mar del plata

Yet another revisit but worth it as the time myself and Sue were there the weather was appalling. It was a long overnight bus trip from Rosario. This time round I checked into a different hotel. The last time the hotel was dreadful and the granny who owned never shut up talking and fussing about!

Thankfully the weather was much better. Good enough to swim. Or at least bob up and down among the waves. Big, big waves. It was far better in the water. On the shore, biblical swarms of flys roamed. I have never seen anything like it. Most of the sunseekers were unperturbed. I am not sure whether I was more disturbed by the flys or the multitude of eldery men walking about in a speedo's. A sight for sore eyes. Moreover all those uber-brown bodies is quite distressing.

Saw all the attractions again for the benefit of Jacky. The sealions, the shell museum, etc, etc. The few days passed quickly enough. Even managed to fit in a Irish boozer. But time was moving on and we needed to get back to Buenos Aires as Jacky would soon need to get home to Lima.
