Punta del Diablo to Montevideo: Caballo Loco Hostel. April 4. I woke up in our hostel in Punta del Diablo and had my first shower in four days. That was pretty awesome. I did not feel dirty, but I probably was. There was only brown water at Cobo Polinio so it was not much of an option there. When we arrived here yesterday, I was already dirty, so I just dealt with it. I stole a towel from the hostel....
Cabo Polonio to Punta del Diablo: Unwanted Hitchhikers . April 3. Irmante and I got up early enough to catch an early truck to the highway so that we could try to hitch-hike from Cabo Polonio to Punta del Diablo. About 8 or 10 cars came along but no one would pick up an Eastern European blonde, and a guy in a cowboy hat. Some other hitchhiker came along and was standing in front of us. That was not going to...
Cabo Polonio: Weed Brownies aka Cabo Polonio: Brownie Moron Medication… April 2. We had quite a day. Irmante and I went for a walk past a very smelly dead sea lion on the way to the lighthouse on the end of the peninsula. It cost us $20 Uruguayan ($1 US) to climb it and have a look around. It is the only tourist attraction here. This is a really cool and quaint little town. Any town that has 38 residents...
Montevideo to Cabo Polonio: Freedom. April 1. We checked out of the Caballo Loco hostel, where I had made good friends with owner Felipe who told me he was sad to see me leave. There are good people at that hostel. Irmante and I caught a bus to the main bus transport station to catch a life from Montevideo to Cabo Polonio. My ridiculous hair is making people guess that we are Brazilians, even though Irmante is so obviously Eastern...
Montevideo: Alive Uruguay Rugby Team. March 31. I slept late and missed breakfast, finally showered, and Irmante told me she was going on a free walking tour of the Montevideo. I decided to join. This city has a great vibe. I am not sure why I like it here so much, but it seems to be really cool. The Rio de la Plata that runs along the banks of this city is the widest river in the world; 220 kilometers...
Montevideo Party Time. March 30. Lazy, and out of bed at 12:30pm. I was tired. Irmante was sick as a sick dog because she did not starve herself from food and water to choke the sunofagun of a cold off. So, I went on a health shopping spree for her and tried to sort her future out. I drew a mustache on her with a marker. It was a rainy shitty day. I made buddies with the guy who runs...
Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. – (A proverb I got from an older black man in New York in 2004.) – I have done no research on this trip to Uruguay, and realised on the bus itself that we booked that we will be doing a lot of unnecessary backtracking because I did not take 40 minutes to look at the future of our plans and just booked a ticket from Asunción to Montevideo… I am pissed off...
