MONTEVIDEO TO PUNTE DEL ESTE &#8211; DRIZZLING AND WARM - 1.11.09<br><br>The Hostel Palermo had a beautiful marble staircase, the most posh thing about the place, the rest was very, very basic, and we had to carry all our luggage down the stairs to load up the bikes which were stored at the local undercover carpark. <br><br>By 10:30am we were loaded (we would have liked to get away earlier, but the mozzie fiasco left us a bit 'drained') and ...

<br><br>Time to move on once again, the campsite was well located for us. It was about a 20 minute stroll into the town to the shops and just five minutes to the beach itself. The last few days have been very cold at night, but we are able to run the electric fire all the time so that is no problem. Everyday it has been bright blue skies and the afternoons are very pleasant outside. We have ...

... so I zipped around the entire point several times and it was my general means of transport.  At Mamboclub there was a singer there who felt that it was not appropriate for us to just sit and enjoy our drinks; we had to get up and dance in front of everyone several times.  There were not very many Americans there, mostly vacationers from Buenos Aires and from Europe.   

... from afar. The game was decent, no goals though, 0-0. The funny thing is after the game is over, they lock the home team spectators in the stadium and all the visiting team spectators are allowed to leave the stadium, giving them about a half an hour to clear out of the streets before they let the home team fans out. They do this to prevent fights, riots, and general chaos. So yea we sat in the stadium for a while afterwords just hanging out ...

... the bigger waves that came along. After all this activity it was clear a doze was required so whilst the Garlys went on a lunch finding exploratory mission (and probably a few laps of the beach) I settled down for a nice beach doze and pretty much stayed that way for the next couple of hours sleeping off last nights excesses (this must account for some of Emma´s interesting sumburn marks- Carly). After a bit more body boarding and a few new pummelling injuries ...

... Punta del Este. The town is only 1000 people or so and most of the inhabitants are either fisherman, artists, or backpackers. Every morning the fisherman would go out with the tide and return in the late afternoon with their catch, usually salmon which they then sold on the docks. There were a number of private cabanas for rent and I settled on a little one for about $15/night. The walls were thin and it was a bit cold, but I was lulled to sleep by the sound of the ...

... returned, it took him a while to get it all sorted. He thought he had two beds, but it turned out there was only one free. It was a single and had a skinnier mattress than all the rest, but if we really wanted to snuggle up and share it, he would only charge us for one person. Hey, great. We went upstairs and settled in for a terrible night's sleep. One person was constantly falling into the crack between bed and wall, the other hanging on for ...

... het moeilijk zou worden om goedkope accomodatie te vinden, hedden we via internet geprobeerd om accomodatie te reserveren. Dat is om onduidelijke redenen niet gelukt. Het plan was daarom om toch maar naar het hotel te gaan dat we op internet gevonden hadden om te kijken of we er alsnog voor de internetprijs in mochten. Voor het geval dat niet zou lukken toch maar wat back-up adressen bij de Touristeninformatie gehaald. Het internethotel zag er wat sjofel uit. Marit-An had er geen ...
