A day at the beach in La Barra
During the 6-hour bus ride from Colonia de Sacramento, I glanced out of the window from time to time as we passed by farmland and the occasional small town. The landscape was flat and totally unchanging – like Belgium on a sunny day. The land looked extremely fertile, with bright green fields and healthy cows grazing. We passed straight through Montevideo, which seemed quiet for a capital city, and on to Punta del Este. ...
Pouring in Piriapolis
... harbour. Also, we noticed that there were plenty of fish jumping in the water, so it seems that fishing would be great in this town as well. We had a quick lunch and then walked around a bit more, exploring the sights. The weather was definitely limiting us though!

So we went to find ...

So, after breakfast I went outside and opened the front gate in anticipation for the taxi at 8:00 AM. I was a bit nervous leaving only 30 minutes before the bus departure ...
A quick look at Uruguay, Buenos Aires, then home
... the evening air.
Back near the main street, we ran into the Canadian couple we’d talked to at the bus station, at an outdoor chivito restaurant. They have been advised that this is the most authentic chivito place, and they have ordered the “con todo”. We ask to join them, and order the same, turns out to be a hamburger patty with cheese and olives and maybe a bit of ham and a pretty ordinary tomato and lettuce side. It is all ...
