Off to watch World Cup qualifiers in South America - Wow! Another lifelong ambition fulfilled. Start off in Montevideo, Uruguay - home of the first ever World Cup finals in 1930. Visiting the Estadio Centenario was magic! ...
Rude Mood
... I have met in Latin America compared to my time in Canada and the US. I've just spent a couple of days mooching about Montevideo, Uruguay's capital. I was only there for two nights and I'm now back in BA after a slightly troubled flight over here (I'm not ...
Uruguay
... , they were a big help in picking out destinations to see. I decided not to take a taxi and walk not only because Montevideo is a small town, but because the weather was nice. I made my way down the main street through the plazas and reached ...
The plan to get to Ecuador..
... at a map, it´s ridiculous. But seriously, flights from BA to Ecuador were coming in at $750 versus $550 from Montevideo. Apparently, there´s a two tier pricing policy (I may have mentioned this in my blog describing the entry policy for Iguazu Falls) ...
Montevideo and the beaches
... Colonia on the opposite shore of Rio de la Plata - a comfortable hour-long boat ride - followed by a 3-hour bus ride to Montevideo. We found a hostel in the downtown area on what should have been a busy Friday afternoon, but was eerily deserted save a ...
Mini Argentin- I mean, Uruguay
... breakfast that I am, once again, not accustomed to anymore, and then we had about six hours of free time to wander Montevideo before getting on another bus and to go to Colonia. I along with three other people went to one of the beaches along ...
Sweaty dorm yuk!
I don´t want to go into that stinking dorm so I´m updating this instead. Now on Uruguay time (GMT -2hrs). Will leave first thing in the morning again for Punta Del Diablo on the east coast. Check out the beach front cabaneros we´re gonna try and get ...
Chasing Rays

The capital Montevideo - Uruguay

full day in montevideo
... they share the Mate around clockwise. Its all very sociable but i had never seen it in Peru Chile or Bolivia. However here in Uruguay as we walked along the beachfront it was virtually 100% of the people we saw had their flasks and were drinking out of ...
Time is running out.....
... ; photos are online. Our next stop in Uruguay was only just down the road (in South American terms) and the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo. Being another big city we didn’t plan to spend too long in Montevideo, particularly as each day ate into ...
A short stopover in Uruguay´s capital
... exudes a bit of the colonial character of a city like Buenos Aires, it is a pretty small area worth walking about. A day in Montevideo is about perfect. You can walk the central area, visit some churches and theatres and take a walk down by the coast. ...
Southernmost capital in South America
... - where everything is so cheap that you end up buying so much that it's not really cheap anymore... Nevertheless, we both love Montevideo - it's a bit crumbling round the edges, but it's a beautiful city, and feels far more European than South American. ...
Bussing it Baby
16 hrs on a bus, eh? ¨what was it like?¨, you might ask. well i´ll tell you. first off, it was suppossed to take 14 hrs, but we went slowly, i guess. timeline of the bus is as follows (yes, i kept track...like a live blog): bus ...

Montevideo
Ein weiterer Nachtbus brachte uns von Puerto Iguazu nach Montevideo. Dort verbrachten wir drei Tage. Die Stadt ist relativ klein, verglichen mit anderen suedamerikanischen Staedten und es gibt viele Parks, Straende etc. Ein “Lowlight” war ...
Enfin au chaud!!! Le début d'une grande aventure!
... dificille tellement c'est déprimant! Donc, pour l'instant je compte profiter un peu des plages, du soleil et de l'océan en Uruguay, question de reprendre le rythme Latino et évacuer le stress acumulé durant mon mois en Amérique du Nord!!! À ...
Sunday Expat Meeting February 14th
Had a great time as usual. Always new faces so it's a great time to meet people who all share the common interest of Uruguay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Paxrdw3ywcw ...
The Place With the Coolest Name
... he was mistaking us for Aussies?) and on the cow-milking ranches. I could see why they´d stay here. I really liked Montevideo too. After coming from hustle-bustle B.A., it was relaxed and slower-paced. They really place an emphasis on their ...
Uruguay
So Uruguay is close to BsAs...so I went across by boat and stayed two days...beaches in winter...eh.....A bit like Argentina in many ways, but hey the flag has a sun...for a reason...summer. LOMO is quite delicious here. (part of a cows thigh) It was ...
Preparing for Paraguay
... and most just walked off with nary a wave nor a salutation, how incredibly rude! Oh well, some people's children eh?! Back in Montevideo and, most amusing, the hotel is on the street I had taken a photo of during our first visit. What a delightful place ...

Home Away From Home
Unlike the father you used to know, this one gets up somewhere around 8:00, has toast w/cheese for breakfast--with a packet of freeze dried coffee, says Hasta Luega to his new mommy and walks to school. It is quite a change. We're doing ...
El Principio del Fin
... evening. So it should pay for itself. Wednesday was our last full day on the cruise and also our last port, Montevideo, Uruguay. You know, when I was in second grade or whenever it was that we studied Uruguay (because in the old days ...

Getting a taste of Monty
We heard good things about Montevideo and we heard bad things about Montevideo - but ultimately, Ben and I decided it couldn't hurt to spend 36 hours exploring the capital of Uruguay (a country that I couldn't have picked out on a map a year ago). ...
Too much time spent in McDonalds
Unsurprisingly, most of today was spent in bed. However, I did manage to drag Hannah out of bed at half 2 for some food. I am pretty ashamed to say we spent about 3 hours in McDonalds. After a meal, we decided to try out the McCafe, as this is something ...
Oh what a night!
After a relatively early start, we headed into the old centre of Montevideo, as we failed to do this the previous day. Not a lot to say about it really. It’s not very pretty and, as it was a Saturday, most tourist attractions were closed so we spent ...
