MONTEVIDEO TO PUNTE DEL ESTE &#8211; DRIZZLING AND WARM - 1.11.09<br><br>The Hostel Palermo had a beautiful marble staircase, the most posh thing about the place, the rest was very, very basic, and we had to carry all our luggage down the stairs to load up the bikes which were stored at the local undercover carpark. <br><br>By 10:30am we were loaded (we would have liked to get away earlier, but the mozzie fiasco left us a bit 'drained') and ...

... are here in late fall. But it's still a beautiful place. When we arrived last Friday, it was Indian Summer and warm. Today, it is Fall and a little cooler, but sunny and gorgeous. To visualize Punta, think a mix of the new beach resorts along Florida's Panhandle (Seaside and Watercolor) with some glamourous ...

... this culinary delight into our daily routine, perched on the broadwalk overlooking the picturesque yatch club, a couple of chivitos and 4 long necks - Heaven! (all for the kingly sum of $10 USD) Surprisingly 4 days passed all too quickly and it was soon time to head back to "BA" for Christmas. We are meeting up with Duncan ´The International Man of Mystery´ Stephens for drinks on Christmas Eve, which should yeild some entertaining antics to read about in the next diary entry!

Punta Del Este in Uraguay could have been kinder to us. We got up shortly after 6am to get a taxi to the ferry station in Buenos Aires to get a ferry to Colonia in Uraguay to get a bus to Montevideo to get another bus to Punta Del Este, all of which took us 7 or 8 hours, lots of lugging our heavy backpacks around (will definitely ditch some stuff soon) and all of that to arrive in the middle of a rain storm. When we arrived at the hostel in Manantiales (another bus journey and a ...

... with likes me and really wants to meet me. I give a little sigh, like I don`t know (I don`t really want to ditch the girl I`m sort of talking to in order to meet some other chick who`s probably not nearly as attractive but at least this guys speaks english so I assume his friend does also). He asks if I want to see a picture of her first and I`m like shoot. He shows me a few pictures of her in his phone and she`s bad, so I`m like hell yes introduce me to ...

... league. We got back from the match and soon after, the fam left to go home. But! Since their flight was late at night they wanted to have a room to use for the day instead of being forced to check out and sit in the lobby from 10am until they left at 8pm. That meant that they had to keep the room overnight, so I got to stay there! Thoroughly exhausted from the week, I ordered room service and fell asleep watching the Sound of Music with Harper. Good thanksgiving all in all. Besos.

... approximately $16 I got what is pictured here. AMAZING! It definitely hit the spot. Tomorrow is my first official day at the clinic, so it will be nice to get a good night's sleep. It just started raining here, which is pretty loud on the roof, but I'm so tired I'm confident I'll have no trouble sleeping. I also move out of the hostel tomorrow to the second residence of my journey...the little house in the outskirts of the city.

... started coming down heavy we were driving through a small town, so we stopped for lunch. After lunch, we were able to ride again without rain gear, in the very light misty rain. We stopped that night in Colon, another resort town, and enjoyed the hot springs. Felt great lying in the hot springs with the rain coming down. On Nov. 27th we crossed from Argentina into Uruguay. All bundled up in our rain ...

... habour, there were also some cool people staying at our hostel and we all headed out together one night. Effectively this was the first place were we got to just chill out and enjoy the beach so it was really relaxing and I was a little bit reluctant to leave however after a 20 hour bus ride we arrived in Florinopolis which proved to be one of my favorite places to date ....
