After the 24 hour bus ride from Rio to Iguassu my Danish friends and I weren't up for taking another hefty bus trip straight to Buenos Aires. With two promising towns on the way, and only losing a little in extra journey fares we decided to take our time and stop off in Santa Fe and Rosario along the way.
SANTA FE
Santa Fe was a charming little town with not much to do and an extremely long siesta break! The crumbling colonial buildings set a beautiful backdrop to the lazy city. We went to a couple of museums which had some interesting local artefacts but nothing to write home about and decided to set off to Rosario after a couple of nights.
ROSARIO
On arrival in Rosario it was definately my favourite city so far. Wide open pedestrian streets and beautiful old buildings were abundant with beautiful people lining the pavements. Shopping was the main past-time which none of us had the money for and so we opted to spend our days sipping coffee and people watching either in the main streets or down by the river. Rosario is situated along a stretch of river and boasts beautiful river beaches where you can kayak and paddle. The water seemed a little too brown for our liking, however sat at a restaurant in the sun, with some sand between our toes and reading our books was a lovely was to pass a sunny afternoon in the 'city'. Rosario got a thumbs up from me.
