Wednesday, January 9th, 2008New year 2007/08 has been a very stressful experience for us. After spending 10 days in Buenos Aires we were eager to move on, but just couldn’t decide where. We wanted to go to Uruguay but it just seemed like the most expensive place in the world.

So we headed to the most expensive part of Argentina on the busiest holiday of the year with no plans and no reservations. Smart people all of us really! We eventually found a place just a couple of miles outside our budget.
After being dirty, smelly travellers for months we each decided to go a little crazy in Pinamar. Entering Argentina I was the perfect little traveller (luggage wise). I had comfortable and sensible items and I packed reasonably light. On leaving Buenos Aires, I had added a few stupid items to my pack.
