Montevideo

The three of us took a nice and short bus-ride along the coast to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay where we stayed for a couple of nights. It was a very different capital to Buenos Aires, with a very different feel to it. Unfortunatley, it rained on us for the first time since the jungle and we were shocked with the overcast skies. Being right on the coast, we had a nice walk along the sea-fronts and whatnot, but the place felt inherently like Whitley Bay for some reason. Cold and wet. I didn´t fancy a dip.

Some lovelly air-conditioning units on this baby.

The old town has suffered quite a lot of neglect and in parts was a bit of a dump, but it still had some lovelly plaza´s and the like.

Canny lookin´ columns.

We returned to Buenos Aires on the ferry with high spirits, despite the weather.
