A day at the beach in La Barra
... seemed to be shut and some bungalows beside the beach. It was a nice place to spend a relaxing couple of nights but at first I thought it was a shame that we only had one full day at the beach. However, with hindsight perhaps this was just as well considering that I turned a brilliant lobster red after only two hours on the beach. I spent the evening nursing my blistering skin over a bottle of vino tinto and a home-cooked ...
Pouring in Piriapolis

After lunch Claudia (the doctor) and I went with Nicolas (the owner) to downtown Punta del Este. He took us to the bank. In addition to getting Uruguay pesos I wanted to do an advance on ...
