Montevideo!




We are leaving Montevideo today, even though we just came! Well, we´ve seen plenty of it by now after two days of walking through its streets, plazas and beaches. Yesterday we visited the center and the plaza de armas. The town is a strange mix of beautiful and extremely ugly buildings, making it dificult to take good pictures, there`s always something that gets in the way! The city also has a huge harbour providing a bit of change to the long and (mostly) white beaches!
Today we have walked along the beach, looking at the palmtrees, the ocean (having a strange grey-brownish colour) and lots of freighter ships going up and down de Rio de la plata.
Soon we´ll be heading back to Buenos Aires where we still have lots to see! Tiem is getting short and there is still plenty of continent left beore Ushuaia!
(pictures will be up as soon as possible!)

May Gustav be tired ? ;)

"tiem" is a short word for the "little friend down there". If it's getting short, it means that it's getting cold and you should definitely head to the tropics. Wrong way, guys.

Ha! Do you realize you could be sitting in front of a computer instead of taking the pain of travelling. I could have told you the water is brownish just from looking at the satellite view on your blog. Also, if you look closely you can see palm trees and ugly houses. But keep going - and keep heading south. You had better get used to the weather awaiting you back home :-)

Hi,
A few centimeters snow in Le Grand Bornand !...
A chilling weather...
Enjoy your walks on white beaches under the shadow of Palm trees...
Best regards Jean-Yves

I love snow, but I'd rather wait until January before I go to le Grand Bornand... I like walking along the beach (and I would have loved it even more if there were more shadow... ouch, it burns)

Ah, and I DID tell Gustav that the brownish color was quite obvious from the satellite picture...
In his defense, he's been sick for the last couple days. Total loss of appetite. Hopefully, it's getting slightly better...

They are nice anyway, thanks for her...
