Wednesday 29th April Getting up is also awkward as the others show no signs of getting up, but it's 8:30 and we want to get going. We get up as quietly as possible. I think next time we might choose a room with more than 4 beds. I guess it's trial and error. A skimpy breakfast is included and then we get our stuff and check out. It's overcast and windy, but no rain- yet. We head off towards the beach. There are reeds at the edge in places, more like a lake. Ther...

Monday 27th April Another slow start to the day. I slept better - yay. Take another vitamin tablet for sure. We do more internet research. I book a bike tour for the afternoon and Malcolm looks at ferry fares to colonia del Sacramento. We go out to book the tickets. A little pricey at $202 usd return, but hopefully worth it. We return to the hotel to drop stuff off and book accommodation for Colonia. We head off to the square to wait for out bike tour. Eventua...

Sunday 26th April A lazy day. Kind of. We have breakfast and set out to plan a bit more of our trip. Mal looks up help-x places and joins for $40. I look up local attractions and bike tours. We contact a help x host. Is well after lunch and we head out for a walk toward to harbour- or so we think. We pass the bus station and see a harbour, kind of. But looks more like a yacht club. We find a reserve and go for a walk about 5km. There isn't much to see as the re...

Saturday 25th April I don't want to get out of bed- but I do. We pack, get ready and leave 30 min before check out. We leave our bags at the hotel. I was unable to find any church we could go to, so we walk around the streets. We stop by a restaurant and stand outside to see if we can join their wifi. No luck. We see the painted ceiling and architecture of a mall close by and sit down to pass time. A amazingly, we are close to a Starbucks and able to join their ...

Friday 24th April An early start of 3:30 for 4am leaving for the airport, only to be told that our flight is delayed two hours. Feeling tired. The flight to buenos aires is just over 2 hours. We watch some TV shoes: Malcolm about national geographic photographers and factories and me about a government spying/security machine. The airport is right in the harbour, which is brown. There are lots of established trees which give it a nice feel. It takes less than h...
