Calle Victor Solino 349 Montevideo, Uruguay, 11300, 2-710-21-21
Despues de tres horas de un paisaje sobrio y gris poco a poco Montevideo se fue dibujando en el horizonte. Sus edificaciones tomaban forma poco a poco. Llegamos al Puerto de Montevideo muy organizado y ademas simbolo y patrimonia de Uruguay. A pocos cuadras de alli encontramos al Mercado el sitio mas famoso para almorzar en Montevideo.
Montevideo, Uruguay duque99As our whirlwind tour of Latin America drew near, we spent a little time thinking about how we would allocate the remaining time in South America. With onward travel plans that take us from Buenos Aires on the 28th of December, back to Mexico City, Chicago and Denver before eventually depositing us in North Africa, we figured we had a little less than a week left. Given its proximity to Argentina's bustling capital city and its reputation for some of the nicest people on the continent, the ne...
Colonia de Sacramento, Uruguay stevecoriDid I say they were laid back? Well Christmas is celebrated for a few hours by those that try, it is felt that the majority prefer to shut shop and siesta for a day, probably with their families. We thought that our specially selected hotel that was fully booked for Christmas and New Year would lay something on for its 200 guests. No, they suggest "For Christmas dinner try the Sheraton." Too far to walk, no buses; taxis on Christmas day?? We try to book a meal at several restaurants - closed ...

... ensconced in a neat 2 story Hostel in Montevideo. <br><br>Cecelia, the receptionist, gave us some good tips on where to sightsee and more importantly, where to eat. So we caught a taxi into town for $2.50 and had a thick steak meal in a Canadian Restaurant. Des and I were unable to draw any money out of the ATM so Lou and Lynn paid for our meal for us. <br><br>Our room had a two square meter balcony, so we poured a drink and toasted to Uruguay. <br><br ...
Montevideo, Uruguay jennykelly... verdier, og ting som de ikke lærer pga at familieforhold ikke er de beste. Ofte er det familier med 6 medlemmer, der det er foreldre.. oftest er det moren som er igjen med barna, mens mennene vandrer videre. Et anna problem er jo at det er veldig respekt for menn, og kvinnene er vant med at det er mannsdominert, dette er noe som preger kvinnenes måte å tenke på...<br><br>Nå skal vi ha middag med kirkeledere, det skal foregå på en restaurant som er iskald...
Montevideo, Uruguay ellece... the Irish guys I`d had lunch with in Cordoba had said it was amazing. Still not exactly sure what it is, but they said it was something from the throat area of the cow. It tasted okay, but I found the after taste a bit greasy and off-putting. Next was the ´baby beef´ and to be honest, I was really disappointed. The steak I´d had in Alta Gracia a few days earlier had been much nicer. The red wine was delicious though. Maybe I was disappointed because I knew how much the meal ...
Montevideo, Uruguay danasv... having not had a lot of sleep. However after a couple of hours sleep at the hostel we spent the rest of the day walking around Montevideo. There doesn´t seem to be anything specific to see but it was much more relaxed than BA. The architecture is quite beautiful and there were some nice stretches of white sandy beaches but the water was brown. Supposedly this is the sediment but I also saw a few large jellyfish so ...
Montevideo, Uruguay louiseharris... booooooooooooooooos!" Vale. Arriving at the terminal, we were treated to the typical Argentine orgainzation system...that is to say no system at all. It is moments like these when you are reminded that regardless of that cool neighborhood over in Palermo, you are still in a third world country. After a ridiculous amount of time in line, we finally got our tickets taken care of and boarded the "fast boat" to Montevideo. The 3 hour trip passed easily as we read and ...
Montevideo, Uruguay jazzkat6... nous en avons fait le tour et decidons de continuer sur la cote Uruguayienne avec en ligne de mire Braziou !! ______________________________________ Ya se que las comparaciones son odiosas pero es que después de Buenos Aires.... Nos habían dicho que Montevideo era una ciudad bastante bonita aunque lo único que merecía la pena conocer era el casco antiguo y que dos días eran suficientes. Lo que no nos dijeron era que la ciudad esta ...
Montevideo, Uruguay mariaclement... overcast, we took a chance and caught the 582 bus to The Prado area (where Noe lives, to my surprise; I thought she lived right around the corner someplace). The bus driver gestured the stop at the Botanical Gardens, and we walked to what we thought was the entrance. Wrong! It was the driveway - with a locked gate, of course - to the Presidential Residence! We spotted a McDonald sign, always good for a baño stop; the men´s was upstairs, and the ...
