go and was a bit of a speed demon. It was nice to have all that space to play in after the hustle and bustle of Bs As. Made us feel like we were in the middle of the desert. Next stop is to Mar Del Plata to try and get a bus to Puerto Madryn.... fingers crossed the penguins are still there...

So, I just got back from a 5 day trip with my aunt, uncle, and 5 cousins (Mikol, Manu, Phillipe, Blaus, Y Jacinta), those could all be spelled wrong. They took me to Pinamar, cause they go every year and rent a house it's on the coast of Argentina where the beach is. I had an awesome time except for the fact that I'm pretty sure my cousin's don't really like me...but that's okay cause they're not really that cool anyways. Yeah so it was awesome in the day we went to the ...

... igjen medforer problemer da Malene (for en sjelden gang) var helt uten baade munn og maele. Stemmen forsvant rett og slett, og det ble med kun hvisking i to dager. Dette igjen medforer at hun ikke kan snakke i telefon, noe som igjen kunne medfort at Ole burde gjort dette. Men, naar ordforraadet begrenser seg til aa snakke kun enkel presens, og stort sett sporre seg fram til steder (donde esta ...) saa blir dette et problem. Dog kan jeg si "no entiendo" (jeg ...

... hours) bus ride from Buenos Aires. A few hours after we left Buenos Aires we hit grey sky and rain. It rained all the way to Pinamar and the whole evening thereafter. The only hostel in the town is located along a sandy road near the beach and is not particularly central. We walked into town in the rain and were soaked by the time we reached the restaurant. Not much to do after we had eaten. The next day was ...
