Yesterday morning we woke up to a breakfast on the bus of coffee and a cake/biscuit (filled with dulche de leche) and arrived into Cordoba two hours late at 9.30am. We got a taxi outside the bus station and headed straight to the hostel, where we arrived just at the end of breakfast time, so grabbed some (vile) jam and bread and coffee, before dumping our bags. We had a quick sort out (Laura having to dry out most of her clothes and case, as it had got soaked e...

Yesterday we were up bright and early and enjoyed coffee and croissants for breakfast before being picked up just after 8.00am (was meant to be 7.30am!) We were one of the last pick ups for our day trip into the Andes, so it wasnt long before we were on our way.

We left the hostel about 9.40am and headed for the Ferrylineas terminal (via the market for an obligatory key ring!) to book our ferry and bus to Montevideo. On the way to the terminal we went to the Plaza de Mayo, a square overlooked by numerous colonial buildings, where many protests and demonstrations take place. One corner of the square is home to the Municipal Cathedr...
