Hotel Majestic Rosario

... got our drink at a little shop about 6 blocks away. I honestly did believe that the Irish were the best drinkers and would do anything for a beer but believe me that is NOT TRUE!! a good night was had after all. SLAINTE!!<br><br>Nearly 6 weeks into our travels and without having to admit it my hair was starting to go grey, so i decided to check out a few salons but after hearing a few stories from other ...

... it was weird. 3. Sammie and I were walking to the ice cream place. We had stopped to look through the window of a shop, and so were stopped on the sidewalk next to a dumpster (somehow we find ourselves next to the dumpster) 4 cars parallel-parked behind it. We stood in the sidewalk talking, and all of a sudden, this man walked over to the car parked just behind the dumpster, and got in and started the car. We looked over, decided ...

... around BsAs and Rosario! It was getting late, so I joined about 250 other travelers who decided to hunker down on the cold, concrete floor, and spend the night there until the buses started running again. This particular station does not have walls on both ends, enclosing the building, so it was a windy, cold night, there on the floor. I had been told that there would be beds available the following night, so I just consoled myself ...

... was amazing and full of history and culture and its locals have a very strong identity and national pride. But Rosario has to be my favorite place so far in South America! I know that is a bold statement but it is true! I love it! It is better than any city so far. Better than Buenos Aires, Bogota, better than any city in Brazil! But it is hard to compare it to a beach or mountain town! All I know is that I could definitely live here and get swept right up I all its charm and life style!

... and moving about a lot has caught up on us both and we look as bad as we feel, so it'll be a day of rest before getting stuck into the activities tomorrow! Just a quick note to say thanks to Liam for the Portuguese phrase book, it came in very handy lad, thanks! And a belated happy 60th to my Dad....sorry I couldn't be there, but we managed to have a Guinness for you in Rosario...the receipt is in the post (it's a bloody dear drink out here!!!) All the best James

... really lucky to eventually find my hostel. BTW: I just thought of this, an armless chick would be the **** to have as a girlfriend. I mean, she couldn´t stab you, shoot you, punch you, or slap you, she couldn´t flip you off or change the TV channel from a Royals game to Sex in the City, you would never have to hold her hand in public, you wouldn´t have to worry about nail marks on your back and she could never write anything bad about you. My kind of woman. Fin

went to leah´s long lost cousin´s granny´s birthday party. it was cool, it was small they are having a big party on saturday but we wont be there. she was fun and we met aunties and uncles. one girl, danielle, was home on holiday from america, she lives in fort lauderdale. her cousin melisa is hopefully coming to ireland next year. we drank lovely argentinian wine (which they said was actually only the cheap stuff; we are so ripped off in ...

After over 3 months in Rosario, it's come time to leave the city and do some more traveling. This time heading to the Atlantic coast and then down, down, down to Patagonia and maybe even the tip of South America. This is yet another unplanned trip, as in I don't have reservations for hostels, hotels or transportation. It's a crazy way to travel but also very flexible and "almost" fun in a way. Life is a box of chocolates and all ...
