Montevideo, Uruguay

Today is a travel day as we head to Uruguay, specifically Montevideo. Time to say goodbye to our little apartment with a lovely scrambled eggs breakfast. We catch a Uber to the port and enter the Buquebus terminal. Immigration is completed on this side, you are stamped out of Argentina and they then slide your passport across the desk to the Uruguay person to stamp us in – all very friendly. Our ticket includes a ferry across to Colonia and then a bus to Montevideo. Disappointingly the ferry didn’t have an outside deck so had to settle for a seat facing the fast food kiosk. 1hr ferry followed by 2 hour bus and we’re in Montevideo, caught a taxi down to the Holiday Inn (free stay with Justin’s points!). I had been trying to secure a apartment in BA for a month to take Spanish classes and on connecting to wifi received an email saying it had gone -damn it! Took some time on airbnb to find another, more expensive but everything is starting to fill for Easter so I have booked it and can now relax on that front. Stroll to dinner at Dueto I have a really nice grilled fish which makes a change from steak.
