Uruguay... hehe U R Gay

a nice relaxing break from the madness of Buenos Aires

sunny 18 °C

In Urugauy, we enjoyed a couple of relaxed days doing nothing. We saw a sealion attack one of our Norwegian friends, Inge, and we had a couple of kick ass steaks. It was really nice to get away from the craziness of Buenos Aires for two days. We got a kick ass speed boat to Uruguay and watch a lot of Family Guy on Jack's PSP. We then went to withdraw some of the local currency and suddenly we were loaded!

We also got to see a fully complete Panini World Cup 1990 (featuring Bernie Slaven) sticker album and met a Michael Carrick look-a-like. We were in Punta Del Este but it was the off season so there wasn't much going on... execept for the sealions, but it looked nice and we finally recovered from our Buenos Aires hangovers. We did breifly enter one of the fancy casinos where Tilly managed to lose 3 days rent in 5 minutes while playing blackjack... but thats only about 40 quid in euros, ...oh there's a big hand in the sand there too.

The next day we went to Montevideo, where everything was closed, but we managed to find a massive steak market which had loads of live music... and of course huge steaks. We then went to the cinema to see some film with Pierce Brosnan in it... Butterfly or something, its rubbish. Pierce can't even do a n Irish accent!

The next day we got up ridicously early and got the seacat back to Buenos Aires for the Boca River derby (the biggest football match in south america) Derek spent all this time in bed in BA and Conor changed his relationship status in facebook while in northern Brazil with the lovely Louke.
