Tronador Mar del Plata

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

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!

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... staar i en stor roed ring paa skiltene. Foelge trafikken er taktikken, og tryggest. Buss (bombe) til Puerto Madryn. Primaert for aa se hvaler - men det er litt paa hell av sesongen som slutter 15 des. Hvaler har visst en stram tidsplan, de har noe annet aa gjoere fra den 15., saa da svoemmer de bort alle sammen!.. Alle maa krysse fingre for at vi skal faa se hvaler! Takk! Bueno y gracias!

... 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.

... of what was, frankly, a dull game. Scotland weren´t going to win, a 0-1 score to Argentina was respectable enough, but it would have been more fun to see some more goals, even if it was in Scotland´s net. This was Maradona´s first game as manager of the Argentinian team, you´d think they´d liven it up a bit. Och well. We then went on for a steak dinner, some drinks in a bar. The chaps went on to a club, but as they don´t really get going until 2am, I ...

... of people who had come down from the States for the wedding. I think that Boo and S and I may have had the most ambitious itinerary of anyone attending, but I guess that an incentive to go to Argentina over the winter holiday break was just too good for most people to pass up. After cocktails, we went to a ballroom at the top of the Sheraton for dinner. It was lovely and they had put a ton of work into ...

... Manchester and would not stop with the Scouser jokes, it got boring after I while. I was so close to knocking him out!!!!!! Spent the next two days at the beach and watched a rugby 7s tournament and a beauty contest. Glad to be leaving for Buenos Aries Mar del Plata is just to busy and touristy. Only a 5 hour journey to BA........
