La Barra beachAfter getting the complete opposite directions from a guy working at the bus station claiming he can speak so so English, I managed to get a lift from a friendly local to the 1949 hostel - this place rocks! It was basically full of Argentinian holiday makers. We met a couple of Chilean guys, Yerko and Marta who were really cool and basically weith a few others kinda formed a small group, and basically partied every night.
First day Yerko and I went to the beach in the nearby town of La barra which was quite pretty. In the evening I endoulged in their speciality, Chivito, which was basicallt a Uruguayian steak burger. We then got smashed on the beach, thanks to my bottle of Absolut then at 4:00am decided to go clubbing!
The second day we chilled at the beach, then went to this amazing restaurant for dinner. Boucs and I had a portion of ribs each as a starter! We then had the fish special for mains and finished everyone else´s too as they were struggling.
Third day we managed to get a boat to Isla de Lobos which was a cool little island, with a

On the way back I found R$150 - handy for Brazil!
