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!

Rien à faire: histoire d'une ville déserte Nothing to do: story of a desert town ---------- Bien, après la galère de Buenos Aires j'avais envie de me changer les idées, alors j'ai pris le bus pour Mar del Plata, petite ville balnéaire sur la côte Atlantique. Le voyage était tout tranquille, même si un tiers du temps dans le bus s'est passé à sortir de Buenos Aires et de ses embouteillages monstres... Arrivé à Mar del Plata j'ai dû prendre un taxi pour ...

... temps de partir, je reste chez cette sympathique famille jusqu au 24 decembre midi et ne veut pas les deranger pour la Noyel.... direction maintenant la fameuse Buenos Aires, ou Buenos ****ing Aires comme disent les gringos.... Je n'ai envoye que cet apres midi mes demandes d'hebergement et m'apprete donc a passer Noel tout seul, presque sur que personne n'aurait le temps de me repondre ou que je derangerai a demander hebergement un 24 au soir.... Mais non!

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 ...

... 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.

... I also managed to pick a dud place to stay - I don´t know how, it looked good on hostelworld´s site. It was a hotel, not a hostel (first mistake) and so didn´t have any meeting areas or Internet points. Also it is currently in construction! My room was really dusty and the builders arrived early enough to shoot any ideas of a lie in down. And as it isn't busy, I had the room to myself which ordinarily would be great, but seeing as the beach wasn´t what ...

... the priest and some other members of the wedding party have no or limited English skills, so most of the instructions had to be repeated in both languages. They also had a difficult time communicating with the musician. He seems to want to turn the event into a mini-concert, but they really only want the minimum in terms of music. After the rehearsal, we were all shipped back to the Sheraton. We had a little rest then ...

... about another 10 mins away but by that stage we couldn't be ***** and just got the bus back. The strong sun here really saps your energy during the early afternoon. Soon we were on the night bus to Puerto Madryn, our longest bus journey yet at 15 hours. Tired after our walk and general travels we were asleep pretty soon and glad of it. As an aside, this place is mad for Mate. Mate is a herbal infusion much ...
