Argentina

It’s been a while since I wrote anything now. My apologise for that. And this will only be a short update so everybody will know that everything is alright.

I’m in Argentina now, where I met up (finally) with Amaia in Buenos Aires. We spent two days in a luxury hotel (her birthday gift) before starting the real backpacker life again in a hostel. Buenos Aires is a really nice, and really huge, city. Amaia can give you much more details on her own blog “amaiap.wordpress.com”.

After five days in Buenos Aires we took a 17 hour bus ride to the Iguazu falls in the north of the country. The falls are 3 km long, 70 meters high. Very impressing and very wet.

Two days in Iguazu was enough before heading south again. This time on a 19 hour long bus ride to Rosario, the birthplace of Che Guevara. The city was a big disappointment for the both of us. Che’s home look like nothing more then a local bus stop and my bed in the hostel was infected with bed bugs. So we moved on to the beach resort of Mar del Plata.

Mar del Plata is the most popular holiday destination for people from Buenos Aires and that is easy to understand when you go down to the beach. I’ve never ever, on any trip, seen a beach that is so packed with people. Lonely Planets description of “comically crowded, with people standing packed together, shoulder to shoulder, knee deep in the water” is very much spot on.

  1. We can see the comically in the crowded beach as we just arrived home from the beach of Hurhgada in Egypt by the Red Sea, near the dessert. There was lots of space in the water and as much sand as you ever wanted.
