Cattle ranch
The night we stayed in Fray Bentos the clocks went back an hour and there was a huge storm which heralded the beginning of autumn. The next morning was fresh and clear and no less than 10C colder. This precise show of seasonal punctuality made the inside of the car more pleasant and was a perfect introduction to the more rustic side of Uruguay on a cattle estancia.

Horses, cows, gauchos and grill
Uruguay is known for its huge Ranches or as they are called here - Estancias. And the last couple of years some of the estancias have opened their doors to a few tourists.

Day 98
"That tango show was steamy!" chuckled Lorraine, and as she gesticulated towards Gordon, "His eyes were popping out." She cracks me up. We were gathered ready for a city tour of Buenos Aires with a local guide, Sabrina. In three days Jack and I had impressively covered the vast majority of the city on foot, yet we decided that the tour would provide us with background information and history about the stuff we'd seen. We were not only clued up by the end, but we also visited ...
