San Martin Punta del Este

... driven just over 100 kms to get to the town of Maldando, which again has a large campsite in the area. The tourist office was closed when we arrived, but we managed to get directions to the campsite. Once again it is a huge place, although this time about 2 kms from the beach and about 5 to town.

2nd - Another very quiet and relaxed day.

Pictures are for the house in next entry.

We had returned to Piriapolis because of the glorious views of the mountains and the beaches, and had planned to spend the day learning more about the town. But after a series of half-communications, here we were scrambling ...

... seemingly us and 4 other people. Already eerily similiar to a hospital, a mental one at that, a complete lack of anybody there contributed towards returning me back, for the umpteenth time this holiday, to Jack Nicholson's hotel in the hills. Nevermind, the whole point was being to base ourselves ready to attack Punta in the morning. Punta itself is a very well developed, pretty wealthy beach resort, plenty of high ...

... called Maldonado Which is about 15 min away from The most popular spot in Latin america for january. It is super packed here I heard from a friend that in another beach town near here there was over 500 people without a place to stay. just crazy how everyone rushes to the Coast Right after the holidays These next 15 days its like imposible to find anywhere to stay, i consider myself fortune to have such kinda family to let me stay with them. So thats my update hope it was entertaining.

... here. There are thached cotages, log cabins, modern styled, brick, wood, cape code style, victorian. you name it some body has built one like it down here. It is the end of the season and we hit some poor weather so it was really quiet. Judging from the amount of condos and vacation houses here, during the high season it must be an absolute zoo here.

... KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. I can`t ****ing believe it, how the hell is she only 16???????? She got in on a fake ID or some ****. The funny part is she doesn`t even care that I`m 32 and she tells me that we can go back to her place together. Man, the ****ing predicaments I get myself into. Do you know how hard it is to be drunk, having it be 7am in the morning with more or less all other chances gone, have a gorgeous chick invite you back ...

... and fries. Lizz informed me it was goat meat - always a time for a first. It was a thin meat and tasted really good - Lizz had a taste too and liked it. Two days later, Lizz had a confession to make - she confused the word Chivo (goat) with Chivito (the sandwich) which contained a thin steak slice. I wonder what goat really tastes like?! Later we went back to the beach as it was brightening up. The beach was nice and big ...

... with a little lettuce and tomato. Tastes great but very filling. I am almost ashamed to admit this, but I have eaten so much steak in the last week that last night I had a salad for dinner. RESTAURANT IN MONTEVIDEO TYPICALLY MEAT IS COOKED OVER A FIRE. We are not putting on the miles as expected. I eliminated one of our side trips in order to stay to some sort of schedule. I think the problem is every ...

... ausfragen. bin aber schon wieder verliebt in die e900, die ich gestern im schaufenster gesehen hab. fuer alle die sich nicht fuer autos und fotos interessieren, folgt nun ein etwas allgemeinerer bericht von punta del este: hier kann man eigentlich gar nichts machen, wenn man keine yacht hat ;-). nein man kann sich sonnen und spazieren gehen! ok ist verrueckt, ist richtig ausgestorben hier, wenn man nachts durch die strasse geht sind fast alle ...

... left the "propina" (tips) field empty while signing the bill. I just pretended to be a stupid European not understanding..., que es propina??? I also managed to use the dirty laundry basket as storage for some of my clean clothes, so was I happy when they charged me US $61 to clean some of my clean underwear. Cheap *******... Unfortunately we were not too lucky with the weather during our eight days stay, it was a mix of sun, clouds and rain (with a slight emphasis ...
