From Buenos Aires, we have headed further south along the Atlantic coastline to the large coastal resort town of Mar del Plata. Even though the weather is not great - windy and cool but with mostly clear skies, we have had the advantage of being in town away from the summer holiday makers. Yesterday we walked for many kilometres along the coastal promenade to and from the main port. We had an enjoyable afternoon exploring the busy port with many deep sea and shore based fishing vessels, and a huge number of south american sea lions basking in almost every spare space along the harbour.
