We have made it back to BA and had a very harrowing driving in a taxi from the port! So much so that we've had to come straight to our bar for happy "hour"!! Uruguay was good although it poured down last night! Our two hostels were fine, although the second one needed a bit of a clean!

it was actually quite expensive (£40) but G convinced me it was worth it - just hope we don't have to cut the trip short by a week because of my early indulgence!! The green tea stuff was ok, bit of an acquired taste though so need to try it again!

hey wenny, looks like you were the only two people in Uruguay! A colleague of mine drinks matte - looks like a lot of effort for what could quite easily be achieved with a PG Tips or a trip to Starbucks...! kathy xx

Mate
Very intrigued by the drink you called matte. Eventually tracked it down using Wiki and it's actually called 'mate' and it seems to be drunk all over south America.
