Uruguay...no really, its a country!!!

Buenos Aires, a citythat never sleeps, and an interesting one at that. Our last night in the city was spent dining in a chinese resteraut for Mio´s leaving meal and escaing the blaring musiof the hostel pre pyjama party, twhich when we did return a rather scary man from recption was prancing round in his tightie whities, others in nighties, and one particular individual who had somehow managed to wind up sporting a toilet seat around his head???

Fondly leaving the joys, memories and and unfortuneatly Mio (he was flying home) all back in Buenos Aires we departed via a three hour ferry to the more relaxed and even more mate obsessed country of Uruguay, setting up home for the night and exploring the old smugglers port town of Colonia.

It truly did feel like all that was mising was the odd pirate or two roaming the town. After wathing one of the most unbelieveable sunsets ever miika and Cherry departed for a fourth aniversary meal whilst to my horror, i discovered first hand that in the people of Uruguay really are nothing like the Argentine people... At 9pm i discoveredthat almost every bar in town was closed... ths definatley isnt BA!

Morning up, it was off to our next stop Montevido, another ocean side city, noticeably bigger than Colonia, but still nothing to big. There really is not much to the city, some fairly grand buidings but not much more than that to be truthful.

Being honest, there isnt alot going on here in Uruguay, its a bit like wales in essence, filled with nothing (and without the sheep), but it is so laid back, and im not suprised really... Uruguay only really became known to the world about 6 or 7 years ago, theres really no tourists here at all that can dilute the feeling here.
