Channy's Travels: Hasta Luego Uruguay!

Waiting. Still waiting. No one ever talks about all the waiting I'd have to do while backpacking. Bus stations. Airports. Grocery stores. Ferry terminals. As much as I hate waiting in general, waiting allows a lot of free time to reflect and decompress before I move on to the next city or country. Here are some of my highlights from Uruguay.

Termas del Dayman

Thermal hot springs about 12km south of Salto was a great way to relax and let my body slow down and recover from the long stretch of bus rides I had completed over the previous few days. Tons of reading accomplished and an epic sunset to boot.

Waking up to a Present!

At the start of my time in Montevideo I befriended a bunch of people including a couple my age from Sao Paulo. After a few days of laughter, parilla and sherades, they had to leave as everybody eventually does. After saying good bye I promptly fell asleep. And awoke to a small tub of Dulce de Leche that we had shared but not finished from the night before! The bread was an afterthough.. so you're essentially looking at one of my past lunches. Pedro y Tabatha! Muito obrigado!

Punta del Este

"The Miami of South America" while a busy and hectic scene during summer, the winter 22C sunshine is deemed too chilly for the locals. Miles of almost empty beaches run either way around the tip while a hand sculpture built in the sand attracts thousands of tourists (like myself) a year.
