Where: Colonia (Uruguay), Mar del Plata (Argentina), and San Carlos de Bariloche (Argentina)
The good: Tie between wonderful steak in MdP and the scenery of Bariloche
The bad: The local bus system in Bariloche, especially in comparison to the long distance bus
service available in Argentina
The possibly interesting: I got my first haircut in MdP
Biggest surprise: Bariloche, being in the mountains, is steep! (Crazy, I know.) The hostel I booked was only a couple blocks from downtown but those blocks were up steep hills, combined with my hostel not having an elevator to my 5th floor room, meant that once I came back from sightseeing for the day I became a bit of a homebody and wouldn't leave the hostel again until the next morning.
Lesson learned: This week was hectic with many, many kilometers logged between boats and long distance buses and only a couple days in each city ... there's a lot to see out there, but there is a such thing as trying to do too much and I think I just went over edge this week.
Regrets: not going white-water rafting in Bariloche ... it's supposed to be great there and in retrospect I think my injured arm could have handled it.
