Time for a mid-holiday getaway. We took a taxi to the airport, mum asked why it was so quiet on the streets, i asked the driver, he said it was the 25th Anniversary of Las Malvinas; he asked us where we were from and that was the end of that. We then talked about footie, i said i was a Boca fan - he was a River fan. I tipped him heavily to avoid a kicking.
We'd booked the Radisson in Montevideo, slap bang in the centre on Plaza Indepencia next to my favourite building. We were given a room on the 22nd floor with stunning views of the old town. Had a swim, the pool is fantastic, and then went for a walk. Although Montevideo is a capital, of at least a million people it is totally different to Bs As. Much more space, a lot less bustle, more greenery, and the Mercardo del Puerto - i still haven't found a better place to eat than this in my life.
The sunset from our room was stunning, the night views from the bar on the top floor also. An early night ensued - tomorrow we had an early start planned, alot of walking was going to be necessary before hitting the Mercardo.
