Rosario,
Argentina
Thursday, December 1, 2005
Our first warning was the American girl who stopped to talk to us in the street when she heard us speaking English. Sheīd been studying in Rosario for the past few months and really loved the place. So we asked her what should we do while we were there. She couldnīt think of a single suggestion. We then went to the tourist office to ask what activities there were to do. The tourist office woman was very nice and told us that everything was very good. But couldnīt tell us what exactly was very good.
After checking out the extremely large Argentine flag and monument we had a look at the large and dirty looking Rio Parana. Then we tried to visit some museums. But they were all closed. We took a taxi out to the beaches along the river and they were all empty. Determined to give Rosario one last chance we went on a city bike tour. Brianīs chain fell off and Mariaīs pedal fell off.
Cutting our losses our next purchase was bus tickets out of there.

Sorry you missed out
Sorry you missed out on some great things in Rosario.... Rosario has been my home now for some three years since I left England to come and live here with my wife. True it is not a holiday destination and also not the home to many expats. The beaches only get busy during the warmer times to the point that it's hard to find a spot. You can also take small boats across the river to private beaches with there own bars. There are also large boats that will take you on river cruises up and down the Parana. There are some great bars/cafes on the river front as well and since Rosario is a port town it's not unusual to see massive grain ships passing by. The river is a dirty brown but that due to silt and not pollution. There are some excellent parks dotted around the city with boating lakes etc and also a planetarium. There are some excellent places to eat including sushi, Chinese, and Thai. There is even 2 Irish bars one of which I love as they have excellent Guinness better than I would expect in a lot of British Pubs. There are the usual cinemas, bowling alleys shopping malls etc as well. Just outside Rosario is a large modern casino and there are hourly busses that will take you there and back. There is much more and after 3 years I am still finding things it sounds like the tourist advisor needs to get out and see the city.
