HI! WE ARE IN RISSARIO NOW WHERE THE HEAT IS UNIMAGINABLE! IT IS ABOUT 35 HERE AND IN JAN IT CAN GET UP TO 50!! YESTERDAY WE WENT TO A MASSIVE TOWER THAT THE ARGENTINIAN FLAG WAS CREATED IN. VERY INTERESTING AND LEARNT LOTS OF THINGS! AFTER WE WENT TO THE BEACH. IT IS THE RIVER BEACH AND THE WATER LOOKS LIKE CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE AND THE BOTTOM IS LIKE A SLIPPERY MUD! YOU COULD ONLY GO UP TO A CERTAIN DEPTH THOUGH. THERE WAS A PUBLIC BEACH THAT WE WENT TO AND THERE WAS ALSO A PRIVATE BEACH THAT YOU HAD TO PAY 8 PAESOS TO GET IN TO. THE PUBLIC BEACH WAS GREAT THOUGH AND WE SWAM LOTS! WE WENT BACK TO THE HOSTEL THEN ME AND MUM WENT SHOPPING SO I COULD GET SOME SUMMER P.JS( THE NIGHTS ARE BOILING, OUTSIDE IT SEEMS TO GET HOTTER AND HOTTER!) GOT SOME COOL ONES WITH KIWI LIKE SHEEP ON THEM! CUTE!
WE GOT HERE BUY BUS FROM PUERTO MADRYN ON A 18 HOUR BUS RIDE!! ARGENTINA IS HUGE! THE BUS´S HERE ARE REALLY COMFY, YOU GET FEED DINNER, BREKKIE AND SNACKS! THE SEATS CAN STRETCH OUT ALMOST HORIZONTAL AND THEY ARE COMFIER THAN A PLANE. IT IS A DOUBLE DECKER BUS SO IT WAS ZOE AND MINE FIRST TIME ON ONE. 15 MINUTES LATER WE HAD TO CATCH A BUS FROM BEANOS AIRES THAT LASTES 4 HOURS TO RISSARIO. ME AND ZOE GOPT TO SIT AT THE TOP LEVEL AT THE VERY FRONT, WE COULD SEE OUT THE FRONT AND SIDE WINDOWS AND I WAS SITTING ON THE DRIVERS HEAD!! HEHEHE!
QUICK NOTE: THERE IS 3 PAESOS TO THE N.Z $
RANDOM FACT: SEA ELEPHANTS CAN DIVE 1500 METRES DEEP AND CAN SWIM 100KM NON-STOP!! WOW!
HAVING A GREAT TIME AND MISSING EVERYONE HEAPS, ADIOS!!!
Hoiski poiski...(yes I made that up :) that is very hot! Mind you it was 34 deg in Morrinsville on Sunday, hottest Novemeber ever. As I have said before the end of term is looming. I finally chose a show for next year and will be keeping you in mind for some part or other!
ReplyDeleteYou have probably heard the sad news about the miners at Pike River. Yesterday was their memorial service and the whole country had a two minute silence at two o'clock. It was very eerie, even the radios were silent.
On a lighter note, due to the extreme heat the puppies, Sam and Max, are having their hair choped off today...they really are like sheep sometimes!!!
Thanks for all your updates. We really enjoy reading them, though as you can see Room 11 are very slack at leaving comments!!! Grrrrrrrrr
When do you leave Argentina?
Wow holly! So lucky you could probably do with the coldest and biggest ice3 cream ever right now lol! I hope your having fun! P.S Luke and Jamie say huge hi's and hope your having fun!
