Punta del Este

---

Second day in Uruguay - today we visited famous Punta del Este at the ocean shore. A 2:30 hour bus ride took us to Uruguays most famous beach resort. Fortunately the weather was close to perfect, as there were no clouds at all we were able to spend a beautiul sunny day at the sea. Unlike during the south american winter - Punta was not very busy. Despite the nice weather, we pretty much had the whole town for us. We did walk all around the peninsula and saw the pretty houses in the old part of the village at the tip of the island. The harbour was not too busy either, but we did see some very nice yachts. In the late afternoon we took the bus back to Montevideo and arrived in the capital after sunset. At the hostel many new guests had arrived and for this night, the owner Augustino prepared a very delicious barbecue. We met people from England and Ireland, who had been travelling around for a couple of month and gave us some good advice about our future plannings.
