The only thing disturbing about Montevideo is Mate. A seriously disgusting herbal drink that everyone loves. Almost everyone is seen carrying a thermos of hot water, a mate cup and straw. They delight in all sharing the same straw, a ceremony known as
: The Ronda de Mates. A very effective way of passing on any lurgy you may have to all your "mates".
I have forgotten to mention the buffet breakfast. Massive. But why do they always make such shit coffee? Never figured that one out. Seems to be true the World over.
We swam, we walked and toured the old town and markets. Man Utd lost to Roma (first leg), the sunset was great, we watched a milonga (free tango lesson)in a local bar and i lost in the casino. Never book into hotels that have a casino in the basement.
