Other notes

We are experimenting in using a computer each today!
Our stay in Uruguay was great. Alejandro, our couchsurfing host, was kindness itself. He whizzed us all over the place straight after picking us up at the bus station on the Friday evening, explaining about buildings, monuments and lots of Uruguayan history. We went to see the sunset over the river too, with Full Moon coming up opposite. Saturday we wandered about by ourselves and especially enjoyed the old port market place, full of wrought iron and a wonderful old clock. Sue has the pics as stupidly i had left my camera behind.
Now we are in Buenas Aires. Our momentum amazes even us...

At 9.30 we were in the port of Colonia (lovely sleepy place, where there are no traffic lights and the cars just stop and wave you on as soon as you step out into the road) ready to board the catamaran ferry.


Then whoosh, a couple of hours later, through all the border controls and over the Rio de la Plata, and here we are. Still very hot of course. They and Uruguay are experiencing quite a bad drought at the moment. We haven't seen the tango here yet but are going to go looking as soon as we've finished here.

Leaving your camera is a bit of a shame this early. Will you be able to get it posted on to you somewhere?
