... to make a decent fist of it and go a good few kilometers. It was a lovely day for riding, overcast and warm. We passed some fantastic thatched roofed houses and varying quality of homes, mostly simple homes, until we reached Punte del Este which is literally Eastern Point, and is on the coast. Some of the real estate there is magnificent, especially the golf course. There is much high rise and most of the tall apartment complexes are ...

... of toppings - the strawberries and coconut shavings were perfect complements. I grabbed a shower back at the hostel, and tried having a nap, but it was way too hot in my room. I thought I'd go outside and nap in a hammock, but it was soaked, so I just ended up reading and writing in my journal. The Calgary Cuties were getting ready to go out, but another girl (not sure if she was a guest, or friend of the hostel owners) asked if she ...

Tom and Aug flew out today as their week long vacation has come to an end. Was a bummer to see them go, I wish they had at least another week. *******n real world. We had a pretty good last night. We decided to do an Asado on the roof top of a friend of Augs, Emily. I headed up the cooking with Tom and Balci as assistant chefs. It took way longer than expected due to having coal issues, but in the end the food came out delicious. By the way ...

... nice waitress lady - ' welllll, beer, whisky, champagne'..... us - 'great we'll have them all please' .......and so it continued with us attempting to drink their stocks of champagne and beer dry. Anyway, back on the blackjack tables (champagne in hand) I had much more luck with my neighbour (a nice rich Argentinean high roller) and even more luck with the cards so when Garvo came back (thrilled to have won a dollar on the fruit machines)(Watch the pennies and the ...

... gems' that I spoke of in the last entry, one must also face regrets during travel. My one regret from the South America portion of the adventure was visiting during their winter! It was how the cards fell and how I played it, but I know that I must come back during the summer (Dec-Feb for them). And the place I (and YOU) must visit is Punta del Este. It is essentially THE ...

... discipline Ryan and Cassie made us want to write down her number for parenting advice, should we ever need it. All rested up, on Sunday we left early for the bus station, caught a bus five minutes after arrival, and were off to Buenos Aires, which looked bigger and prettier on arrival this time. We had one more night before we would fly back to Santiago. Where we can, we try not to start our hostel search from scratch, so we dragged it back ...

... So naturally Carlos was going to Punta Del Este, bag or not. In fact, losing his stuff made him ever more determined to make it, no matter the cost. When traveling to PDE from Buenos Aires, one has a number of options - direct by ferry bus combo, direct 14 hour bus, or traveling out of the city, catching a roundabout ferry-bus combo to montevideo, and finally pushing on the last 3 hours by bus to the land of the beautiful women. Tigre is an hour north of BsAs and is a ...

... in Urugauy wel kloppen. We hebben de laatste weken geen kloppende landkaart gezien. De falklandeilanden zijn een groot probleem voor de meeste Argentijnen. Ze denken namelijk dat die bij Argentinie horen. Op elke landkaart in Argentinie staan geen Falklandeilanden maar de Islas Malvinas. Daarbij staat aangegeven dat die bij Argentinie hoeren. Soms hadden we wel eens de neiging om met een stift een verbetering aan te brengen. Overal staat wel een monument van de Islas Malvinas. Zo ...

... aren't great at all. Of course, we just stayed at the peninsula, so that could change on removed beaches such as La Barra and Bikini. By night, we had dinner and drank some wine - along with a couple of american guys - on a restaurant near the docks. After strolling carelessly through the streets - Avenida Gorlero, Punta's main avenue, is also a good place to find out whats happening by night in the peninsula ...
