Mar Del Plata: Day 4 - Tanning at the Beach One Last Time

Day 3 wasn't a total loss, thanks to Hell's Pizza. We also had a chance to relax in our room—something that's nearly impossible back home in Córdoba City due to our awful neighbors. Still, with our vacation nearing its end, we couldn’t pass up the chance to enjoy the beach and pool one last time.

Fortunately, the weather in Mar del Plata was absolutely perfect on our fourth day. The sky was clear, and a refreshing breeze kept the heat from becoming too much.

All day long, I kept thinking, "Man, I wish this could be my everyday life." The view of the beach, the sky, and even the people felt so refreshing—for both my eyes and my mind. For once, I actually felt safe, which is something I rarely experience back in our home province of Córdoba.

I didn’t want to leave. For a moment, I even seriously considered swimming out into the ocean and never coming back—that’s how much I dreaded returning to Córdoba. But I still had 24 hours left, and I didn’t want to waste them dwelling on the end. So, I did my best to soak in every moment.

After we finished at the beach, we went looking for a place to eat. And no—Antares was definitely not an option. There was no way I was going to wait nearly two hours for food again like I did on Day 2. Luckily, there were plenty of other spots to choose from near the beach.

We ended up at an outdoor restaurant, though I can’t for the life of me remember its name.

Even though they say you shouldn’t get in the water right after eating, we headed straight for the hotel’s private outdoor pool.

The hubs and I spent a few hours relaxing by the pool. Well—he actually got in for a bit, but I decided to stay dry and just enjoy the view.

Afterward, we headed back to the hotel to unwind. We had planned to dine at the hotel restaurant later that night, but the menu didn’t offer many appealing options—and the prices were ridiculously high. So, we took a stroll around town and ended up finding a spot called Torombolo. Sure, burgers and fries might be a bit of a cliché, but they totally hit the spot.

As much fun as this trip had been, my anxiety started creeping in as the night came to a close. We had to leave the next day, and I wasn’t sure I was ready to handle that.
