Today we had our brekky delivered to our room - Tom's come down with a sudden, very bad head cold, so this made it easier to be ready for our 8.30 start on our Montevideo Highlights tour. We went to several parks, saw their important parliament buildings, their important statues and their exclusive beachside suburbs. Montevideo and Buenos Aires are both situated on the banks of a huge delta where a few rivers meet. The river that empties on the Montevideo side deposits sand, so they have beaches. The river that empties on the Buenos Aires side deposits silt, so they have no beaches, only mud. The river mouth is 100 miles wide. We also saw the stadium that housed the very first World Cup soccer game in 1930, which was won by Uruguay! Once again there were many eucalypts planted around the city. One avenue had Tasmanian Blue Gums down the middle! Dinner in the restaurant was delightful! Beautifully cooked food, with wonderful cauliflower au gratin! I do love my cauliflower. Our guide in Montevideo told us it was their last day of summer and that the temperature would drop by 10 degrees C overnight. Then on the ship this afternoon they warned us that we are heading in to stormy waters with gale force winds and that the stabilizers wouldn't be able to be activated until we are out of the shallow river delta. They told us to choose sensible footwear for tomorrow and to use handrails to assist in stability. It wax already very windy by bedtime. Our ship was built by Fincantieri in Italy in 2000. These are the same people who built the Queen Elizabeth, the most recent ship we've sailed on.
