Avenida Pedragosa Sierra y San Ciro Punta del Este, Uruguay, 20100, 598-42-499999
Day 1 - Thursday March 27th So much anticipation, so little reward. The early start (6am) and bus journey were fine, we arrived into Punta full of excitement after following the coast road for several miles and seeing unending sandy bliss. Things only started going downhill when we got in a cab. You can tell we've been away a while, 2.50 for a 3 minute ride we thought extortionate, should have been about 15p!! Our hotel looked fab from the outside - on reflection, perhaps that's where we shou...

Punta del Este, Maldonado Department, Uruguay rayner... new. We ate lunch on the beach. Beautiful, red, ripe and juicy tomato sandwiches. Real tomatoes, with flavor and soft skins, not genetically modified to travel well. <br><br>We pulled over to have a photo session at the 'fingers in the sand' monument, at the beach at Punte Del Este and could hardly get away from all the people who were interested in our trip. We had so many photos taken of us, on cameras and on mobile phones, it was getting ...
Punta del Este, Maldonado Department, Uruguay jennykelly... driven just over 100 kms to get to the town of Maldando, which again has a large campsite in the area. The tourist office was closed when we arrived, but we managed to get directions to the campsite. Once again it is a huge place, although this time about 2 kms from the beach and about 5 to town. <br><br>2nd - Another very quiet and relaxed day.<br><br>Pictures are for the house in next entry.
Maldonado, Maldonado Department, Uruguay mikeandmary... coffee table is much the fashion in Punta!) <br><br>Today, mid-week during the off-season, with neither celebrities nor paparazzi to distract us, we visited a couple of real estate offices to check on the cost of land and houses. We were told that beach-front lots are priced at $80 per square foot - that's $3.5 million U.S. dollars per acre. Obviously, this is not the spot for a low-cost retirement.
Barra de Maldonado, Maldonado Department, Uruguay riversbeyond... alot of highrise apartments and although it has very nice coffee strips, beach, designer shops to browse (built for the likes of Shakira, who was here whilst my friend was here) and an awesome port area reminiscent of the Port Douglas port area, most people do not actually stay in Punta itself. Actually, the entire Punta region is linked minibuses that go every 10-15 mins, which means easy access to downtown Punta and any beach you want! (it is only about 15 ...
Punta del Este, Uruguay tillysouthWe made it over to the Uruguayan beach resort. It was a beach town, like many other we had been too. We kept searching for the glitz and glam we had heard so much about. We didn't find it, I guess we're off season. We walked and walked and walked, and decided to cut out trip short. We left a day early for the small town of Colonia.
Punta del Este, Uruguay charliekelliWe only spend one night here, as we had heard it was quite an expensive place to stay, well for $20 US for a dorm bed I suppose it was! That was also 10km outside of town as well, which had a goldcoast kind of feel to it and quite touristy, but mainly for the rice south american tourists from what we could see! 10 km outside of town sounds back, but 400m from the beach definitely wasnt and since sleeping in is a must here, us getting ...
Punta del Este, Uruguay garth_travel... or twenty-five cents, but you have no coins. How's that work again? Twenty minutes later, I found a greengrocer who was willing to take the deal I'd offered everyone... 4 pesos in coins for a 5 peso bill. Seems reasonable to me. I returned to the bus stop to find a worried Cierra, who thought I'd been hit by a bus. "That's the angriest I've been in a long time. How many buses have gone by?" "None." she replied, "But here comes one now." We ...
Maldonado, Uruguay tabonyhl... shirts zijn ernstig gekrompen, vaal en verkleurd. In vergelijking met de pumps van de dames heeft Marit-An toch een paar machtig lompe schoenen aan. Het is lekker om op andere travelsites te lezen dat andere reizigers zich hier net zo als wij voelden. Punta del Este loopt in een punt uit in zee. Staan we voor ons hotel dan kunnen we links, rechts en voor ons de zee zien liggen! We hebben de afgelopen dagen lekkere lange strandwandelingen gemaakt. Na de uitlaatgassen van Rosario ...
