Good afternoon! Here I write again, this time in the capital city of Uruguay, namely Montevideo.
Yesterday we woke up quite early, just to fix all things in the bag, take photos of Hostel Pangea and all people we know there. Diêgo felt strong saudade for leaving Pangea, it was like our home. We had everything there, our room, living room, friends around us, breakfast, computer, and we knew the city, at least the districts around us.
We went to eat, as usual at McDonald´s, my god Im gonna hate that place soon! We came to the Plaza de Mayo infront of the Pink House were we could buy food to feed the doves. The doves attacked us, we just opened one bag of food and they flied to us, landed on our hands, arms, heads and shoulders, think I had 10 doves at me at the same time.
After the dove attack we went to he harbour were we bought a ticket by ferry to Montevideo. We went through the passport control and got two new stamps, one for leaving Argentina and the other for entering Uruguay. Then we took the ferry where we spent around five hours inside crossing the Rio de la Plata. It looks like an ocean cause of the size, and if you look at the worldmap it looks like a part of the ocean, like a bay or fiord, but actually it is a river, it is sweet water and the water is flowing out into the ocean, so it is a river, a really wide one. This river is more wide than the strip of ocean slipping between the coasts of Sweden and Denmark in Kattegatt, were a boat trip takes 20 minutes, compared to this one of 5 hours.
The ferries here were alot different from the one I know in Kattegatt, for exemple this one looks more like a big big airplane were you have your own seat. There is no restaurant, you go and buy your food and take it to your seat. Well, in the middle of the big room there is a stair leading down to the tax free shop, that reminds a little of the tax free shops I know, exept the size. I slept a while in the ferry, when it was dark outside we arrived in Montevideo, the capital of my 10:th country, Uruguay.
We found a place for 330 pesos, wich is around 90 crowns. Many places here ask for dollars, even in the ferry they only wrote the price in dollar, wich I think is boring, and it sucks.
Uruguay seem to be a nice country, its just a pity the city close when it is dark, so there is not many things to do then.
This was all for today, see you again, bye!
