We´re back in Montevideo after our wonderful beachy experience in Punta del Este and Punta del Diablo for the last two days. Places to go for sure...but maybe places to go in the offseason, not the tourist season like it is now!
It was so crowded!!!!
But we loved it. And loved hearing the sound of the beach and waves crashing and rolling in our ears....beautiful.
So...now that we´re back to the city, we can relax! It´s Sunday. And on Sunday´s the whole of South America has bare streets! And we´re going to go strolling...
And we´re going to have some dinner at the local cafe, called Barrik, in Convencion Street, that has milenesa the Uruguayan favourite which is similar to the `sticks` or `stekkers`..the italian cheese and breadcrumbed bashed meat that i make, except it also has mozzerella, ham and olives as well - SO yummy!!
They sell a plateful of this milenesa, as well as an ensalada, (salad) fritas (chips) and a copa (cup) vino tinto (red wine) for 99 pesos. (Less than AUD$5!)
We´re here for another couple of days...before we head back to Buenos Aires so we´re just going to enjoy the famous beaches that are only five minutes from here...
Hope all is well back home???
Adios! (Bye!)
Hasta manana (See you later!)
Que tengas un buen dia (Have a nice day!)
