A Day in Montevideo

Photos from Uruguay
After going to the internetcafe I went around buying some necessities (except a flashlight and a watch, neither of which I could find); and then headed back to the Hostel for some relaxation (and conversation). For dinner I went to one of the famous parillas (steakhouses) where for a mere 255 Uruguay peso´s, I had the biggest piece of meat in my entire life. And what´s more it was solomillo, and if it hadn't been well-done, but just red; it could easily have been one of the best I had ever had.

I must say that when I walked back I didn't feel all that much at ease, but then it was very dark, I was (and am) new in the country and to top it... I got lost :S.
But I did eventually get back, and spend an hour or so repacking (my bag seems to have shrunk, or the contents gotten larger), whilst I talked to a friendly Canadian girl. I did however, go to bed after that.

So when I woke during the night (noisy people) I decided not to go to Cabo Polonio, simply because I was to lazy to get up (the bus for Cabo Polonio leaves at 9; I haven't changed much yet), but when I did actually wake up it was 6.45 so I decided to go anyway, so right now I am sitting in Tres Cruces Bus terminal in Montevideo waiting for my bus, when actually leaves at 10.10 (as I discovered).

Cabo Polonio is special because it is what's called "off the beaten path" in a unique way. It is in fact somewhat close to Punta del Este (a big tourist place), but there is no bus stop (you have to ask the driver to stop), and then wait for some big monster trucks to drive you there (that, rent a horse or walk through the sand for 3 hours).
When you finally get there, there is no electricity and I hope; a vacant hotel room, otherwise I will have to sleep outside; but I have faith in the small hotels there; even if it means getting a single room, I read some articles about the place, and it really seems like a place not to be missed (although I would really like to sleep in a bed).

And today, I have prepared a little favourite song of mine, for you to listen to.
