061019 - Duck attack in the park in Rosario, ARG

About 6 hours southwest from Parana Rosario is ubicated. Relying on my usual travel plannings - which is nonexisting - I arrived at the hostel I was recommend and had not made a reservation. Which might have been a better idea... since there was no space left. As I found out later, a congress for psychology students was taking place in town and a group of 30 studends from La Plata had crashed the hostel and occupied almost all of the beds. The owner, as he really wanted to make business, offered me to sleep in the office. Unfortunately, as I am just too polite most of the time, I didn't request not to be charged for that. Hey, it's not a regular doorm bed! You can go to sleep, because there's constantly people walking in - and if you put the matress down the you couldn't squeeze a piece of paper in. And above all it was above the bar. So, music playing till three in the morning - and then starting again at breakfast time: 7:30am! But all of that I found out later: ;o( Didn't matter. Not even, that I had to move to a diffenent sleeping spot every night of the 5 days I stayed there! Guess, that's what travelling is all about: being flexible... But I had a good stay there. Nice, carying folks. Cool atmosphere. And a very hospitable owner.
First thing in down I did was checking out the tourist highlights.... NO!! I am kidding! First thing I did was asking around for a sports bar! WHY?? Chelsea - Barca was playing that day! A must see for all football fans. Unfortunatly they didn't nearly reach the level of play of a season ago when they met in the elimination round. Sad.
But afterwards I went to the park... and got attack by two ducks. Just wanted to make a nice picture of their cute litte baby. But two of the bunch came chasing after me as I had to make sure not to be bitten by any of them. ;o)
Well, the rest of my stay I filled with rock climbing and kayaking.
