Day 20 - Montevideo - Uruguay
... I was going to get so dark. We cycled until Alberto took us to a picnic area along the sea. We started to construct our sandwiches and it was really good so proud of us ladies and I am sure the others got food envy! Alberto bought us two bottles of wine to share so we had a great lunch by the beach. He started to tell about our plans for the rest of our trip and the two long bus journeys doesn't sound that great but the destinations sounds amazing ...

There is also a very nice Mercado del Puerto, the old fish market which has now been done up and in there you can find lots of very good fish restaurants. Of course it's a ...
Montevideo and a small hiccup in Colonia
We landed in Buenos Aires after a pleasant flight from Ushuaia and headed straight to a ferry terminal to board the precise form of transport that one would expect to find at a ferry terminal. This particular watercraft was bound for Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay, country number 3 of our trip.
The 1 hour journey across the Rio de la Plata was quite hair-raising as we once again found ourselves sailing through The Perfect Storm. Well, that might be a slight ...
