In Colonia, the final Uruguayan city. Uruguay has been lovely and relaxing but I'm looking forward to a more livelier place with more things to do. I overslept this morning! But I just managed to get ready and finish off my packing in 15 mins and was just on time, phew! Got a minibus to take us to the bus station to get our bus to Colonia. It took about 2 hours and I slept most of the way so felt better when I arrived ready for the day ahead. Got a taxi to the...

Lovely breakfast this morning, the best since Easter Island! Nothing can beat good old cereal :D We were supposed to go on a city walking tour this morning but the guide didn't show up! So some of us just wandered around before going to this market. We thought it would be your traditional market, selling fruit and veg and other things. But no, it was full of meat restaurants! Had some chicken for lunch from there. We were also meant to go for bike ride after lu...

In Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Woke up to loads of massive mosquito bites on my legs which I got from horse riding yesterday. So so itchy and I can see the lumps through my leggings so it's safe to say it's not nice at all! Not a good thing being too sweet :p Had an omelette this morning, I surprised myself that I liked it as I usually don't like eggs! It was raining when we left which was perfect timing! If it had rained whilst we were there it wouldn...

Today was the most chilled out day I've had in a very long time! And it was SO nice! Got up in our own time although I was the first one up to breakfast as usual! Chilled out in the sun. There was not a cloud in sight! It was cold so had to wrap up warm but it was so warm just sitting out in the sun which was really nice. Made some bread, we all got creative and made various shapes. Of course, me not having a creative bone in my body, mine probably was one do ...

In a ranch in Mercedes, Uruguay. It's gorgeous here, so nice and peaceful! Didn't sleep all that well last night, on and off so definitely feeling it! Got dropped off at a service station at 7am instead of 10am as we thought it would be so it was 14 hours instead of 17! A good thing for sure! Hung around for a couple of hours for our minibus. The service station had wifi so it kept us all occupied! Thanks to wifi! The Argentinian border was closed so we coul...
