How a 134 km drive took 7 hours.
Today we set out for the beach. As you can see from the google map snippet, there's not a ton of detailed road maps. Plenty of tourist offices give out free maps but they lack detail, as we discovered.
The main obstacle today was a conference call that I have every Friday at 11 am EST, or 2 pm Uruguay time. We picked up the rental car at …
Making the best of a cloudy day
The day we were supposed to spend entirely on the beach, soaking up the sun, turned out to be cloudy, windy and a bit chilly. We did our best though, seeing the touristy spots in Punta, eating seafood next to the water, and of course, more ice cream!

“ Beautiful setting ”
Reviewed Dec 17, 2010
