After nearly two weeks in the wind and the “cold” (OK, not as cold as it is for some people on the other side of the world…), I really was in the need of a few relaxing days at the beach before diving back into the European winter.
I managed to link Ushuaia to Mar del Plata – what a contrast! – in less than 12 hours, which is I think quite an achievement. I landed just before one o’clock in the morning in Buenos Aires, just to dash to the bus terminal and take a night bus, very comfortable by the way.
These few days in Mar del Plata were quite nice. I can’t explain why I like to go to the beach. It’s kind of a love-hate relationship.
I don’t like the sand that gets into every place it can possibly get. I don’t like getting sun burns and putting cream on every hour is quite boring. The water can be cold when you get in, and if it’s not the case, it’s often cold when you get out…
However, I do like the beach. But not for too long we’ll say.
Now I am back in Buenos Aires, thinking about how I am going to organise my luggage to go home, without buying an extra bag.
