Another Robbery in Liverpool!




We are still in Uruguay, Montevideo, after our time in the picturesque village of Colonia, Uruguay´s oldest town, and then Punta del Diablo. Uruguay has a reputation of being the Switzerland of South America : the buses run on time, all items on the menu are available and it doesn´t take an hour to be served 2 drinks in an empty bar, I almost feel rushed here! We´d read that P del D was a real gem and it didn´t disappoint, we hired an apartment right on the beach for a pittance and watched the waves crash against the rocks in the sunshine.
We spent last night in Montevideo and this afternoon had lunch at the brilliant Mercardo del Puerto where every restaurant has a huge BBQ and you sit around the BBQ as you would at a bar and see the food being cooked. I laughed at what 2 old women had ordered: all the meat Bec and me had had between us they had EACH plus, chips, salad and a mega sausage. I had to find room to eat my words as they polished everything off no problem.
Apologies for another topless shot of me but it´s the only one that shows the view from our apatrment!
PS See O´Shea´s last minute winner in injury time to explain title, apparently not everyone will understand it!?!?
