A day at the beach in La Barra
... a relief that Shane and I weren't staying in this big resort town, which had luxury, high-rise apartments all along that shore but seemed to be a ghost town at this time of year. Presumably, the place springs to life in January when all Argentinians and Uruguayans take their summer break.
Ten minutes by bus further east along the coast is La Barra, a sleepy beach resort town. It comprised a few expensive cafes ...
Pouring in Piriapolis
... the Cote d'Azur in France - the beach, the houses alongside it and even the lampposts along it. Although today, the weather was distinctly worse! It was so misty and kept drizzling a lot as well, so we constantly had to put our raincoats on. Following along the promenade we checked out the infamous Hotel Argentino, built by a rich Argentine back in the day, who then started his own ferry service to bring Argentines directly to Piriapolis on vacation.

Day 2 in Punta del Este

We arrived back at the B& B at about 11:00 PM. Too early to go to bed. So, I got the bottle of Uruguay wine I bought earlier in the day and brought it down to the lounge. Nicolas opened the bottle and brought two glasses for me and Claudia. ...
A quick look at Uruguay, Buenos Aires, then home
... bed. The experience tonight is completely different to our first night. The man in reception is extremely pleasant and helpful, his friends leave early, so there is no talking keeping us awake, he turns the foyer light off so it doesn’t shine into our room, there is only one late entrance (at 1.30am) which wakes us, but we go back to sleep, AND there is no sign of bed bugs!
