I rented a 2010 year model mountain bike, as recommended by the bike rental lady, as the 16 km bike ride to Punta Loma needed at least 2010 model bike to cope with the tough conditions on the road. Off I were, towards a new adventure. The sun was already hot (around 28 C) and my skin started to burn - well prepared as I am, I quickly addressed the problem by applying the sun cream, packed specially for occasions such as this one.
The bike ride was tough but at the same time pleasant, giving me time to think and enjoy the sceneries from the Atlantic ocean and the landscape, which to be honest was a bit dusty. Arriving to Punta Loma quickly made my mood rise - in this natural reserve, it was possible to get closer to the sea lions and enjoy their beauty (and hearing their sheep alike sound) even better.
I also got opportunity to interact with the reserve guard and another fellow bike rider, directly from Malaga, Spain. What used to be a great source of shame for me earlier, I nailed this time; I was able to recognize the Spanish accent in a second, and proudly ask: You are from Spain right? So the conversation continued in Spanish and even an episode of drama was served when a cyclist appared, making his exerice in protected area. When the guard pointed that out, we were all stunned by the rude reply from this fellow, saying that he doesn't care it is protected area. MALO!
On the way back, me and me new spanish friend hit the road back together, which brought a couple of new words in my spanish vocabulary. GUAY!
