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... above the beach outside of town are owned by wealthy Argentinians. I suppose its the same as M*******s flooding Maine each summer or New Yorkers invading the Hamptons. <br><br>The popularity of Punta del Este stems from it being the eastern point of the Mar de Plata, and the closest town to Montevideo and Buenos Aires with direct exposure to the Atlantic Ocean and its clearer water. Over the past this drew the ...
Punta del Este, Uruguay darrenkatie... Atlantic, so one side is protected from the strength of the ocean, and the other side faces the full onslaught of the waves, this side is called the "playa brava", here the waves are extremly strong therefore it is a mecca for surfers. In fact the 3 owners of the first hostel we stayed at were all surfers, who spend half of the year in Punta del Este and the other half in the Basque Country in Spain, where they have another hostel. The ...
Punta del Este, Uruguay jon-daniella... of similar standard. I was wrong. We avoided being in that hideous place and stayed out all as much as we could. Ended up having to stay for 2 nights but legged it the following morning. There was nothing nice about that place, kitchen polluted with flies and there were creepies in my bed - only mine so i must smell edible. Granted we were in the country and not in the town but we changed hostel to guesthouse in PdE suburb. And it was the best thing we ever did ...
Punta del Este, Uruguay selinam... all sit down on the beach and Jane and I pass the bottle between each other as if we are drinking a 40 of OE. Sip, sip, give, you ****ing up the rotation. And since one of my prementioned character flaws is having to be the center of attention at times I have to do all my little tricks, sans card magic, and the hit is my skill of barking like a little dog. Jane goes to get another beer after about 20 minutes and I see Matis and he`s been at Punta del ...
Piriapolis, Uruguay merkdog4... early (well really about two months too early because things don't get going until well into January). The season didn't officially start until the beginning of December and like any good summer town, many of its popular restaurants, stores, and even hotels don't open or fill up until much later in the month. We ran into a few glitches with that, but still enjoyed ourselves thoroughly since 1, we'd never been there before, and 2, its not like we went there to ...
Punta del Este, Uruguay alycat09... connection and there is a pretty good connection here. I think the next few towns will be really small and probably have a ****** internet connection. There are two other small beach towns I want to hit up in Uruguay before crossing into Brazil, but its cold and I am interested in picking up my pace a bit, so I might just do one. I will see, since its cold, it doesn't really pay to go to these beach towns. Kind of a bummer actually.
Punta del Este, Uruguay chuckonearth... a great environment in which I wrote this STELLAR blog update. Again, American culture pervades. Which brings me nicely to my next point. There aren't too many Americans in South America, but when there are Americans, they stick out, especially if they are over the age of 35. One table of Americans in PDE complained loudly about the service and couldn't understand why the Spanish speaking waiter didn't comprehend their loud English complaints. One woman had a buttery ...
Punta Del Este, Uruguay eadamson... afternoon nap. As we were getting ready, I started to hum the famous Prince song (written when he was still known as Prince) about partying in the new millenium. Kia reminded me that it had probably been closer to 20 years since I had kept going until 4am. I adjusted the lyrics to '1989' and continued my melodic preparations undaunted by my advanced chronology. We had a wonderful time. We had an elegant dinner, consumed some strange libations and danced until ...
