Tronador Mar del Plata

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!

... the town itself was almost desert. The season was over, more than half of the stores were closed, nobody in the streets, it was really strange. And there's nothing to do outside of the beach, which is covered with little sunshades for which you had to pay, so nothing very interesting. I also spent half a day looking for postcards without finding any. Let's just say that after a long walk on the waterfront I had nothing else to do, so I took the bus again.

... Super experience donc et super rencontres encore une fois, meme si je commence a sentir les limites du CouchSurfing, puisque tu es finalement toujours contraint de suivre le rythme et les envies de la personne qui t'accueille.... Enfin, je trouve tout de meme ca beaucoup plus enrichissant que de rester avec toujours les meme british des Hostels sur le Gringo Trail (ou chemin type que suivent tous les gringos au travers de l'amerique du sud). Il ...

... 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!

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 ...

... game in. Mardel has a famed drinking area around Calle Alem, over 40 bars the hostel flier boasts. Maybe because it wasn´t peak season, maybe because Argentina doesn´t seem to go out until 10pm, whatever the reason - Alem was closed. After Googling "Irish pub mar del plata" we found a bar the next block up. Didn´t look open but after pressing our faces to the window we saw it did have four locals in it. So the five of us joined them to watch what ...

... lion" make sense for the first time. In any case, we just spent our days at the beach and our evenings eating paella, steaks, and roast pig for our dinners. We found another branch of a local micro-brewery pub that we liked in Mendoza so we popped in there for a few drinks. It was always pleasantly busy, which was nice since the rest of the town was a bit deserted! Heading up the coast to Villa Gesell next!

We got in touch with a friend of Sherry´s, many of you might know him, Austin. He lives in Mar del Plata and since we were passing through, we stayed a night there. Mar del Plata is the summer home to Porteños (people from Buenos Aires). It is apparently, literally packed butt cheek to butt cheek on the beach during the summer. However, thanks to the earth´s axis being ...

... just yet :). On Wednesday one of our teachers asked us would we mind speaking to his class of teenage pupils because they love speaking to native english speakers and have never met anyone Irish. We said no problem and went into the class once they were all seated and they had to guess where we were from, once they guessed right we showed them our passports and they asked us loads of questions. They couldn't believe that myself and Mairead have been going ...

... Bikini bottoms here are incredibly tiny! That evening was a far better night. Started with a three course meal, bottle of wine, and two pints for less than 6 quid for the two of us. Then a few beers at the Robin Hood pub and a taxi ride to Chocolate club at 1.30am. Loads of people were hanging around, but no one seemd to enter, we thought balls to that, so tried to get in. It wasn´t yet open. We shamefully retreated. Then all of a ...
