11th - 12th April Montevideo

Left Salto at around 12pm for our 6 hour bus trip to Montevideo. We had a fairly smooth journey through the countryside of mainly farming land and through a few small towns. Very interesting to see the different types of architecture. Most of the houses are very small brick and cement. Arrived in Montevideo at 7.30pm and headed out for dinner. 12th Spent the day walking through the old part of town. There were markets on in a park in the centre of the old town selling antiques, arts and crafts. You could buy muskets, pistols, old telephones with the stick and the other bit you put to your ear attached by a cord (don´t know the name of them but I am sure Sheldon or Gregg will be able to help there). We went out to lunch with the group and shared a main, it was still huge! I can´t believe how big the servings are here. We didn´t end up having dinner as David was still stuffed from lunch.
