Uruguay

Just to make it short,because we are a bit busy by travelling. We rented a car (bad one,but cheap)
and drove from Montevideo along the coast to one of the most famous summer spots in Southamerica called Punta del Este,which is kind of like Monaco or even worse. But its on a beautiful peninsula, a pity they over build everthing. But just around was a nice place called la Barra where we stayed one night. Poor expensive hotel but a fantastic dinner in a beauty of Restaurant. Next even more north just 130km of the border to Brasil La Pedrera, nice village, very sleepy and all they do is drinking Mate Tea and surfing. A pity for Geri ,cause beaches after beaches for Miles but .....no wind. We had in bad weather a wonderful trip to such a poor fishing village called Cabo Polonia,really nice to see. Hundredes of Sealions,small tiny houses and I guess no electricity or fresh water. But the people so nice and happy,so we ask us whats the problem with us Europeans.
Now we re in downtown Montevideo and surprised cause its more beautiful then we thought.
We found a superb Hotel built 1913 and careful renovated in the heart of Montevideo (Like Niederdorf in Zuerich or Gamla Stan in Stockholm). On the top of the fantastic building they have a terrasse and a Bar and you can see all over the town. If you hear this you think maybe not payable but hey...Caipirinha Sfr.3.- and 1Liter Beer Sfr.3.50. And we ate in a typical Uruguayo Parilla (Uruguascho Parischa)Restaurant,big Grill in the middle of the Restaurant and meat ,meat,meat so much filetto de lomo we both put pretty much weight on. And in the night the all opened their bars and clubs and thousands of Uruguayos on the street.....I hate Bongos... loud...all night long. So we had not much sleep,but it was worth it anyway with such a nice hotel.
Now, we have to waste some time and waiting for the bus up north to Brasil.
Stay tuned....
