A day at the beach in La Barra
During the 6-hour bus ride from Colonia de Sacramento, I glanced out of the window from time to time as we passed by farmland and the occasional small town. The landscape was flat and totally unchanging – like Belgium on a sunny day. The land looked extremely fertile, with bright green fields and healthy cows grazing. We passed straight through Montevideo, which seemed quiet for a capital city, and on to Punta del Este. ...
Pouring in Piriapolis
... money!!! Then we headed to the coach station, to sort out our transport for the evening. We were told we couldn't buy tickets to Salto here, but it would be easy to do in Montevideo. At least I am learning a few more words now, so explaining things is getting slightly easier.

Beachside town of empty high-rises
On Monday morning we went to the bus station in Colonia and purchased our tickets to Montevideo. We just missed one bus so we had to wait an hour. No problem – there was a café right in the terminal to have coffee at.
