Villa Gesell to Necochea, 145 miles
Yesterday was 95+. Today we awoke to rain and an icy breeze. When its really hot, and we are sweating while we do nothing but hurl down the highway I wish it was cooler. This morning as my visor is open, the rain hitting me in the face soaking my helmet liner and I’m squinting to see the road, my heated grips on high, my fingers iced I wished the sun would come out. What a difference a day makes.
We blew through Mar del Plata opening up the throttle to 8-9000rpms, letting Yoshita relish the 98 octane. I’m not really thrilled with this part of Argentina and am anxious to get on to Patagonia. The beaches are not very pleasing to look at, the ocean is a muddy green, and everywhere is packed with vacationing families driving up even the cheapest hotels prices.
Since we didn’t have far to go today we got into Necochea with plenty of time to find a place to stay and relax a bit. Hotel Lyon is a two star and at $30 is one of the cheapest in town. We dumped our gear and went out for a steak at 2pm. The weather improved and we both agreed this town is the most pleasant we’ve seen on the coast.

Mar del Plata had nothing for us
Short riding days are nice...lots of time to relax
...and enjoy Empenadas
Nicest beach town we saw, Necochea
Empenada on the beach
