I always have good fun here in Buenos Aires, explaining that Tessin is “muy lejos” (very far) from
Lausanne, i.e. 4 hours by road.
Here, it seems perfectly normal to take the “micro” (bus) for 18 hours each
way to go skiing to Bariloche, or to spend a long week-end at “las Cataratas”.
The main Buenos Aires beach is Mar del Plata, a mere 5 hours away. Ushuaia by
bus might be a bit too far away for a week-end, as it takes approximately 60
hours to get there I was told. Yes, too far.
For most (I did say most) of us in Switzerland, driving more than 2 hours to
go for a week-end seems a waste of time. Even if in 4 or 5 hours, we can get to
wonderful places in the South of France or the North of Italy. Or Tessin 
.
Graubunden is not that far away neither!
Does anyone fancy a minibus ride to Malaga for the Jeune Federal week-end?
Ah, I forgot. We have no-frills airlines.
