Argentina coming up!
aloha,
Since I was in Brazil for a month and the next PKRA stop is Argentina, You would say it’s pretty close and easy to get there. Well I can tell you it’s not that easy, al of the flight connections are with 2 stops or more.
Or you have to take the buss to bariloche from Buenos Aires, witch is 19 ours. I left yesterday around 12 from Cumbuco to the airport of Fortaleza. My first flight of 3 ours was to Sau Paulo, and I had to spend the night there.
So I arrived at 8,30 and I didn’t had to go true customs, or even get my bags so straight to the hotel I Booked. This morning I left again to the airport around 9, to catch my flight to Buenos Aires. In Fortaleza I didn’t have to pay for my Board bag, I was just smiling very nicely and the girl was ok with it. Hahah lucky me I thought.
But on Sau Paulo I had to do a re chekin, only with out my bags. There the Girl was telling me I had too much weight and I had to pay for it, so pretty weird but 120 US Dollar is not to bad for a board bag of 34kg.
The flight from Sau Paulo to Buenos Aires was about 2 ours and 45 minutes. Was a little bit of a bumpy ride due some turbulence, and we were about 1 our delayed, but the flying time was 20minute,s shorter. So just 40minute,s of schedule. Despite from paying 120$ everything was going pretty smooth.
When I arrived at Buenos Aires airport, I had to take my bags and do a new chek in again. There was a hugeeee line, and I was thinking not goood! I was stressing out completely and when I arrived at the desk the said , tranquilo the flight is delayed for 45min. Lucky me if not I would never mad it. I am in Bariloche now, it looks like a great place, very cold hahaha.
I was walking in my short throwers and everybody was looking me pretty weird. Most of the people are still using gloves and everything. I only took a 4/3 short leg; witch probably is going to be to cold, since the water is 6 degrees. Hmmm brrrrr
Ciao, Youri
ARGENTINA
Jow,
Today there was a little wind i was pretty stoked to go ride. Took out my 12 but the wind died of a little.
The 4/3 shortleg was pretty cold, so after 20 minutes i go pretty chilly also the wind died of so that was day 1 here in Argentina.
For tomorrow it looks pretty warm and not much wind, so time to realaxe a little.
Here are some pics of Bariloche, will try to get some more shots from Bariloche here.
Cheers,
Youri
Ps: yes thats snow on the mountains!!!
