Bienvendu a Mar Del Plata! arrived at around 4 this morniing after taking a night bus from Buenos Airies. Didnt sleep a wink as the driver was playing immensely annoying 'REGATRON' music, wait 'music', all the way and sooomone was snoring. being a light sleeper i tried to move to the back of the bus as i spied a free seat, but a snoring champion was at the back and id rather have bricks thrown at me than listen to that so just stayed up and read. have got into reading a fair bit now since all our music was stolen, enjoying it!
when we finally rucked up to the bus station i had the immediate sense that we were in a sea side city and felt pretty damn happy! we hopped into a cab and rang on the door bell of the hostel i found on the internet, they said come back at 1pm! so we dumped our main things in the hostel and took our sarongs down to the beach. it gets pretty cool at night her, and the wind was up so we found a beach tent place and slept there for a while, totally relaxed and nakered.
Then one of the most gorgeous sunrise popped up and we sat out on the rocks with crashing waves below us watching in awe. Once the show was over we decided to go wandering and ended up going four beaches along, and finally collapsed on a hilly grassy bank reminiscent of ol'blighty over the beach and fell asleep for a few hours. a little growchy and sunkissed we drearily taxied back to the hostel and settled in.
We spent the rest of the day at the beach, unfortunately unable to surf at the nearest beach as its absolute rammed with holiday makers, beach and sea, but tomorrow we might go to a quieter surf beach up the coast a bit. Keeping our ears open we will hopefully find out about the local area. We cooked up a gorg spag bowl, peppers galore, and chated to some argy guys who've already challenged us to a beach footy match tomorrow! error on the part i think! will be fun. Tonight i need some serious kip, but somehow i doubt that will happen, the lure of 30p litre red wine and hostel games is too strong!!
adios, mat x
