mar del plata
decided to stop off in mar del plata for some beach and sun! the beach is super packed and if you thought barceloneta or waikiki are crowded, this makes it seem like nothing. people trying to sunbathe sardines style. not nice at all.
i booked the cheapest hostel ($9) but completely forgot to read the reviews. oops. so the directions said to catch a mini bus from the main bus terminal and i should get off at ‘playa de los lobos’. well, since the minibus stop was a walk away and i couldn’t be bothered, i hired a cab. big mistake. the driver had no idea where it was and kept pointing along the coast saying it is somewhere that way. well, turns out the hostel like like 20km outside the city…a 60 peso ride. a rip off considering i just paid 100 from bs as for 6 hours!
once i got over my stupidity, i looked around and loved the hostel. there is absolutely nothing around but big fields and houses divided by dirt roads. and on the other side? the secluded and almost private coast! this means beach for the day, chill for the night. can’t wait!
