A whole new country
This is a top pick! ... cousin - confused yet?), who married a German, Charles, and being Jewish they were forced to flee Europe in the 30s, and came to Uruguay, owing to that being the only place prepared to have them at the time. They had Pedro and Anita (who I will be ...
Uruguay - Weirduguay
This is a top pick! Uruguay is weird. Took the high speed ferry first thing in the morning...wow that subway is packed.....ferries to Colonial Uruguay - two speeds, two prices. One hour fast ferry about $80 return, three hour slow ferry about $60. ...
Pesky tourists
This is a top pick! There was a two-day bike ride or a two-hour bus ride between Montevideo and Colonia, from where I could get the boat over the (very very wide) river to Buenos Aires. Which should I choose? Which would you choose? Pablo presented me with every bit of data ...
V is for Victory
This is a top pick! ... and I hate schoolchildren, I'd never become a teacher, to be honest, who would, you'd have to be crazy. My plan for the next day was to cross into Uruguay, stay there the night and then get the bus to Montevideo, the capital, to meet my relative ...
King for a day, ...or for a week actually.
This is a top pick! I'm flying from Buenos Aires and back to Europe in two days, and my last week down here in Latin America I have spent in Punta del Este with a very good friend. We happened to get a very good deal at an ultra fancy (backpacker) spa and casino resort, so ...
3 cities, 4 airports, 1 long day
This is a top pick! ... be another airport.) The flight was fine and Andrew even managed to get some sleep. We touched down in Montevideo, Uruguay at 10am thirty minutes after leaving Argentina, an hour on, and as our bags were checked straight through to Brazil we ...
Lovely little Colonia, Uruguay
This is a top pick! ... to be finished classes though, and am looking forward to starting the fun stuff. Yesterday I took a day trip to Colonia in Uruguay. It was a strange little town, very quaint, quite touristy, but a nice change of pace after the bustle of Buenos Aires. ...
Montevideo - Day 30-31
This is a top pick! Day 30 - 05/01/09 Caught the bus this morning to Montevideo. Was only a short 2 hour journey which cut through lush green agricultural land. When I arrived in the city, had to look around for a hostel, my first choice was fully booked so I a bit ...
and this is the capital??
This is a top pick! ... , we jumped on the next bus out to Montevideo. For a capital city it`s ridiculously small and relaxed! Then again, Uruguay is the second smallest country in this continent. For a country so tiny it is actually reasonably affluent with wealthy coastal ...
Cute little Colonia
This is a top pick! Our last stop in Uruguay, Colonia del Sacramento, is listed by UNESCO as the most complete illustration of colonial architecture in South America. Founded in 1680 by Portuguese settlers from Brazil, it was an important base for smuggling British goods ...
Interesting city...boring post
This is a top pick! ... environments...enough so that it has started to take a lot to get us to turn our heads. Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay are all progressive, highly developed nations. Although there is "local flavor," there is a lot culturally, economically, socially that ...
My new word... PLANLESSLY
This is a top pick! ... as a low-key beach resort. During the month of January, ten thousand vacationers from Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, will be wandering around town and pacing the beach in flip-flops 'til their hearts content. What will ...
Bad timing again!!!
This is a top pick! ... After spending the night in Buenos Aires we caught a ferry across the delta of the River Plate to arrive in Colonia, Uruguay. Colonia is a delightfully cute colonial town that was once a flourishing Spanish (and later Swiss) trading post in the ...
Attack of the Satanic Satsuma
This is a top pick! Although the title of this entry is envocative of 70s B-movie featuring a giant citric monster lumbering over distant hills juicing people with its deadly rind, the story actually begins several weeks ago, with small, cute and harmless caramelitos. These ...
Fake ones will be sniggered at.
This is a top pick! ... about six hours with boat and bus from Buenos Aires, and our last chance for a bit of sun and beaches before Christmas. Uruguay is pretty cheap (although not as cheap as Argentina), so when my brother and I walk around looking for apartments that's up ...
A day in Uruguay
This is a top pick! ... I'd hop over and get some sun for a day or two, but it's been cold and rainy the entire week - I wanted to see Uruguay, but wasn't keen on walking the beach with an umbrella. So I changed my plans, skipped the Uruguay resorts and went to a ...
Farewelling Pablo and a New Travel Partner...

A beautiful day in Colonia
This is a top pick! Got up and attempted our free croissant & coffee breakfast - Lorna succeeded, but I still wasn't feeling good. We decided to walk up to the bus station so I could get some fresh air. We took our time and got there 30mins before our bus was due to leave ...
Sod's law - a textbook case
This is a top pick! ... : (1) this was due to be my last day of cycling anywhere, and (2) My original plan was to have already reached Paysandú, Uruguay, from where I could get a bus to Montevideo. However, as you know, last night, for the first time, my usual perfect timing ...
The Famous Beach
This is a top pick! Now this is more like it....a town with some action! But ouch! You pay for it. Punta del Este is a famous beach resort town that South Americans flock to by the thousands during their summer vacation... which starts in like two ...
Drinking Mate in Uruguay
This is a top pick! ... , I really should have bought a cup of Mate to taste, but after 13 days as a fearless semi-backpacker, I spent my day in Uruguay as a shamelessly lazy semi-backpacker! I found a nice window seat and enjoyed the 3-hour ride to the town of Colonia. FANCY ...
Met Celina for the day and got the shits
This is a top pick! ... to see me covered in my own pooh! It was great to catch up with Celina, who has been travelling as well. She is originally from Uruguay so is in theory back home, although she spent 8 years in England. We had a laugh and joke about our old work days, in ...
UMPA
This is a top pick! ... around the world. They always mixed up the Paraguayan and Uruguayan capital, and hence came up with UMPA. Short for; Uruguay, Montevideo, Paraguay, Asunción. After reading the magazine, I have for some reason always wanted to visit the capitals of these ...
Made it to ¨Youre-A-Gay¨ - Through the back door
This is a top pick! ... Argentina to stamp you out and another from Uruguay to stamp you in. This makes things a lot easier for when you arrive in Uruguay! We boarded the ferry at 8.50am and took a look around. It is very spacious and comfortable and was probably also less ...
Off the Beaten Track of Uruguay
This is a top pick! After five weeks "on the job" at the hostel in Montevideo, I finally moved out with the intent to visit parts of this unknown, little explored country. What I learned is that there are reasons it is seldom visited and barely explored. ...
Colonia
This is a top pick! Alex; It was up early and on a boat to Colonia in Uruguay only an hour from Buenos Aires. After the smoothest boat ride (and catamaran at that) of my life we got to the prettiest town ever. Even the ugly bits were pretty. In the old town all the streets ...
Good Things Come to those Who Wait...
This is a top pick! My mother always said "Good things come to those who wait" and now I know it is ...
