Hotel in Montevideo It is the Hotel Palacio and it's located in the historic centre at Bartolomé Mitre 1364. We paid USD$38 for a double room and they even gave us an extra bed for our daughter free of charge. No breakfast is included (as with many Montevideo hotels) but just down the road there are some nice cafes - try the one on Plaza de la Constitution, can't remember the name but its a big, very old fashioned cafe and they do a set breakfast with medialunas, coffee & OJ for a good price.
Heading to Montevideo in 2 weeks...enjoyed reading your post. What was the name of the little Parisien style hotel? Are you heading to Igazu Falls at all? Have fun on the rest of your holidays! Kim
Glad you enjoyed Uruguay as well! If you head to Punta del Este, you MUST visit Casa Pueblo and stay to watch the sunset! It's amazing! We think it's so great that you're starting your daughter off traveling at such a young age! Happy travels!

wow!!! Hi Guys and 'gap tooth' Amy,
What an adventure and facinating report. I have meant to catch up forages and just have not got around to it. The report and pictures are amazing - you should investigate selling them to a travel book site? Great that you are having such a fantastic adventure. Look after yourselves and see you in ???????????????
Andy I will provide a brief report on the 6 nations commencing Sat 6th Feb England Wales in Cardiff.
Love to you all xx(Fee and Amy) - hi 5 for the big fella!
Oruro Train Hi there, we used Tupiza Tours (La Paz office) to book our tickets for the train. The train was full so I think it is advisable to book ahead.
Catch Up Just spent a lovely 1/2 hour breezing through your blog - beautiful photos and what an amazing adventure. Being in Miami we are a real mix of the cultures you have been visiting and it was so interesting to see where they come from in a different light. If you get the opportunity or need a stop over then please pop in
Missed it!! In typical Morton fashion I hopped along to post office today to be told had missed deadline for posting anything to Argentina - boo! So - in plenty of time - I wish you a wonderful Christmas and a ball of a New Year!!xx
pics are unbelievable - you're doing an amazing job at giving us an insight into your adventure. Amy looks in fine spirits. Business as usual here! Much love to all. Kathryn
Hi from Yell Hi Andy, Am really enjoying your blog and am very jealous of all the amazing experiences that you have had already. The photos are all fabulous! Gen
Komodo Dragon Happy Holidays and Greetings From Royal Ascot.
All seems amazing.
Not sure if this will be sent to you - however if so - The pictured Iguana - are they related to the Komodo Dragon? Only just recently saw a facinating programme on those beasts narated by Sir Richard Attenborough and they were incredible and are those crabs like the ones on Christmas Island?
Sending lots of Love from across the ocean.

Green with envy? Actaully I am not - I have a little envy but mostly a lot of respect for seeing someone take an unusual choice and make a dreama reality. I am delighted that you all are having such a fantastic experience. You are no doubt not missing England with its dark wintry weather and bogged down politics and economy, enjoy - Swiss Family Hewlettson!
love the pic Hi guys, Just had to say loved the pic of Fiona jumping into the sea. Are you laughling or screaming!!!? Hope the rain's stopped. Clare. xx
Andy having a swinging time Hi guys, saw the pictures and immediately thought it was Fee snapping Andy in the trees. Glad to hear it is going well. All the best to you all Si

Not in the slightest bit jealous! Just looked at the blog for your first few days, looks like it's been pretty colourful! Here I am sitting at my desk working and looking forward to my week in Tuscany in September which seems pretty small beer compared to your big adventure! Enjoy, look forward to the next edition!

Well, the Hewlett's are planning their family adventure - 1 year in Latin America. Our trip begins on 1st August this year, so it's time to start planning. We're beginning our trip in South America but are a little nervous of some of the places, particularly as we are travelling with our young daughter, who will be 5 when we travel.... full info
