From the River Plate - Part 1

Five port excursion days on the run here, so not much time for blogging. Montivideo (Uruguay) (twice), Buenos Aires (Argentina) (two days) and Puerto Este (Uruguay). Buenos Aires is the end of the second leg of the cruise.

Puerto Este is the most prosperous place TSH and Diva have so far seen in South America. All of the houses and apartments look desirable, although very expensive. The tour went to a gallery where they had some original Dali sculptures and another one where a famous (Pablo Atchugarry) artist was caving marble. The outdoor part of this one was lovely – the landscape was quite English-looking. Unfortunately, the similarity ran to a heavy shower and Diva had to wear a plastic poncho.

TSH got bitten by midges when he was photographing birds and Diva was very cross with him.

There were sealions in the harbour and a bridge which was like a roller coaster. The drivers deliberately drove fast over it. This strange shape was by design!!


Also in port in Montevideo: MSC Musica
