... it sparkle? I personally do not believe that there is. Another highlight was lunch. I think the key to picking good restaurants is looking for the people who look like they're from there and watching where they go. We ended up having lunch on this gorgeous little outside patio overlooking the water. It's where the surfers go to eat. I'm not really into red meat, fish or prawns, but I did have some absolutely fantastic pumpkin/squash ...

... the first number we came to was 2250!! Half an our later, we finally got to our hostel - The Aramaya. The hostel then told us we weren't booked in! I showed them the confirmation from hostelbookers and they apologised for the error. There were no rooms that we requested left, so we got a free upgrade to a top floor, quadruple room, with balcony, ensuite and cable TV! Nice.

... walking about in the rain. I wanted to try something that was typical Uruguay so Ismael ordered Chivito for us both. I had seen someone eating it in Chile but had already eaten so didn't try it. Basically it's a large plate with chips on the bottom, meats over the top, salad , salsa and fried eggs on top of that.

... first skyscraper and I think an impressive building) , the old government building "Casa de Gobierno Historico" and then some more modern buildings like the Radisson hotel and the new "Palacio de Justicia".
